The importance of sensory afferent pathways in the assessment and management of the neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury: A conversation with Professor JJ Wyndaele
Manage episode 494499251 series 3324778
Key points:
- Key sensory afferent pathways from the urinary bladder to the spinal cord often remain intact in spinal cord injuries above the level of the conus medullaris.
b) The urinary bladder wall urothelial cells, sensory nerves, interstitial cells, smooth muscle cells and the chemo/mechanosensors in the urethral paraneurons or “brush cells” play a key role in bladder neurophysiology.
c) Knowledge regarding the sensory afferent pathways from the bladder could guide future neuromodulation therapeutic options for the neurogenic bladder after SCI.
