Patient Reported Bladder Related Symptoms and Quality of Life after Spinal Cord Injury with Different Bladder Management Strategies

Abstract

In individuals with spinal cord injury fewer bladder symptoms were associated with an indwelling catheter and surgery, and worse bladder symptoms were noted in voiding individuals compared to those on clean intermittent catheterization. Satisfaction with the urinary system was improved after surgery compared to clean intermittent catheterization.
