I have heard of neuromodulation being used to treat bladder issues but you would need to find out from the doctor whether it would be appropriate for your specific bladder issues. You might find the following article helpful.

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.

I have had a stimulator for 17 years, with three battery changes each after 8 years.
I as a female can’t vouch for other symptoms that are helped by the stimulator, however my bladder function is greatly improved.
PNE started 2003 following Vaginal Hysterectomy, pelvic floor repair and right oophorectomy; eventually after many tests had BilateralTG surgery Nantes 2004; following this tried many other treatments including 7 day epidural, ketamin infusions to no avail; Trialed and was implanted with a Neurostimulator in 2007- Dr Van Buyten Belgium, this has enabled me to manage my pain much better.
