Device for Bladder Control for Men With SCI (NCT07668063)

Noninvasive Electrical Stimulation Device to Improve Bladder Control for Men With Spinal Core Injury

๐ŸŸก Not Yet Recruiting Phase1 / Phase2 โš™๏ธ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: VA Office of Research and Development

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Urinary incontinence, bladder frequency, and bladder urgency are significant medical problems for people with overactive bladder (OAB) or neurogenic bladder overactivity (NDO). Affected individuals typically experience reflex bladder contractions in response to bladder filling at low volumes, resulting in urinary incontinence and decreased bladder capacity. This project will advance a new device for administering noninvasive electrical stimulation in order to improve bladder control.
