Those showing more than a 50% improvement of bladder variables, received implantable pulse generators (IPG) and were randomized to either treatment group (IPG ON) or to sham group (IPG OFF) for 1 month. During second month, all patients had the IPG ON until the end of the trial. The primary endpoints were trial feasibility, recruitment potential, and response rate at the end of SNM test phase. Secondary endpoint was safety. Changes in key bladder diary\u2010derived variables and patient reported outcomes were recorded as well.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Thirty\u2010two patients were screened, 17 were eligible and 13 were included in the SNM test phase. Eleven were considered responders and were implanted with IPG. Subsequently, six patients were randomized to the treatment group and five to the sham group. No serious adverse events were reported. In the intervention phase, both objective and subjective improvements were seen in the treatment group, while the symptoms in the sham group remained mostly unchanged. At study completion, six patients reported being completely satisfied, three were mostly satisfied, and two were indifferent to the treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This pilot trial demonstrated feasibility of double\u2010blind RCT assessing safety and efficacy of SNM in MS patients.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Trial registration:<\/jats:bold> <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/\">ClinicalTrials.gov<\/jats:ext-link> NCT05380856.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/nau.70052","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,14]],"date-time":"2025-04-14T10:29:21Z","timestamp":1744626561000},"page":"1109-1119","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Sacral Neuromodulation for Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract, Bowel and Sexual Dysfunction in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis: A Pilot Trial"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"44","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2847-6257","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hanne","family":"Kobber\u00f8","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Odense University Hospital Odense Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Research Research Unit of Urology University of Southern Denmark Odense Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4205-5926","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan","family":"Krhut","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology University Hospital Ostrava Ostrava Czech Republic"},{"name":"Department of Surgical Studies Ostrava University Ostrava Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6972-6980","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter","family":"Zvara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Odense University Hospital Odense Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Research Research Unit of Urology University of Southern Denmark Odense Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3266-1877","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Torben Br\u00f8chner","family":"Pedersen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Odense University Hospital Odense Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Research Research Unit of Urology University of Southern Denmark Odense Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8963-4581","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mikkel","family":"Fode","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Copenhagen University Hospital \u2010 Herlev and Gentofte Hospital Copenhagen Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine University of Copenhagen Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7319-1368","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Helle Hvilsted","family":"Nielsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Odense University Hospital Odense Denmark"},{"name":"Institute of Molecular Medicine, Neurobiology Research University of Southern Denmark Odense Denmark"},{"name":"BRIDGE \u2013 Brain Research \u2013 Inter Disciplinary Guided Excellence University of Southern Denmark Odense Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7622-8402","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mads Hvid","family":"Poulsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Esbjerg and Grindsted Hospital, University Hospital of Southern Denmark Esbjerg Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Regional Health Research University of Southern Denmark Odense Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2024.1448377"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00003495-200363020-00003"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_4_1","unstructured":"European Association of Urology Guidelines.
