Summary

This early-phase trial tests a wearable device that delivers mild electrical stimulation to a nerve near the genitals, aiming to improve bladder control in men with spinal cord injury. The study will enroll 12 participants and measure changes in bladder capacity and device usability. If successful, it could lead to a noninvasive, drug-free way to manage incontinence and urgency.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
noninvasive electrical stimulation device (genital nerve stimulator)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a drug-free, wearable option to help men with spinal cord injury gain better bladder control and reduce accidents.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early-phase trial with only 12 participants, so results may not apply widely. The device may not work for everyone, and skin irritation or discomfort is possible.
