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. Neurourol. Urodynam. 35:365–370, 2016 . © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
