Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation With Bladder and Pelvic Floor Muscle Training

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2022
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) disrupts signals between the brain and the rest of the body, this includes signals needed to control the bladder and bowels. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) (electrical stimulation through electrodes placed on the skin over the spine) has shown potential to improve bladder function. Additionally pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), has been shown to help control bladder overactivity and reduce incontinence in people with a SCI. This study will investigate PFMT with SCS, and its effects on restoring bladder function, and continence. We aim to recruit 25 participants. Those eligible will be patients from the London Spinal Cord Injury Centre with a supra-sacral SCI (\>6 months post-injury), aged 16 years old and above.
