More info on epidural stimulation.

New UCLA research may go a long way toward solving the problem. A team of scientists studied 10 paralyzed rats that were trained daily for six weeks with epidural stimulation of the spinal cord and five rats that were untrained and did not receive the stimulation. They found that training and epidural stimulation enabled the rats to empty their bladders more fully and in a timelier manner.

Will take few years again. Except US no epidural trial or therapy anywhere in else countries.

jawaid they've tested on a few people and found great results! I also hope they finish the testing process soon and start making it available to the public. I think they will release it to other countries as soon as the testing stage is over.

I included the PLOS scientific article on the blog and forgot to post it here in case someone wanted additional information on it. Sorry I'm late!
