We hypothesized that neuro-modulation of the spinal cord using transcutaneous magnetic stimulation would guide these patients to allow voluntary micturition and eliminate the need for catheterization. Transcutaneous magnetic stimulation (TMS) is non-invasive, painless and safe which has been used to modulate neuronal function in the treatment of various disorders. TMS depends on time-varying magnetic fields to induce an electric field. In the current research, we used computational modeling for TMS to stimulate the lumbar region of the spinal cord to improve the bladder function.
