Spinal cord injury bladder study pulled before it began

NCT ID NCT05968352

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study aimed to test whether high-frequency electrical stimulation could improve bladder control in people with spinal cord injury who already have a special device implanted. Researchers planned to compare high-frequency versus low-frequency stimulation in 5 to 10 participants. However, the trial was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no data or conclusions are available.

Active substance

Sacral Anterior Root Stimulation (SARS) device

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a non-surgical way to improve bladder function and reduce incontinence in people with spinal cord injury.

What could go wrong

The trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results exist. It is a very small, early-stage study, and the approach may not work or may have unknown risks.
