Spinal cord stimulation for early spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 65 years old and live in British Columbia or Ukraine.
- Your spinal cord injury happened 3–6 months ago (subacute) or more than 12 months ago (chronic).
- You have an ASIA Impairment Scale A or B injury between neck level C5 and mid-back T10.
- You have documented problems with bladder function.
- You are not pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, and use effective contraception if applicable.
- You agree to stick to the study schedule and your current bladder and bowel routines.

This trial tests a noninvasive way to stimulate the spinal cord to help the body’s “automatic functions” (like bladder, bowel, and sexual function) after spinal cord injury. If you’ve had a stable, complete spinal cord injury for more than a year, you may be eligible to try this approach and help researchers evaluate recovery.
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 whether spinal cord stimulation can improve heart and lung function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. Participants will receive a temporary stimulator and undergo breathing and cardiac tests.
This trial tests using a gentle electrical device on your spine at home to help with dizziness from low blood pressure (orthostatic hypotension). It is for people with chronic spinal cord injury or multiple system atrophy who live in British Columbia.
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.
This trial tests a treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the upper spine to help improve arm and hand function after a recent spinal cord injury. It is for people who are in the hospital and have injury levels between C1 and C8.
