Incomplete spinal cord injury, Pelvic floor, Conservative treatment, MaleAbstract
Pelvic floor disorders are one of the most common complications in male patients with spinal cord injury. The aim of this review was to analyse the available evidence on the efficacy of different treatments used for pelvic floor dysfunctions in men with incomplete spinal cord injuries. The Scopus, Medline, PEDro, Web of Science, Dialnet, Pubmed and Cochrane databases were consulted for papers in Spanish and English published in the last twenty years. Fifteen articles were included, comprising a total of 706 male patients with incomplete spinal cord injury. In male patients with neurogenic bladder and erectile dysfunction, the best results were obtained with neuromodulation and combined treatments (electrotherapy or acupuncture / electroacupuncture with catheterization or bladder training).
