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 trial tests if a smart spinal cord stimulation device can improve leg movement in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. The device adjusts stimulation in real time to help you walk better.
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 a nerve-stimulation treatment placed near the spinal cord to help people with long-term, non-worsening spinal cord injuries. It aims to see if stimulation can improve key functions like movement, bladder control, and breathing/standing safety.
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.
