Bladder study using MRI for catheter users with spinal cord injury
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses an upright MRI scanner to look at the bladder while people with spinal cord injury use a catheter. It aims to understand bladder function better, which could help improve catheter use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have had a spinal cord injury for at least 1 year
- You have used catheters as your main way to empty your bladder for at least 3 months
- You can sit in an MRI scanner for 20 minutes
- You do not have any metal implants or devices like a pacemaker

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses brain and spine scans (and possibly nerve stimulation in some cases) to understand how the nervous system changes after spinal cord injury or certain spinal conditions. It may help researchers better track recovery and understand which changes are linked to symptoms like bladder problems.
This study uses an MRI scan to look at how the brain controls bladder function after you’ve had a sigmoid “neobladder” surgery. You may be able to take part if you’re well enough for MRI and don’t have certain brain, mental health, or urinary conditions.
This trial tests a combination of magnetic stimulation and ultrasound therapy to help improve bladder control in people with spinal cord injuries who have overactive bladder muscles. The goal is to see if this treatment can reduce symptoms like urgency or leakage.
This trial tests if a balloon dilation procedure in the urethra can help people with spinal cord injury empty their bladder naturally. It looks at whether the treatment reduces the need for catheters.
This study tests a new non-invasive device that uses radio waves to monitor how full your bladder is. Researchers want to see if this technology can accurately detect bladder fullness without inserting any tubes or catheters.
This early-stage study uses special MRI imaging to create a “virtual view” of the bladder wall so doctors can better stage bladder cancer before treatment. If you qualify, you may get MRI imaging using contrast medicines as part of planning your surgery.
