Autonomic Function and Pain
The loss of bowel, bladder, and sexual function, autonomic dysreflexia, and chronic pain are some of the most important consequences of SCI. Indeed, according to a recent survey by RIRC member Kim Anderson, people with SCI reported that return of bowel / bladder and sexual function would most improve quality of life.
Motivated by Dr. Anderson's findings, investigators the RIRC are attempting to address these other SCI-related problems that are less obvious to able bodied individuals, including bladder function, autonomic dysreflexia, and chronic pain (Kim Anderson, Aileen Anderson, Os Steward, Hans Keirstead, David Luo).
