Device for Bladder Control for Men With SCI
Sponsor: VA Office of Research and Development
Summary
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.

Noninvasive electrical stimulation device to improve bladder control
Genital nerve stimulation (GNS) will be applied using a wearable, transcutaneous neurostimulator and sleeve electrode that targets the genital nerve reflex pathway for the treatment of neurogenic bladder associated with spinal cord injury.
