Heart Rate Variability: An Objective Measure of Autonomic Activity and Bladder Sensations During Urodynamics Ulrich Mehnert, Peter A. Knapp, Nicole Mueller, Andre´ Reitz, and Brigitte Schurch Spinal Cord Injury Center, Balgrist University Hospital, Zürich, Switzerland Aims: … cardiac autonomic activity during standard filling cystometry (FC) using heart rate variability (HRV) Results: in 12 healthy subjects the LF/HF ratio showed a reproducible activation pattern with a stable sympathovagal balance until FDV. Before SDV was indicated, the sympathovagal balance started to shift towards sympathetic activation and caused a significant increase in LF/HF. Conclusion: HRV analysis seems to be a useful indicator for the general activation pattern of the sympathovagal balance during FC, correlating the intensity of the bladder filling sensation to stress and sympathetic activation.

Restor Neurol Neurosci. 2005;23(5-6):331-9 The ability of physiological stimuli to generate the sympathetic skin response in human chronic spinal cord injury Nicotra A, Catley M, Ellaway PH, Mathias CJ. PURPOSE: … in chronic SCI .. if recording the sympathetic skin response (SSR) provides evidence of integrity of the spinal component of the sympathetic pathways. METHODS: Thirty subjects with chronic SCI and 15 healthy normal subjects were studied. The SSR was elicited using two physiological (auditory and inspiratory gasp) stimuli. In addition, electrical (median and peroneal nerve) stimulation was also performed. RESULTS: Palmar and plantar SSRs could be readily elicited in all control subjects by all stimuli. In the majority of SCI subjects, the presence or absence of the SSR was related to the ASIA impairment scale. The exceptions indicated preserved (or damaged) sympathetic spinal cord pathways. CONCLUSIONS: .. SSR using either physiological or electrical stimuli, may be a reliable, noninvasive method of determining integrity of sympathetic cholinergic pathways in SCI
