NCT ID NCT07429305
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small study tests whether combining standing therapy with mild electrical stimulation of a nerve in the leg can improve pelvic floor muscle function in adults with chronic spinal cord injury. Twelve participants will undergo 12 weeks of treatment, three times per week. Researchers will measure reflex responses and ask about bladder symptoms and quality of life before and after the program.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
tibial nerve stimulation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new therapy to improve bladder and pelvic floor function after spinal cord injury.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 12 participants, so results may not apply widely. The intervention is non-invasive and low-risk, but benefits are uncertain.
