Neurogenic bladder dysfunction, often called by the shortened term neurogenic bladder, refers to urinary bladderproblems due to disease or injury of the central nervous systemor peripheral nerves involved in the control of urination. [1][2]There are multiple types of neurogenic bladder depending on the underlying cause and the symptoms.
Contents. Overactive bladder. Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition where there is a frequent feeling of needing to urinate to a degree that it negatively affects a person's life. [ 2 ] The frequent need to urinate may occur during the day, at night, or both. [ 4 ] Loss of bladder control (urge incontinence) may occur with this ...
Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS), also referred to as posterior tibial nerve stimulation, is the least invasive form of neuromodulation used to treat overactive bladder (OAB) and the associated symptoms of urinary urgency, urinary frequency and urge incontinence. These urinary symptoms may also occur with interstitial cystitis and ...
Studies have shown that the stress associated with OAB can severely impact a person's self-image and quality of life. leading to depression, isolation, and a loss of self-efficacy (the ability to ...

Autonomic neuropathy (AN or AAN) is a form of polyneuropathy that affects the non-voluntary, non-sensory nervous system (i.e., the autonomic nervous system), affecting mostly the internal organs such as the bladder muscles, the cardiovascular system, the digestive tract, and the genital organs. These nerves are not under a person's conscious ...
Neurogenic disorders like multiple sclerosis, spina bifida, Parkinson's disease, strokes and spinal cord injury can all interfere with nerve function of the bladder. [20] This can lead to neurogenic bladder dysfunction; Overactive bladder syndrome. However, the etiology behind this is usually different between men and women, as mentioned above.
Bladder sphincter dyssynergia (also known as detrusor sphincter dyssynergia (DSD) (the ICS standard terminology agreed 1998) [1] and neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO)) is a consequence of a neurological pathology such as spinal injury [2] or multiple sclerosis [3] which disrupts central nervous system regulation of the micturition (urination) reflex resulting in dyscoordination of the ...
