TSCIR Webinar Part 4: Objective Measurement of Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction
Wednesday, April 8, 2026
12:00 pm EST
>>>Register Here<<<
Managing neurogenic bowel dysfunction in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) is often challenging and poorly understood, frequently necessitating iterative trials of medications, dietary modifications, and per-rectum interventions. A major barrier to advancing neurogenic bowel care is the absence of routinely implemented objective measures that adequately characterize bowel function in the SCI population. Although no standardized gastrointestinal function measures are currently recommended for this purpose, such measures likely exist.
To address this gap, we conducted a systematic review of the neurogenic bowel literature across neurologic populations to identify available objective assessments and to evaluate their clinical application and utility. While we identified several objective measures with potential clinical relevance, most demonstrated weak correlations with subjective assessments of neurogenic bowel function. These findings suggest that comprehensive evaluation of neurogenic bowel dysfunction requires the complementary use of both patient-reported outcomes and objective physiologic measures. In this webinar we will discuss some of these outcome measures and their clinical feasibility.
