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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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.

Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week pelvic floor muscle training program is practical and helpful for people with motor-incomplete spinal cord injury. Thirty participants will do exercises five times a week. Researchers will track how many people join, stick with the program, and whether it improves bladder, bowel, and sexual function.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
pelvic floor muscle training
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to improve bladder, bowel, and sexual function for people with spinal cord injury.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 30 participants. It is designed to see if the training is practical, not to prove it works. Results may not apply to everyone.

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