KEY FINDING: Electrical stimulation of the pudendal nerve trunk can induce detrusor contraction, demonstrating an excitatory pudendal-to-bladder reflex in dogs.

KEY FINDING: Two prediction models were developed: a full model using LEMS, light-touch sensation in the S3 dermatome, and SCIM subscale respiration and sphincter management; and a simplified model based on LEMS only.

KEY FINDING: GNS was tolerable up to 30±16 mA, exceeding twice the pudendal-anal (PA) reflex threshold of 8±5 mA.

KEY FINDING: Genital nerve stimulation significantly increases bladder capacity in individuals with neurogenic detrusor overactivity.

KEY FINDING: In the group with LMN lesion, the mean value of maximal anal squeeze pressure (MSP) was slightly higher than that in the group with UMN lesion.

KEY FINDING: Methods used to manage neurogenic bowel and bladder are multifaceted, with consistency in some areas but significant variations based on neurological status and quality of life.

KEY FINDING: IMFC ES was effective in patients with AIS levels B and C, significantly decreasing PVR and LOSS compared with patients receiving standard care

KEY FINDING: The study will synthesize the available evidence of RT combined with acupuncture for NB secondary to SCI, including episodes of urinary incontinence, urinary retention, urinary tract infection, bladder overactivity, quality of life, and adverse events.

KEY FINDING: All 16 subjects who started the study completed the 4-week trial rating TTNS with high satisfaction and easy to use, without discomfort.

KEY FINDING: Spinal fMRI responses of the intermediolateral columns were found during audiovisual stimulation in both subjects with incomplete injuries, but not in the subject with a complete injury.
