Device for bladder control in 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 to help men with spinal cord injuries control their bladder. It may help if you have reflex bladder contractions and your injury is above the sacral level.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your spinal cord injury must be above the sacral area (in the chest or neck).
- You must be at least 12 months past your injury and your condition should be stable.
- Your bladder must have reflex contractions (meaning it tightens on its own).
- You cannot have an active infection in your bloodstream, open pressure sores on your pelvis, or a bleeding disorder.
- You cannot have a urethral injury, a long-term catheter with a very small bladder capacity, or a history of severe autonomic dysreflexia.
- You must be a man and skeletally mature (your bones have finished growing).

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 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.
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.
