Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study attempts to examine the effect of unsupervised pelvic floor muscle training among individuals with neurogenic bladder following spinal cord injury. ASIA Scale will be used as screening tool. Primary outcome is Urodynamic study in which pre and post intervention values will be compared among intervention and compatator groups. Secondary outcomes are neurogenic bladder symptom score(NBSS), Overactive bladder symptom score scale(OABSS) and bladder diary. Bladder diary will be maintained to record frequency, urgency. NBSS and OABSS will be assessed pre and post intervention and progression of urinary symptoms will be tracked. Pelvic floor muscle exercises will be taught to the intervention group along with standard care until they understand and able to perform and will be called to OPD if they face any problems. Follow up will be taken twice a week through phone calls. Comparator group will be taught standard care. All the outcomes will be assessed after 3 months of intervention. The data will be statistically analysed and result will be drawn.
