简要总结

The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the causes of gastrointestinal dysfunction after spinal cord injury. It has been thought that the microbiome (the community of bacteria in the body) may be one such cause. The study will examine whether changes in the distal gut microbiome are related to gastrointestinal dysfunction in persons with Spinal Cord Injury and Non-Disabled Controls.

入选标准

  • ≥ 1 year post-injury
  • Spinal cord injury resulting in Tetraplegia or Paraplegia (C5-T6) and motor complete or incomplete (AIS A-C) impairment. Injury level and impairment will be confirmed by an American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) exam conducted less than 2 years before study entry. If longer than 2 years, a certified rater will repeat the exam.
  • Self -reported history of constipation or other gastrointestinal dysfunction (e.g., extended bowel care time or difficulty in bowel emptying)
  • Willingness to participate in the study

排除标准

  • Currently hospitalized
  • American Spinal Injury Association (AIS) D-E
  • Self-reported history of Crohn's disease or diverticulitis, gastric blockage/obstruction or swallowing disorder
  • Gastrointestinal surgery ≤ 3 months prior to study
  • Implanted cardiac pacemaker, spinal cord stimulator, morphine (pain), or intrathecal pump
  • Concurrent use of surface functional electrical stimulation (FES)
  • Neurologically-Intact Persons:
  • Inclusion Criteria:
  • Age 18 or over
  • Willingness to participate in the study
  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Self-reported history of Crohn's disease or diverticulitis, gastric blockage/obstruction or swallowing disorder
