First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 22 adults with spinal cord injury to understand whether anxiety or physical discomfort causes changes in heart rate and blood pressure during bladder catheterization. Participants either did the procedure themselves or had a nurse do it, with some not knowing when it would happen. The goal was to separate emotional stress from physical sensation to improve care.
