Abstract:   (16134 Views)
Patients with neurological diseases are likely to have incomplete bladder emptying either as a result of detrusor hypocontractility or detrusor sphincter dyssynergia. Incomplete emptying of bladder can in turn lead to worsening urinary symptoms. In this study, the bladder massager as a new patent is invented by a group of doctors and engineers to rehabilitate bladder and help with the voiding process and increase free-flow rates. The massager is consisted of mechanical and electrical parts. It can strengthen the bladder contractions and help with the voiding process. Patients hold the device on their suprapubic about 2.5 cm above the symphysis pubis while voiding. This study is considered to be the first step for future clinical experiments to determine the effect of such devices on neurogenic patients.
