Early Botox for bladder control after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
