What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

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.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 12 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Apr 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jun 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * At least 19 years of age * Have a SCI between C7 - T10 that occurred at least 12 months previously * Have a motor-complete or incomplete SCI (AIS A, B, C, or D) * Have symptoms of neurogenic LUT dysfunction * Meet the manufacture requirements for standing frame use (will be evaluated by the research team) * Are able to speak and understand English. Exclusion Criteria: * Have changed their bladder management program in the past month * Have received an injection of Botulinum toxin-A in any LUT structure in the past 2 weeks, or intend to receive an injection while participating in the trial * Have a non-stable SCI (e.g. spinal tumor) * Have signs of a lower motoneuron injury (e.g. cauda equina syndrome) * Have other neurological injury besides SCI * Have an implanted metallic or electronic device (e.g. pace maker, nerve stimulator) * Have a condition for which exercise or transcutaneous stimulation is contraindicated * Have a severe acute medical issue that in the investigator's judgement would adversely affect the participant's participation in the study. Examples include, but are not limited to acute urinary tract infections, pressure sores, musculoskeletal injury, or unmanage blood pressure. * Are currently pregnant or have given birth within the past 12 months * Use walking as your primary means of movement around your home and the community.
