Reduced Reflex Autonomic Responses following Intradetrusor OnabotulinumtoxinA Injections: A pre/post study in Individuals with Cervical and Upper Thoracic Spinal Cord Injury
Abstract:Importance: Urodynamic studies (UDS) can provoke autonomic dysreflexia (AD) in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) at and above the sixth thoracic (T6) spinal segment potentially leading to profound vagally mediated heart rate reductions. Intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injections have been shown to reduce AD events during UDS in this cohort but evidence is lacking whether this treatment can improve reflex autonomic responses.
Objective: To assess the effects of intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injecti… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
