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 However, the trial was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no data or conclusions are available.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

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What could go wrong: The trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results exist.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.
