Study Evaluating the Ability of a NIRS Module to Detect a Urodynamic Variation in Humans

NIRS technology is therefore a technique that exploits the different absorption properties of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin to evaluate the degree of tissue oxygenation. This hemodynamic response is measured in a completely non-invasive and silent manner, by the simple emission of light passing through different layers of biological tissue.

In the literature, some studies concerning the use of the NIRS method for the study of urodynamics exist. They seem to show a correlation between the data of the urodynamic assessment and the data obtained with the NIRS method. Certain trends seem to be repeated with, for example, an increase in oxyhemoglobin at the beginning of the filling phase and the beginning of the urination phase.

The aim of the study is to analyze the NIRS signal and find correlation with urodynamic data.

The main objective is to detect a urodynamic variation of the detrusor muscle during a contraction.
