Abstract

Neurogenic bladder dysfunction following spinal cord injury (SCI) is a major source of morbidity,predisposing patients to recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), renal deterioration, andcompromised quality of life. Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) is widely recommended asthe gold standard for bladder emptying in this population
