Rehabilitation care of patients with neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury: A literature review.

This article reviews the research progress of rehabilitation treatment and nursing care of patients with neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury, in order to provide reference for the rehabilitation treatment and nursing care of patients. We reviewed recent medical literature on patients with neurogenic bladder, focusing on neurogenic bladder caused by spinal cord injury. We analyzed 30 recent of publications in patients with neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury, in addition to reviewing and evaluating the commonly used rehabilitation nursing methods for neurogenic bladder. Psychological counseling is a vital aspect which cannot be neglected in the process of neurogenic bladder rehabilitation. Hitherto, the commonly used drug and surgical treatments may have negatively impacted the mental health of patients in varying degrees. However, in clinical practice, applying intermittent catheterization in patients who have neurogenic bladder with spinal cord injury may help improve patients' life quality, mitigate psychological burden, and reduce negative emotions.
