Modified duration, on the other hand, is a derivative ( rate of change ) or price sensitivity and measures the percentage rate of change of price with respect to yield.

Modified duration is defined as the logarithmic derivative of price with respect to yield, and such a definition will apply to instruments that depend on yields, whether or not the cash flows are fixed.

Surgical interventions for IC / BPS include transurethral fulguration and resection of ulcers, using electricity / laser ; bladder denervation, where some of the nerves to the bladder are cut ( Modified Ingelman-Sundberg Procedure ); bladder augmentation ; bladder removal ( cystectomy ); electrical nerve stimulation, similar to TENS, where an electrical unit is implanted in the body and provides continuous or intermittent electrical pulses to the affected areas ( Interstim ); spinal cord stimulation ( SCS ), where an electrical unit is implanted that provides electrical stimulation to the spinal cord, interfering with pain reception to the brain ( ANS / Advanced Neuromodulation Systems spinal Cord Stimulator ); and the implantation of the intrathecal pain pump, where very small amounts of medication, like morphine sulfate, dilaudid, or baclofen are released into the cerebrospinal fluid via a catheter stemming from the small electrical pump, requiring only about 1 / 100 to 1 / 300 the amount of medication needed orally for the same therapeutic benefit, but with significantly fewer side effects.
