Pelvic floor training for bladder, bowel, and sexual health after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether pelvic floor muscle exercises can improve bladder, bowel, and sexual function in people with a spinal cord injury. If you have ongoing symptoms in these areas and a stable health routine, this trial may help you learn ways to strengthen those muscles.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 19 years old.
- You had a spinal cord injury at or above the T12 level at least 12 months ago, and it is non-progressive with some movement and feeling below the injury.
- You have bladder, bowel, or sexual problems caused by your spinal cord injury.
- Your spinal cord-related health issues (like muscle spasms or nerve pain) are well-controlled.
- You speak and understand English.

This trial tests whether combining a nerve stimulation therapy with standing exercises can improve bladder and bowel function after a spinal cord injury. It may help people who have nerve-related bladder problems.
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 using mild electrical pulses on the spinal cord can help people with spinal cord injuries regain better control of their bladder. It might be an option if you've tried other treatments without success.
This trial compares two non-invasive treatments—cold therapy and electrical stimulation along the spine—to see which one better improves erectile function and bladder control in men with spinal cord injury.
This study tests whether pelvic floor muscle exercises—done while you're in inpatient rehabilitation—can help improve bladder control and urinary function after spinal cord injury. The goal is to see if this type of training is practical and helpful during your hospital stay.
This trial tests if giving Botox injections early (within 20 weeks of injury) into the bladder muscle can help with bladder function and prevent problems. It may help people with recent, severe spinal cord injuries above the T6 level.
