Clinical Trial: Acute Genital Nerve Stimulation for Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction in Individuals Living With Spinal Cord Injury
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Fecal Incontinence
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Short-term Genital Nerve Stimulation to Modulate Anorectal Reflex Activity in Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction in Individuals Living With Spinal Cord Injury
Brief Summary:
Bowel issues occur in nearly all people after spinal cord injury (SCI) and one major complication is fecal incontinence (accidents).This complication has been repeatedly highlighted by people living with SCI as particularly life-limiting and in need of more options for interventions.This study will test the effect of genital nerve stimulation (GNS), with non-invasive electrodes, on the activity of the anus and rectum of persons after SCI.Recording anorectal manometry (ARM) endpoints tells us the function of those…
