How Does Axonics Therapy Work?

Axonics Therapy provides gentle stimulation to the nerves that control the bladder and bowel, which can restore normal control and result in symptom improvement.

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.

Who is a Good Candidate for Axonics Therapy?

It is up to you and your healthcare provider to determine if you are a good candidate for Axonics Therapy.

Axonics Therapy is an approved treatment for patients suffering with:

• Overactive bladder (OAB): The urgent need to urinate which may result in frequent urination and/or incontinence (leakage) episodes
• Urinary frequency: The need to urinate 8 or more times a day, which may or may not be associated with urgency
• Urinary urgency incontinence (UUI): The urgent need to urinate or trouble holding urine before making it to the restroom
• Fecal (bowel) incontinence: Involuntary loss of stool which may or may not be associated with urgency
• Nonobstructive urinary retention (UR): The inability to completely empty the bladder which may result in trouble urinating or frequent small voids
