Improving bladder function among people with spinal cord injuries

Improving bladder function among people with spinal cord injuries

New research may lead to dramatically fewer bladder infections following spinal cord injuries and other traumatic injuries — infections that can cause kidney damage, and even death, scientists report.

People who have suffered spinal cord injuries are often susceptible to bladder infections, and those infections can cause kidney damage and even death. New UCLA research may go a long way toward…

One amazing side effect of using cannabinoid therapy, for me, was the reduction of nighttime waking to empty my bladder.  I was up 6-7 times to urinate before cannabinoids.  Now, I can sleep through the night.

Evidence suggests components of the endocannabinoid system are involved in regulation of bladder function, possibly at several levels of the micturition pathway. It is unclear if either CB receptor has a dominant role in modification of sensory signals or if differences exist at peripheral and central nervous sites. Amplification of endocannabinoid activity by FAAH inhibitors may be an attractive drug target in specific pathways involved in LUTS.
