Shocking discovery: nerve zaps may prevent bladder damage after spinal injury
NCT ID NCT07343583
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of nerves in the leg or lower back can prevent the bladder from becoming overactive after a spinal cord injury. Researchers will compare two types of nerve stimulation against standard care in 45 adults who had a spinal injury within the last 6 months. The goal is to see if early use of these non-invasive treatments can protect bladder function and reduce the risk of kidney damage.
