Reducing Anticholinergic Bladder Medication Use in Spinal Cord Injury With Home Neuromodulation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating High Dose and Low dose for Chronic Spinal Cord Injury and Neurogenic Bladder. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of home transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) in spinal cord injury(SCI) and to determine the impact on quality of life using TTNS at home
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Electrodes 2 inch by 2 inch will be placed according to anatomic landmarks,with the negative electrode behind the internal malleolus and the positive electrode 10cm superior to the negative electrode, verified with rhythmic flexion of the toes secondary to stimulation of the flexor digitorum and hallicus brevis. The intensity level will be set to the amperage immediately under the threshold for motor contraction. If the patient perceives pain, the intensity will be lowered until comfortable. Stimulation frequency of 10 Hz and pulse width of 200ms in continuous mode will be used.
Toe flexion will be attempted, as in the TTNS protocol. Then the stimulation will be reduced to 1 mA for 30 minutes
