NCT ID NCT04565925

Summary

This study is testing whether sildenafil, the drug commonly known as Viagra, can help reduce urine leakage in adults with spinal cord injuries. Researchers will enroll 24 participants to take either sildenafil or a placebo pill for four weeks each, tracking how many leakage episodes they have and how it affects their quality of life. The goal is to see if this well-known medication can offer a new way to manage a common and distressing problem for this patient group.
