Using a novel technique to promote the regeneration of nerve cells across the site of severe spinal cord injury, researchers have restored bladder function in paralyzed adult rats, according to a new ...

Neurogenic bladder dysfunction, such as detrusor muscle hyperactivity and dyssynergia with the external urethral sphincter (EUS), are common long-term consequences affecting the wellbeing of patients ...

CLEVELAND – June 26, 2013 – For the first time, researchers have restored significant bladder function through nerve regeneration in rats with the most severe spinal cord injuries (SCI). The ...

November 07, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE – North American Spine and Pain has announced the introduction of a new clinical approach ...

In tests on rats, researchers at Johns Hopkins and the University of Michigan have developed a treatment that helps spinal cord nerves regrow after injury. The findings will be published in the July ...

When the spinal cord is injured, the damaged nerve fibers--called axons--are normally incapable of regrowth, leading to permanent loss of function. Considerable research has been done to find ways to ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal ...

An experimental cancer drug can regenerate damaged nerves following spinal trauma in mice and rats. The corresponding report was published in Clinical and Translational Medicine. Spinal cord injury ...

Neurological functions following spinal cord injury have generally been assessed using the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale. However, the scale primarily evaluates motor ...
