Nerve stimulation for bladder issues after spinal surgery in children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests if electrical stimulation of a nerve in the pelvic area can improve bladder and urinary problems in children who have had surgery for tethered cord syndrome. It may help children who still have trouble controlling their bladder after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 3 and 18 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with tethered cord syndrome (a spinal condition) and related bladder or urinary problems.
- You have already had your first surgery to release the tethered cord.
- You are able to follow the treatment plan and come for follow-up visits.
- Your parent or guardian agrees to you taking part in the study.
- You do not have a current urinary tract infection or other serious bladder or kidney issues.

This study tests a non-invasive treatment called transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) for children with overactive bladder (OAB). The goal is to see if it can help reduce frequent, urgent urination by using mild electrical pulses near the ankle.
This study tests whether stimulating a nerve in the leg (the tibial nerve) with a small device can help children with spina bifida who leak urine even when using a catheter. The treatment is non-invasive, like a tiny electrical patch near the ankle, and aims to improve bladder control.
This trial tests if a simple, non-surgical nerve stimulation can help children with spina bifida who have bladder control problems. It may reduce the need for strong medications or catheter use.
This study tests if stimulating nerves in the lower back or ankle can help improve bladder function in people who have a recent spinal cord injury above the T11 vertebra (mid-back). It aims to find a new way to manage bladder problems without medication.
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.
This study tests a non-invasive treatment called transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) for people with overactive bladder caused by a spinal cord injury. The treatment involves applying mild electrical pulses to the ankle to help improve bladder control. If you qualify, you will receive the treatment and be monitored for safety and effectiveness.
