Table 1_Spinal cord stimulation to manage autonomic dysfunction after spinal cord injury:

A systematic review synthesizing evidence from 57 articles on the use of spinal cord stimulation to manage autonomic dysfunction following spinal cord injury. The review, authored by Pratham Upadhyay and last updated in June 2026, evaluates interventions including epidural, transcutaneous, and sacral root stimulation across cardiovascular, bladder, bowel, and sexual function domains. It includes data from 1,448 total participants across the reviewed studies.

Use Cases

• Summarizing clinical evidence for spinal cord stimulation efficacy based on the synthesis of 57 articles.
• Comparing outcomes across autonomic domains (cardiovascular, bladder, bowel, sexual) as described in the review.
• Analyzing the application of different stimulation types (eSCS, tSCS, SARS) and durations (acute vs. chronic) mentioned in the results.

Strengths

• Systematic methodology with a search across three major databases (OVID Medline, OVID Embase, Web of Science).
• Synthesizes data from 57 articles involving 1,448 total participants.
• Structured analysis by autonomic domain, intervention type, and stimulation duration.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 41.1 KB DOCX document, indicating a limited scope of raw data.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Evidence is based on small cohort or case studies, as noted in the review's conclusion.
