are there objective criteria for subjective perceptions?
Initial bladder filling sensation, first and strong desire to void are subjective perceptions that occur periodically during the urine storage mode of bladder function, representing sensory input from the lower urinary tract. To our knowledge methods for evaluating sensory bladder function are not available. We studied a simple electrophysiological procedure for the objective assessment of bladder sensations using sympathetic skin responses and surface pelvic floor electromyography.
