Functional and structural changes in the lower urinary tract (LUT) due to the lack of estrogen.
Abstract
The lower urinary tract symptoms, including those of the overactive bladder syndrome, increase after menopause, when the lack of estrogen results in both functional and structural changes in the lower urinary tract (LUT). Its is possible that lack of estrogen increases afferent nerve activity from the LUT but this is not certain at all. If an effect would be present can it then be counteracted by estrogen treatment. To investigate this, we will use direct recording of afferent nerve activity from the LUT through both A and C-fibers with single fiber electrophysiological technique.Researcher(s)

Types of electrical current for diagnosis and treatment of lower urinary tract.
Abstract
Electrical stimulation is used for diagnosis in the lower urinary tract and for treatment of different urological pathologies. In the vast majority square wave pulses are used but with limited success. We explore the use of alternative types of electrical current which can be more specific and more physiological both in electro diagnosis as in electrotherapy.Researcher(s)

Research into the value of pelvic physiotherapy in the different area's of the pelvic region in humans: evaluation of impact of treatment of different system on adjacent systems.
Abstract
It has become clear that many health problems in the pelvic region in humans should be studied and treated globally taking into account interactions between systems and organs. There is also growing evidence that physical therapy of the pelvic region has an important role. We study the interactions of pelvic physiotherapy done for problems in one system on adjacent systems and the global effect on all systems together.Researcher(s)

Influence of local and parenteral admission of farmaca on the afferente potentials of the dorsal root L6-S1 in female wistar rats.
Abstract
Inaccuracy of the sensivity of the lower urinary tract is still a common problem and results in pain, incontinence and micturition disorders. Because the afferent nerves play an important role in the control of the motor activity, they become an interesting target for novel therapies. Modulators of these receptors show controversial results both in literature and clinical practice which implies further research is needed. Our laboratory developed a rat model to investigate the influence of these drugs on the afferent activity of the bladder. Activity is measured by action potential ananlysis.Researcher(s)
