Abstract: Sacral neuromodulation, tibial neuromodulation, and intravesical electrical bladder stimulation are the neuromodulation techniques widely used in the clinical practice of lower urinary tract dysfunction in China, and they are constantly innovated and developed, and various new devices and methods from China are innovated. At the same time, new imaging techniques, near infrared techniques, and their analytical methods are also applied to explore the central mechanism of the therapeutic effectiveness of the various neuromodulation techniques. This article focuses on the current status and progress of the above two aspects of national and international research, emphasizes the need to adhere to uphold fundamental principles and break new ground in the research and practice of neuromodulation of lower urinary tract dysfunction, and elaborates on the prospect of the research on the central mechanism of neuromodulation as well as the challenges that exist.
