Axonics Therapy
What is Axonics Therapy?
Axonics therapy is a treatment option for patients experiencing symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB). It involves implanting a small device that stimulates the nerves that control the bladder, helping to reduce the symptoms of OAB, such as urgency and frequency. Axonics therapy is a safe and effective option for those who have not found relief from other treatments, such as medication or behavioral therapy.

- Clinically Proven: In a clinical study, Axonics Therapy provided sustained safety and symptom relief at 3 years2
How does Axonics Therapy work?
Axonics therapy involves the implantation of a small device that stimulates the sacral nerve, which controls the bladder and surrounding muscles. This stimulation helps to normalize communication between the bladder and the brain, reducing symptoms such as urgency and frequency associated with OAB.
 | The Evaluation Step: To see if Axonics Therapy is right for you, you will undergo a short period of therapy using a temporary system. The evaluation period allows you to experience the level of symptom relief the therapy may provide before you commit to long-term therapy. |
 | Long-term Therapy: If you and your doctor determine that Axonics Therapy is right for you, you will have an outpatient procedure where the miniaturized Axonics implant is placed just beneath the skin in the upper part of your buttock and leads are placed near the sacral nerve. Patients can control the device using a wireless remote, adjusting the level of stimulation as necessary. |
Clinically Proven. Patient Approved.
Axonics therapy is a safe and minimally invasive treatment option for those with OAB who have not found relief from other treatments. Patients may experience significant improvements in their quality of life, including fewer bathroom trips and less urgency.
