Study Summary
The present study aims to evaluate the relationship between the level of SCI and the impairment of Colonic transit time (CTT) and Total transit time (TTT) by using the SmartPill device. The SmartPill, an FDA approved device, is a wireless capsule that is ingested and transmits values for GI pH, temperature, and pressure as it travels throughout the digestive system. The SmartPill can also be used to assess CTT and TTT. In comparing values for CTT, TTT, pH, temperature, and pressure in SCI patients to healthy, able-bodied controls, the SmartPill device may provide valuable insight into the pathophysiological implications of SCI on GI function. This information may allow medical professionals to provide more effective plans of care for this population, subsequentially enhancing quality and quantity of life. The SmartPill device may also provide a less invasive alternative to assessing these variables, compared to traditional modalities.
