This trial is enrolling 40 male individuals with chronic thoracic spinal cord injury to test the effect of magnetic spinal cord stimulation (MSCS) on bladder function. If included, participants will undergo 16 weeks of either: 1) MSCS once per week in combination with pelvic floor exercises; or 2) only pelvic floor exercises without MSCS. Participants will receive urodynamic testing once every four weeks during the treatment phase. Testing of bladder function (pressure, volume, etc.) will be performed after 8 weeks and after the 16 week treatment period.
