What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Summary

The investigators would like to improve our understanding of how early intervention with the use of bladder chemodenervation can preserve bladder function in those with a new SCI. Although detrimental cystometric and tissue changes are known to occur, often within 3 months after SCI, the investigators seek to document the time course of these changes and the range of severity of those changes in both those participants that receive prophylactic treatment and those who do not.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female 18-65 years of age at time of SCI. * English speaking * Recent SCI (within 20 weeks of injury). * Documentation of a spinal cord injury at T6 or higher, American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) level A or B as designated on initial (72 hour) AIS exam. * Ability for subject to comply with the requirements of the study. * Written informed consent obtained from subject. Exclusion Criteria: * Inability to return to research site (Harborview Medical Center) for follow-up studies after initial hospitalization. * Acute (as part of concurrent hospitalization) or history of bladder surgery (urethral or prostate surgery acceptable) or injury. * Inability to provide informed consent. * Pregnant, breastfeeding, or unwilling to practice birth control during participation in the study. * Incarcerated in a detention facility or in police custody. * Presence of a condition or abnormality that in the opinion of the Investigator would compromise the safety of the patient or the quality of the data. * Active medical problems precluding the safe conduct of urodynamics, bladder chemodenervation, bladder biopsy (e.g., evidence of active bladder infection, ruled out by urine culture prior to procedures) * Known hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or to any of the components in the formulation * Cardiovascular instability
