Sacral nerve test stimulation for neurogenic bladder
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares how well sacral nerve stimulation works on each side of the body for people with neurogenic bladder (bladder problems from nerve damage). The goal is to see if testing one side first can predict success for the other side.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 16 years old
- You have nerve damage below the B level that causes a neurogenic bladder
- You have an overactive bladder or a bladder that does not stretch enough (low compliance)
- You can do clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) yourself or have a nurse who can do it for you
- Your health is stable enough to be treated outside the hospital
- You agree to join the study and sign a consent form

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a spinal cord stimulator to help improve bladder and pelvic function in people with a spinal cord injury. You would use a small device placed near the spine that sends electrical pulses to help control your bladder better.
This trial tests if sacral nerve modulation can improve bladder and bowel control in people with spinal cord injury. Patients receive a temporary stimulator first, and if it helps, they may get a permanent implant.
This study tests whether a “triggered” nerve stimulation therapy can help people with nerve-related bladder problems hold urine better and empty their bladder more comfortably. It mainly looks at whether the approach is safe and workable for patients.
This trial studies whether sacral neuromodulation (a device that sends mild nerve signals) can improve bladder, bowel, and sexual symptoms caused by nerve problems. It is for people whose current bladder treatments have not worked well enough.
This trial is for people with overactive bladder who are already scheduled to receive a nerve stimulator implant (sacral neuromodulation). The study will measure how your body's automatic nervous system responds when the device is turned on, which may help doctors understand how the treatment works.
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.
