Brief Summary
This study is a pilot clinical trial to explore the efficacy of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (TCSCS) (proof-of-concept) in mitigating crucial autonomic dysfunctions that impact the health-related quality of life of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).
Eligibility Criteria

Chronic traumatic SCI (non-progressive, with complete motor paralysis) at or above the T6 spinal segment. 4. \>1-year post injury, at least 6 months from any spinal surgery. 5. American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) A, B. 6. Stable management of spinal cord related clinical issues (i.e., spasticity management). 7. Experience bladder, or bowel, or sexual dysfunction. 8. No painful musculoskeletal dysfunction, unhealed fracture, pressure sore, or active infection that may interfere with testing. 9. For women of childbearing potential, not intending to become pregnant, currently pregnant, or lactating. The following conditions apply: 1.
