SPARC Bladder Mapping and Training Study

About this trial

This trial is recruiting individuals with spinal cord injuries who already have an implanted epidural spinal cord stimulation device to test its effect on bladder function. The effect of bladder stimulation is not yet known; the initial use of spinal cord stimulation was directed towards walking function. This study will map epidural stimulation configurations (anode/cathode selection, amplitude, frequency and pulse width) at the lumbosacral (lower back) level. If selected for the trial, participants will have their existing device tuned to stimulate the bladder. Researchers want to see if this increases bladder storage (capacity) and improves bladder emptying (voiding efficiency).
