One hundred eighteen patients consecutively admitted to a University Rehabilitation
Program entered a protocol study of urologic management. Bladder pressures were kept …

Lower urinary tract dysfunction is a common problem in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).
Since the coordination of the urinary bladder and urethra is controlled by the complex …

Introduction Neurogenic bladder is a common complication after spinal cord injury (SCI) that
carries substantial burdens on the inflicted individual. The objective of this study is to build a …

We describe an animal model to study neurotransmitter changes in parallel with urodynamic
testing following Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). Urodynamic access was achieved using a …

Background Prior studies have compared the effect of spinal cord injury elicited using
distinct approaches on motor and visceral function. However, the impact of such discrete …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) severely disrupts bladder function. What mediates bladder
dysfunction after SCI is currently unknown. We investigated the role that primary afferent …

Patients with suprasacral spinal cord injury usually exhibit severe lower urinary tract
dysfunction, which is generally attributed to loss of supraspinal input to the spinal micturition …

Micturition is coordinated at the level of the spinal cord and the brainstem. Spinal cord injury
therefore directly interrupts spinal neuronal pathways to the brainstem and results in bladder …

Spinal cord epidural stimulation (SCS) represents a form of neuromodulation for the
management of spasticity and pain. This technology has recently emerged as a new …

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) permanently alters bladder function in humans. Hematuria
and cystitis occur in both human SCI as well as in rodent models of SCI. Others have …
