In this work, we are presenting a rat animal model for bladder hyperreflexia after suprasacral
spinal cord transection. Our aim was to standardize an animal model that can be useful in …

Objectives. To determine the feasibility of urodynamic monitoring of voiding function in
conscious, female spinal cord-injured (SCI) rats and to compare the voiding function in SCI …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) rostral to the lumbosacral level causes bladder hyperreflexia and
detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia (DSD), which are accompanied by bladder hypertrophy. We …

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 …

Purpose: Neurogenic bladder dysfunction after spinal cord injury (SCI) is a major medical
and social problem for which there is no definitive solution. After the successful …

Objective To develop an animal model to examine the pathophysiology by which S3 sacral
root electrostimulation alters the micturition reflex in patients with bladder hyper‐reflexia …

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 …

Uninhibited bladder contractions are a problem in spinal cord injured patients. Accordingly,
methods using electrical stimulation to inhibit the bladder were investigated in chronic spinal …

Purpose: Capsaicin sensitive primary afferents (CSPA) have been implicated in the
pathogenesis hyperreflexia after spinalization. In this study we investigated the role of the …

Background: We examined the mechanism of urinary bladder motility return after bladder
areflexia induced by interruption of the sacral parasympathetic outflow to the urinary bladder …
