Default Bladder Management for Adults with Spinal Cord Injury

Although this is titled for people with SCI, much of the content is very applicable to those with MS who have significant spinal cord involvement:

The Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, an organization of 22 different professional and consumer organizations concerned with spinal cord injury care, has released their latest clinical practice guideline. This one has been a long time in development, but was written by the leading experts in the field. You can download a free copy of the professional version here (this is the direct PDF):

Bladder Management for Adults with Spinal Cord Injury

The consumer version will probably not be completed until 2007. I would still recommend printing this out and sharing a copy with your urologist or PCP. There is some excellent information in here, esp. for those professionals who are less experienced in working with problems of neurologic urology.

You can find all of the Consortium Clinical Practice Guidelines (consumer or professional versions) on this page now (the URL has changed). They are now all free for downloading:
