摘要:
Neurogenic bladder and bowel are two critical autonomic complications following traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI). Chronic lower urinary tract and bowel dysfunctions can lead to secondary complications, drastically affect the quality of life and significantly increase the risk of hospital readmission and mortality. Other than symptomatic treatments, a few effective therapies are available. Combined acupuncture and moxibustion therapy has positive effects on improving nerve repair and functional recovery in the early phases following TSCI. However, whether it is effective for TSCI-related chronic urinary and bowel dysfunctions remains unknown. This report presents the case of a 26-year-old male patient who experienced neurogenic bladder and bowel dysfunction following TSCI due to an accidental fall from height for more than 10 months and visited our department for combined acupuncture and moxibustion therapy. After 48 treatment sessions, he regained voluntary urination and defecation to a large extent. Urodynamic testing showed recovered bladder compliance and improved detrusor contractility. Symptom assessment with the Qualiveen Short-Form and neurogenic bowel dysfunction scores demonstrated reduced symptom severity. This case suggests that combined acupuncture and moxibustion therapy might help to restore the physiological functions of the lower urinary and digestive tracts following TSCI and might be a promising alternative for the treatment of neurogenic bladder and bowel dysfunction in patients with TSCI.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
