Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to determine if a non-functioning UroMonitor device can be safely inserted, monitored, and removed in patients with SCI.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This prospective, observational study will be conducted with 10 patients with chronic thoracolumbar SCI who are already undergoing routine UDS studies as part of their care. Following their routine UDS, a non-functioning UroMonitor device will be inserted and removed after 3 hours. Participants' symptoms will be monitored after the UroMonitor is inserted, following the 3 hour monitoring period, and again after UroMonitor removal. A second cystoscopy will be conducted for research purposes after removal to examine the urethra and bladder for any irritation or trauma. During insertion and removal, the urologist will document the time required for insertion and any difficulties encountered

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Cervical or Thoracolumbar (T2-L1 spinal level) spinal cord injury with AIS A, B, C, or D severities of injury.
2. Age 17-75.
3. At least 1 year post-injury.
4. At least one prior urodynamics study in the past 12 months that has objectively documented abnormalities on bladder function consistent with an upper motor neuro lesion.
5. History of neurogenic bladder symptoms requiring some form of intervention (e.g. clean intermittent catheterization, condom catheter)

Exclusion Criteria

1. Lumbar injuries (L2-S1 spinal level) where the injury is primarily to the cauda equina and not to spinal cord.
2. History of autonomic dysreflexia (such individuals are excluded to minimize the chance of inducing autonomic dysreflexia with device insertion).
3. Active urinary tract infection.
4. Past urethral or bladder reconstruction surgery
