GSA
GENITOSENSORY ANALYZER ASSESSING PELVIC FLOOR SENSORY FUNCTIONS
In cooperation with leading neurologists and urologists in the USA,
Europe and Israel, Medoc has developed a system and methodology for
quantitative assessment of pelvic floor sensory functions. The GSA
GenitoSensory Analyzer system can be also applied as a valuable, new
diagnostic tool for assessment of neural dysfunction intra and peri-vaginally,
including clitoral sensation. The GSA GenitoSensory Analyzer assists in
determining whether FSD is caused by physiological or psychological
reasons, as well as assist in therapy selection and monitoring
progression and patients’ recovery. The system can also supply objective
documentation as well as a basis to argue for continued coverage with
insurance carriers. As thermal and autonomic fibers are small-fibers,
thermal testing with the GSA GenitoSensory Analyzer can be employed as a
means of inferring diagnostic information concerning autonomic response.
Thermal testing may provide a sensitive measure in autonomic disorders,
such as with neurogenic bladder, orthostasis and impotence (see below).
The GSA GenitoSensory Analyzer is the essential tool for evaluation of
nerve impairment in patients with a complaint of Female Sexual
Dysfunction (FSD) and other pelvic floor disorders. The GSA is designed
for use in clinical, research and pharmacologic trial settings.
COMPUTER-CONTROLLED SYSTEM CAPABLE OF GENERATING AND RECORDING
SENSORY THRESHOLDS
The GSA is a precise, computer-controlled system capable of generating
and recording sensory thresholds to highly repeatable warm, cold,
heat-induced pain and cold-induced painful stimuli (for evaluation of
small-caliber A-delta and C-fibers) and vibration (for evaluation of
large-caliber A-beta fibers). These psycho-physically derived thresholds
deviate from normal in cases of disease or injury to the peripheral or
central nervous system. The GSA is equipped with a probe for
intra-vaginal and peri-vaginal thermal (Pelvic Floor Thermode) and
vibratory testing.
