Bladder control device for men with spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a device that might help men with spinal cord injuries control their bladders. The device works by using the body's own reflexes to empty the bladder, which could reduce the need for catheters.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a spinal cord injury at a level above the sacrum (the lowest part of the spine).
- Your spinal cord injury must be stable and at least 12 months old.
- You must be an adult who has finished growing (skeletally mature).
- Your bladder must still have reflex contractions (spasms) that can be detected.
- You must not have open pressure sores near your pelvis, a bleeding disorder, serious urethral damage, or frequent severe autonomic dysreflexia.

This trial compares two ways of doing a nerve test to see if a small device can help you control your bladder better. The device is implanted near your lower spine and sends mild pulses to help your bladder hold more urine and empty better.
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 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 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 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.
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.
