Sacral nerve modulation for bladder and bowel problems after spinal cord injury
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests if sacral nerve modulation can improve bladder and bowel control in people with spinal cord injury. Patients receive a temporary stimulator first, and if it helps, they may get a permanent implant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older, any gender.
- Your bladder and bowel problems must be caused by a spinal cord injury.
- A bladder function test (urodynamics) must show your bladder isn't working normally.
- Your spinal cord injury classification should be B, C, or D (not A).
- Your safe bladder capacity must be more than 100ml.
- You must be willing and able to undergo an evaluation for sacral nerve surgery.

This trial studies whether sacral neuromodulation (a device that sends mild nerve signals) can improve bladder, bowel, and sexual symptoms caused by nerve problems. It is for people whose current bladder treatments have not worked well enough.
This trial is for people with overactive bladder who are already scheduled to receive a nerve stimulator implant (sacral neuromodulation). The study will measure how your body's automatic nervous system responds when the device is turned on, which may help doctors understand how the treatment works.
This study compares how well sacral nerve stimulation works on each side of the body for people with neurogenic bladder (bladder problems from nerve damage). The goal is to see if testing one side first can predict success for the other side.
This trial tests a nerve-stimulation approach to improve bladder control in people with spinal cord injury. It specifically targets bladder problems that require clean intermittent catheter use and includes regular testing over 6 months.
This trial tests whether spinal cord stimulation can help improve bladder and bowel function in people who have had a spinal cord injury for more than 6 months. The goal is to see if this treatment can restore more control and quality of life.
This trial tests two non-surgical treatments—magnetic and electrical nerve stimulation applied to the skin over the sacrum (base of spine)—to help control bladder overactivity in people with spinal cord injury. The goal is to reduce involuntary bladder contractions and improve bladder control.
