OBJECTIVE: Neurogenic bladder (NGB) is a serious complication after spinal cord injury (SCI), a destructive neurological disease. This study focused on exploring the efficacy of the magnetic stimulation of sacral nerve roots combined with Tui-na in treating NGB after SCI. METHODS: One hundred patients with NGB after SCI were studied, and intermittent clean catheterization was performed with a water intake program, and patients were grouped into four groups by the random number table method: general treatment group, Tui-na group, magnetic stimulation group, and combined treatment group. A series of relevant factors (voiding diary, urodynamics, and quality of life scores) and clinical efficacy of patients in the four groups before and after treatment were observed. RESULTS: The magnetic stimulation of sacral nerve roots alone, Tui-na alone, and the combination of both were all effective in improving bladder function and quality of life in patients with NGB after SCI, including improvements in voiding frequency, single urine output, maximum urine output, residual urine output, bladder volume and quality of life scores in patients with NGB after SCI. The efficacy of the magnetic stimulation of sacral nerve roots combined with Tui-na was better than that of the magnetic stimulation of sacral nerve roots alone and the Tui-na alone. CONCLUSION: This research demonstrates that the magnetic stimulation of sacral nerve roots combined with Tui-na treatment could effectively improve the urinary system and the quality of life of patients with NGB after SCI, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
