Individuals with moderate/marked improvements in AD symptoms following detrusor injection displayed poorer baseline bladder compliance and higher detrusor pressure compared to individuals with no/mild improvement of AD. How treatment of common urological dysfunction can improve AD following SCI Daily care routines, including intermittent catheterization and bowel emptying, are unavoidable and often provoke AD in susceptible individuals. However, whether Botox treatment for neurogenic bladder also improves AD symptoms is unclear. [Extracted from the article]
