Join us in this episode for a conversation with Argyrios “Argy” Stampas, MD, physiatrist, Vice Chair of Research and Innovation and Full Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at UTHealth Houston’s McGovern Medical School, and Director of Spinal Cord Injury Medicine Research at TIRR Memorial Hermann. In this conversation we discuss the paper titled “Reduction of Overactive Bladder Medications in Spinal Cord Injury with Self-Administered Neuromodulation: A randomized Trial" published in The Journal of Urology. In this paper Dr. Stampas discusses self-administered tibial nerve stimulation (TNS) for neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury (SCI). The discussion highlights how noninvasive neuromodulation can reduce overactive bladder medication use, explores the underlying mechanisms, and considers what these findings mean for daily life and future SCI bladder management. We invite you to listen in as Dr. Stampas describes this device with the potential to reduce drug dependence for overactive bladder, and trust you will enjoy this episode.

Join us this episode for a conversation with Linda Ehrlich-Jones, RN, PhD, Associate Director of the Center for Rehabilitation Outcomes Research at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab and a Research Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. In this conversation we discuss the current state of the art in medicine for chronic pain in people living with spinal cord injury (SCI), with a focus on care that does not require drugs. The paper explaining the process is titled "Behavioral/Physical and Stimulation Interventions for Chronic Pain Following Spinal Cord Injury: A systematic review" published in Topics in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation. In this paper Dr. Ehrlich-Jones compared behavioral and complementary therapies with neuromodulation-based stimulation approaches for managing chronic neuropathic (or "nerve") pain after SCI. We invite you to listen in as Dr. Ehrlich-Jones gives a thorough current update on drug-free pain management, and trust you will enjoy this episode.
