Predicting bladder issues after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether leg muscle tightness can help predict bladder overactivity in people with spinal cord injury. If you have had a spinal cord injury that is above the sacral level, you may qualify to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a spinal cord injury confirmed by CT or MRI scan.
- Your injury is at or above the sacral level (the lower part of the spine).
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have complete medical records including a neurological exam and a bladder function test (urodynamic study).

This study tests whether pelvic floor muscle exercises—done while you're in inpatient rehabilitation—can help improve bladder control and urinary function after spinal cord injury. The goal is to see if this type of training is practical and helpful during your hospital stay.
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 if a balloon dilation procedure in the urethra can help people with spinal cord injury empty their bladder naturally. It looks at whether the treatment reduces the need for catheters.
This trial tests whether using mild electrical pulses on the spinal cord can help people with spinal cord injuries regain better control of their bladder. It might be an option if you've tried other treatments without success.
This study tests whether pelvic floor muscle exercises can improve bladder, bowel, and sexual function in people with a spinal cord injury. If you have ongoing symptoms in these areas and a stable health routine, this trial may help you learn ways to strengthen those muscles.
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.
