Understanding Experiences with Bladder Instillations for Spinal Cord Injury
This study wants to understand the experiences of people with spinal cord injuries and neurogenic bladder (a bladder problem due to nerve damage) and their caregivers. Researchers are interested in your thoughts on different bladder instillations (medicines put directly into the bladder) like Lactobacillus, gentamicin, or a combination of both. The goal is to learn what you like, what challenges you face, and what could be improved with these treatments for urinary symptoms and infections. You can join if you are 18 or older, have neurogenic bladder, use a catheter, and have experience with these instillations. Caregivers of such patients can also participate. The study aims to understand your preferences and overall experiences over 12 months.
