This trial is enrolling individuals with spinal cord injury with a previously implanted bladder stimulation device, to test the effect of new stimulation settings. Sacral anterior root stimulation (SARS) is a technique to stimulate the spinal nerves that connect to the bladder. Researchers want to see if the stimulation relaxes sphincter reflexes to promote bladder emptying without a catheter. They also want to know if the new stimulation settings can help achieve bladder emptying without having to cut nerves. If included, participants will have new stimulation settings programmed for their previously implanted device. Final testing will be performed within 1 day.
