Pelvic rehab with spinal cord stimulation after injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a spinal cord stimulator to help improve bladder and pelvic function in people with a spinal cord injury. You would use a small device placed near the spine that sends electrical pulses to help control your bladder better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a spinal cord injury above the sacrum (low back).
- Your injury happened more than 12 months ago.
- You are 18 or older.
- You have bladder overactivity problems (confirmed by a urodynamics test).
- Your bladder responds to a special nerve stimulation test (dorsal genital nerve stimulation).
- You are able to operate the device with your hands.

This trial tests a device to help men with spinal cord injuries control their bladder. It may help if you have reflex bladder contractions and your injury is above the sacral level.
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can help improve bladder, bowel, and other automatic body functions during inpatient rehab after a recent spinal cord injury. It's for people who have a non-worsening injury at or above the T6 level and are within 4 months of their injury.
This study tests a noninvasive spinal cord stimulation device for people with recent or long-term spinal cord injury. It aims to improve bladder function and is conducted in British Columbia, Canada, and Ukraine.
This study tests whether stimulating the nerves in your spine (via an epidural device) can improve rehab-related function after a spinal cord injury. It focuses on people with stable, motor-complete paraplegia and long-term injuries, and it compares how you respond to the stimulation during rehabilitation.
This study tests a nerve-stimulation treatment placed near the spinal cord to help people with long-term, non-worsening spinal cord injuries. It aims to see if stimulation can improve key functions like movement, bladder control, and breathing/standing safety.
This study tests if a special type of electrical stimulation on the lower back can help manage bowel function in people with a complete spinal cord injury from the T10 level or higher. It aims to make bowel care more predictable and easier.
