Nerve stimulation for bladder control after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-invasive nerve stimulation treatment (TTNS) to help people with spinal cord injury who have bladder overactivity. It may reduce urgent urination and improve bladder control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 70 years old.
- You have a spinal cord injury.
- You have been diagnosed with overactive bladder due to nerve problems.
- You are able to undergo a urodynamic study (a test that measures bladder function).
- You do not have any implanted devices like pacemakers or deep brain stimulators.
- You have no active urinary tract infection, bladder tumor, or kidney stones.
- You have not had certain prior treatments (like PTNS, sacral neuromodulation, or botox in the bladder) within the last 6 months.

This study tests a portable nerve stimulator you can use at home to help control bladder function after a spinal cord injury. The device sends gentle pulses to a nerve in your ankle to improve bladder symptoms like urgency or leakage.
This study tests whether stimulation through the skin of the tibial nerve can help people with a new spinal cord injury. It may help improve bladder-related symptoms or nerve signaling after injury, compared with standard care.
This study tests whether stimulating a nerve in the leg (the tibial nerve) with a small device can help children with spina bifida who leak urine even when using a catheter. The treatment is non-invasive, like a tiny electrical patch near the ankle, and aims to improve bladder control.
This study tests if stimulating nerves in the lower back or ankle can help improve bladder function in people who have a recent spinal cord injury above the T11 vertebra (mid-back). It aims to find a new way to manage bladder problems without medication.
This study tests if a mild electrical stimulation on the skin near your ankle (called TTNS) can help calm an overactive bladder. It is for women who haven't had success with or can't take standard overactive bladder medicines.
This trial tests a nerve stimulation treatment (TTNS) to improve bladder symptoms like urgency or frequent urination in people with multiple sclerosis. It is a randomized controlled study comparing this approach to a control, and aims to see if it can reduce bothersome bladder issues.
