Data Sheet 1_Spinal cord stimulation to manage autonomic dysfunction after spinal cord inj

A systematic review of 57 articles evaluating spinal cord stimulation for autonomic dysfunction after spinal cord injury, published on figshare in June 2026. The review synthesizes evidence from studies on cardiovascular, bladder, bowel, and sexual function outcomes. It was authored by Pratham Upadhyay and is licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Use Cases

• Summarizing clinical evidence for spinal cord stimulation based on the review's synthesis of 57 articles.
• Comparing intervention efficacy across autonomic domains (cardiovascular, bladder, bowel, sexual) based on the described results.
• Analyzing stimulation parameters and outcomes based on the mention of lumbosacral segments and frequency ranges.
• Identifying research gaps for future controlled studies based on the conclusion's call for larger trials.

Strengths

• Structured synthesis of evidence from 57 identified articles.
• Clear categorization by autonomic domain (cardiovascular, urinary, bowel, sexual) and intervention type (eSCS, tSCS, SARS).
• Includes participant counts for each intervention type, such as 151 participants for eSCS studies.

Limitations

• The primary data file is a 242.3 KB DOCX document; the underlying extracted data tables are not provided separately.
• Row count and column-level documentation for any extracted data are unknown.
• Evidence is based on small cohort or case studies, as noted in the conclusion.
