Objective: The study aimed to investigate sacral peripheral nerve function and continuity of pudendal nerve in patients with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) using pelvic floor electrophysiological tests.
Methods: Twelve patients with low cervical or thoracic SCI were prospectively included. Quantitative external anal sphincter (EAS) muscle electromyography (EMG), pudendal nerve terminal motor latency (PNTML) testing, bulbocavernosus reflex (BCR) testing and pudendal short-latency somatosensory-evoked potential (SEP) measurement were performed.
Study Design: Prospective cohort study.
Objective: Although introduced for neurogenic bladder dysfunction, it has been suggested that the artificial somato-autonomic reflex arch alleviates neurogenic bowel dysfunction (NBD). We aimed at evaluating the effects of the reflex arch on NBD.
Introduction: Upper motor neuron disorders are believed to leave the peripheral nervous system (PNS) intact. In this study we examined whether there is evidence of PNS involvement in spinal cord injury (SCI).
Methods: Twelve subjects with chronic low cervical or thoracic SCI were included prospectively.
Purpose: The artificial somato-autonomic reflex arch (Xiao procedure) was proposed as treatment for neurogenic bladder dysfunction. We investigated the effects of the procedure on lower urinary tract function.
Materials And Methods: Seven and 3 patients with a median age of 46 years (range 19 to 64) had AIS A and B spinal cord injury, respectively.
Study Design: Clinical study.
Objectives: To explore how supraconal spinal cord injury (SCI) affects colorectal emptying at defecation. Further, to relate findings to subject symptomatology expressed by bowel function scores and gastrointestinal transit time (GITT).
