Spinal cord stimulation for bladder and bowel control after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.

This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation affects long-term recovery and daily functioning in people with stable spinal cord injury. You may be eligible if you already have an implanted, FDA-approved spinal cord stimulator and meet specific safety and timing rules.
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 if a special type of electrical stimulation on the lower back can help manage bowel function in people with a complete spinal cord injury from the T10 level or higher. It aims to make bowel care more predictable and easier.
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 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 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.
