Abstract
AIMS: In this review, we focus on the current attempts of electrical nerve stimulation for micturition in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. METHODS: A literature search was performed through PubMed using "spinal cord injury," "electrical nerve stimulation AND bladder," "sacral anterior root stimulation/stimulator" and "Brindley stimulator" from January 1975 to January 2014. RESULTS: Twenty studies were selected for this review. CONCLUSION: Electrical nerve stimulation is a clinical option for promoting micturition in SCI patients. Well-designed, randomized and controlled studies are essential for further investigation.
