Effects of repetitive functional magnetic stimulation in the sacral nerve in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity after suprasacral spinal cord injury: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) is a serious and common complication after spinal cord injury, affecting patients' quality of life seriously. Therefore, we developed this research protocol to evaluate the efficacy of repetitive functional magnetic stimulation (rFMS) in the sacral nerve in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) after suprasacral spinal cord injury (SCI) and provide more options for rFMS in treating NDO after suprasacral SCI.

Methods

This study is a single-center, randomized, parallel-group clinical trial. We will recruit the patients with NDO after suprasacral SCI in the Rehabilitation Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from September 2022 to August 2023. They will be assigned to the rFMS grou
