Efficacy of a multimodal conservative rehabilitation program for bladder control in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury: A randomized controlled trial.

ObjectiveThe study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a multimodal intervention on urodynamic outcomes, urinary incontinence severity, and pelvic floor muscle strength in individuals with overactive bladder after incomplete spinal cord injury.MethodsA single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted on 74 male participants diagnosed with overactive bladder and incomplete spinal cord injury. Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group or a control group. Treatment was conducted for 8 weeks, three sessions per week. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and the 8-week follow-up.ResultsThe experimental group showed significantly greater improvements in the measured outcomes compared with the control group (P < 0.001).ConclusionIncorporating a multimodal regimen demonstrated significant efficacy in enhancing bladder capacity, continence, and muscle function in individuals with overactive bladder due to incomplete spinal cord injury.Clinical trial registry (ID: NCT07008157).https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07008157?cond=Spinal%20Cord%20Injuries&intr=Multimodal%20Rehabilitation%20Program&viewType=Card&rank=1.
