Abstract:
Functional rehabilitation of neurourological patients always starts with patient education, retraining, and occupational therapy, possibly completed by medical treatments. In the light of a systematic review of the literature, the authors describe the various treatments that can be used orally and by intravesical instillation in these patients. They also describe treatments such as desmopressin or agents that increase sphincter pressure, which can sometimes be very useful to obtain stable clinical results that are satisfactory for the patient.

The Micturition Reflex
The process begins with bladder filling, where the bladder wall stretches as urine accumulates. This stretching activates the urine storage reflex, mediated by the sacral spinal segments and the pontine storage center. Efferent sympathetic impulses stimulate the detrusor muscle to relax and the internal urethral sphincter to contract, facilitating urine...
