Abstract

Background

To present a comprehensive experience of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injected into the detrusor muscle in patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI) causing neurogenic detrusor overactivity.

Methods

Three hundred units of BTX-A were injected cystoscopically into the detrusor muscle of 108 patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity secondary to SCI at 30 different locations. Evaluations were performed before the injections and 6 weeks after, and they included determination of bladder urinary continence status, frequency/volume chart of CIC, concomitant anticholinergic medication use, Incontinence Quality of Life questionnaire (I-QOL) and patient satisfaction. Key urodynamic parameters (reflex volume, maximum detrusor pressure during voiding, detrusor compliance and maximum cystometric capacity) were analyzed at the outset and during the follow-up (6, 12 and 36 weeks) examinations.

Results

By the time of the urodynamic follow-up examinations (6, 12 and 36 weeks), the mean cystometric capacity (P < 0.05) and the mean reflex volume (P < 0.05) increased significantly, while the mean voiding pressure (P < 0.05) decreased significantly. No complications or side effects were reported. Most patients considerably reduced or even stopped taking anticholinergic drugs and were satisfied with the treatment.

Conclusions

This retrospective study indicates that BTX-A injections into the detrusor muscle to treat neurogenic detrusor overactivity secondary to SCI are safe and valuable. Significant improvement of bladder function corresponded with continence and subjective satisfaction indicated by the treated patients.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko

25.04.2024 Hypertonie Nachrichten

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.
