Japan Journal of Nursing Science, 2025 • January 1, 2025
This research aimed to investigate the effects of a self-efficacy-centered self-management program on persons with neurogenic bladder (NGB) after spinal cord injury (SCI). The self-efficacy-centered s...
KEY FINDING: The intervention group demonstrated significantly better outcomes than the control group at 12 weeks post-intervention in self-management ability.
Sexual Medicine, 2024 • December 17, 2024
The study aimed to investigate the effect of bladder evacuation method on sexual activity in women with chronic SCI/D. Around half of the evaluated women were sexually active, regardless of bladder ev...

Pak J Med Sci, 2025 • January 1, 2025
This study evaluated the clinical efficacy of bladder function training combined with pelvic floor biofeedback electrical stimulation in treating neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury. The study...
KEY FINDING: Bladder function training combined with pelvic floor biofeedback electrical stimulation showed a significantly higher response rate compared to conventional treatment and bladder function training alone (82% vs 62%).
J. Clin. Med., 2025 • February 21, 2025
The study provides a current snapshot of the frequency of urinary incontinence (UI) and urinary tract infections (UTIs) in the spinal cord injury (SCI) population using data from the National Spinal C...
