Effect Of Magnetic Therapy In Bladder Dysfunction And Quality Of Life In Paraplegic Patients

Forty male Paraplegic patients will be recruited.…from outpatients' clinics and their ages from 20 to 35 years and the inclusion criteria for the study will be a stable American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AISA) A/B, motor complete spinal cord injury between spinal levels T6-T12 present for greater than 1 year, and a documented history of neurogenic bladder requiring intermittent catheterization. Each subject will require to have at least three prior urodynamic studies to confirm the diagnosis of neurogenic bladder with detrusor sphincter dyssynergia (DSD), which was diagnosed with urodynamic study in which a rise in detrusor pressure and concomitant needle EMG activity and rise in urethral pressure were demonstrated Patients with a history of autonomic dysreflexia were excluded from the study. Any patient who will be ventilator dependent, abusing drugs, have musculoskeletal dysfunction (i.e., unstable fractures), cardiopulmonary diseases, active infections or ongoing depression requiring treatment, or have previous exposure to and use of spinal cord stimulation will be excluded from the study. Patients with a history of bladder Botox injection or bladder/sphincter surgeries will be excluded
