This study is exploring if a treatment called genital nerve stimulation (GNS) can help people with spinal cord injuries (SCI) manage their bowel function. GNS uses a device with small pads placed on the skin near the genitals to deliver electrical stimulation. Researchers want to see if this daily at-home treatment can reduce bowel accidents. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have a spinal cord injury, and meet other specific health criteria. The main goal is to see if using GNS every day for 6 weeks is practical and safe.
