Summary

This research study is being conducted to help explore the effects of non-invasive (non-surgical) spinal cord stimulation via sticky electrodes over the skin (transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation; TCSCS) on bowel, bladder and sexual function following spinal cord injury. Our primary aim is to determine the specific location and timing of TCSCS at various spinal cord levels in order to target bladder and bowel control (Study 1 and 2), and to assess the safety and effectiveness of TCSCS during bladder and bowel function assessments (Study 2 only). Participants may choose to participate in either Study 1 or 2.
