Clinical Trial: Ambulatory Closed-loop Stimulation for Bladder Control
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Urinary Bladder, Neurogenic
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Ambulatory Closed-loop Stimulation to Inhibit Neurogenic Bladder Over-activity
Brief Summary:
Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) develop neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO), resulting in urinary incontinence, decreased bladder capacity, and reduced quality of life.Current treatments incompletely address the problem and have unwanted side effects.Therefore, an alternative approach is needed.Electrical stimulation of the genital nerves (GNS) can inhibit NDO, improving bladder capacity and urinary continence.However, an automated closed-loop bladder feedback system, which currently does not exist,…
