Improvement of Understanding of Pediatric Sacral Neuromodulation: Therapeutic Strategies and Outcome Variables

The goal of this study is to learn about the effects of sacral neuromodulation in pediatric patients with gastrointestinal motility disorders. By combining advanced neuroimaging, patient-specific biophysical modeling, electrophysiological characterization, and clinical translation, the SMART-GUT project establishes a comprehensive framework to systematically investigate neuromodulation in this pediatric population. This integrative approach enables a direct link between mechanism, targeting, and clinical outcome.
