NCT ID NCT07619300
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study will test whether temporarily stimulating nerves in the lower spine can improve movement and bladder function in one person with a spinal cord injury. The participant will have small electrodes placed near the spinal nerves and undergo 10 days of rehabilitation sessions while receiving stimulation. The goal is to measure changes in muscle activity and functional outcomes, not to provide a permanent treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Abbot Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurostimulator (device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a way to improve motor function and bladder control after spinal cord injury.
What could go wrong
This is a very early pilot study with only one participant, so results may not apply to others. The stimulation is temporary, and the main goal is to gather data, not to provide a proven treatment.
