Effect of Intrathecal Baclofen on Bladder Function in Patients With Severe Supraspinal Spasticity
This study confirms a beneficial effect of ITB on bladder function in patients with severe supraspinal spasticity. However, concurring with the literature, a small subgroup of patients experienced serious deterioration in terms of increased reflex volume and residual volume, posing the risk of subsequent renal damage. Unfortunately, no urodynamic parameter predicted such a poor response to ITB before treatment initiation.
