Trial Outcomes & Findings for Non-invasive Nerve Stimulation for Inhibition of Bladder Incontinence in Spinal Cord Injured Subjects. (NCT NCT03877432)

NCT ID: NCT03877432

Last Updated: 2021-01-20

Results Overview

Investigator will verify that S2-S4 dermatome nerve stimulation is acutely effective at reducing hyper-reflexic bladder activity during bladder filling in urodynamic measurement. All experimental trials will be completed in one day for each subject. Serial cystometrograms will be conducted by filling the bladder with saline and recording the volume in the bladder with or without concomitant nerve stimulation. A total of 8 serial cystometrograms will be performed: 2 control fills, followed by 4 fills with stimulation, followed by 2 control fills. Stimulation threshold will be randomly given (1-4 folds of stimulation threshold). Data from each of 4 stimulation fills per threshold or a total of 4 control fills were averaged. The averaged values are presented per Arm/Group below. The interval between every fill is 20-40 min. Investigator will compare the difference of bladder capacity (mL) between giving-control fill and fill with stimulation through statistical analysis.

Measure
Dermatome Stimulation
Check the effect of improving the function of bladder storage and bladder capacity before and after dermatome stimulation. Dermatome stimulation: Dermatome (S2-S4) stimulation is aimed at improving the function of bladder storage and bladder capacity. A total of 8 serial cystometrograms will be performed: 2 control fills, followed by 4 fills with stimulation, followed by 2 control fills. The minimum (or threshold) stimulation amplitude (T) necessary to elicit the genito-anal reflex was first determined for each subject. Subsequently, each subject received a randomized sequence of cystometric fill trials with and without continuous dermatome stimulation. The dermatome stimulation was randomly stimulated at stimulation amplitudes of 1, 2, 3, and 4 T.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: The outcome measure will be assessed in day 1.

Investigator will verify that S2-S4 dermatome nerve stimulation is acutely effective at reducing hyper-reflexic bladder activity during bladder filling in urodynamic measurement. All experimental trials will be completed in one day for each subject. Serial cystometrograms will be conducted by filling the bladder with saline and recording the pressure in the bladder with or without concomitant nerve stimulation. A total of 8 serial cystometrograms will be performed: 2 control fills, followed by 4 fills with stimulation, followed by 2 control fills. Stimulation threshold will be randomly given (1-4 folds of stimulation threshold). The interval between every fill is 20-40 min. Investigator will compare the difference of bladder capacity (mL) between giving-control fill and fill with stimulation through statistical analysis.
