Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 200,326, filed August 3, 2015, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to the field of tissue mapping and ablation. In particular, the present disclosure relates to devices and methods for properly positioning mapping and ablation electrodes within lumens of the human body, including the bladder. Background technique [0004] Overactive bladder is a medical condition that affects 50 million people in the United States. Individuals with overactive bladder typically experience increased urinary urgency and frequency, and occasional urinary incontinence. Overactive bladder may result from increased triggering of sensitive pathways involved in normal bladder control. It has been suggested that abnormal bladder activity may result from morphological change...
