Bladder filling speed and autonomic dysreflexia in spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares how fast the bladder is filled during a urodynamic test and how that affects autonomic dysreflexia (a sudden rise in blood pressure) in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It aims to find safer testing methods.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Have a spinal cord injury that happened at least 6 months ago
- Be between C1 and T6 level of injury with AIS A or B (complete or nearly complete injury)
- Have had autonomic dysreflexia (a sudden rise in blood pressure) during a prior bladder filling test
- Your systolic blood pressure stays below 150 during the test
- No unstable blood pressure or active urinary tract infection

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how the heart is built and works in people with long-term spinal cord injury, especially those who have autonomic dysreflexia. It might help doctors understand heart risks and improve care.
This trial tests if giving Botox injections early (within 20 weeks of injury) into the bladder muscle can help with bladder function and prevent problems. It may help people with recent, severe spinal cord injuries above the T6 level.
This trial tests a combination of magnetic stimulation and ultrasound therapy to help improve bladder control in people with spinal cord injuries who have overactive bladder muscles. The goal is to see if this treatment can reduce symptoms like urgency or leakage.
This study looks at how well the body’s automatic nerve functions (like heart and blood pressure control) work after a traumatic spinal cord injury. The goal is to better understand preserved nerve function and autonomic (automatic body) control, which could help guide future treatments.
This study tests whether a non-invasive spinal cord stimulation device can help regulate blood pressure in people with spinal cord injury who have low blood pressure symptoms. It may help you feel less dizzy or faint when you sit or stand up.
This trial tests if a balloon dilation procedure in the urethra can help people with spinal cord injury empty their bladder naturally. It looks at whether the treatment reduces the need for catheters.
