Bladder test speed may trigger dangerous blood pressure spikes in spinal injury patients
NCT ID NCT06211491
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how fast the bladder is filled during a urodynamic test affects a condition called autonomic dysreflexia (sudden high blood pressure) in people with spinal cord injuries. Researchers will test two different filling speeds in 30 participants to see which one causes fewer problems. The goal is to make this common test safer and more comfortable.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors choose safer bladder filling speeds during urodynamic tests for spinal cord injury patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It does not test a new treatment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with chronic spinal cord injury 6 months after receiving the award 2. Patients with confirmed AD due to bladder fullness in previous urodynamic test 3. Patients confirmed to have neurological damage level C1-T6, AIS A or B Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who cannot perform the test because their systolic blood pressure remains at 150 mmHg during the urodynamic test 2. Patients who cannot undergo testing due to hemodynamic instability 3. Patients who cannot undergo testing due to overt urinary tract infection
