Nerve stimulation and standing for spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 or older.
- Your spinal cord injury happened at least 12 months ago and is between vertebrae C7 and T10.
- Your injury is classified as AIS A, B, C, or D (meaning it is motor-complete or incomplete).
- You have bladder problems related to nerve damage (neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction).
- You can safely use a standing frame (the study team will check this).
- You speak and understand English.

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 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 study tests a new combination of spinal cord and nerve stimulation to help people with spinal cord injuries regain hand function. If you have some movement in your hands but want to improve it, this trial might help you.
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 stimulation through the skin of the tibial nerve can help people with a new spinal cord injury. It may help improve bladder-related symptoms or nerve signaling after injury, compared with standard care.
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.
