Abstract:
Objective:To observe any effect of magnetic stimulation of the primary motor cortex and sacral nerve roots on urinary retention after spinal cord injury.Methods:Forty patients experiencing urine retention after a spinal cord injury were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, each of 20. Both groups received conventional treatment and repeated magnetic stimulation of the roots of the sacral nerve. The experimental group also received repeated magnetic stimulation of the bilateral primary motor cortices (M1 region). Bladder capacity and pressure indices, residual urine volume and life quality were evaluated in both groups before and after 8 weeks of treatment.Results:After the treatment, the average maximum bladder pressure, first sensation capacity, residual urine volume and life quality score of both groups had improved significantly, but the improvements in average first sensation capacity, residual urine volume and life quality score of the experimental group were significantly greater than those of the control group. There was, however, no significant difference in the groups′ average maximum bladder pressure after the treatment.Conclusion:Magnetic stimulation of the primary motor cortex and sacral nerve roots can significantly improve the sensory function of the bladder, reduce residual urine volume and improve the life quality of persons experiencing urinary retention after a spinal cord injury.
