GentleCath Air (Urinary Self-catheterization) - Pain in Female Patients With Neurological Vesico-sphincter Disorders — FollowAir  

Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trial

Official title:
Multicentric Observational Study of Pain When Using the GentleCath™ Air Catheter in Female Patients Followed at Home With Neurological Vesico-sphincter Disorders With Urinary Self-catheterization as a Bladder Emptying Method

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the rate of occurrence of urethral pain in female patients with neurological vesico-sphincter disorders whilst performing self-catheterization using GentleCath™ Air catheters.

Clinical Trial Description

Intermittent catheterisation involves the insertion and removal of a hollow flexible tube called a catheter to drain urine from the bladder. Intermittent catheterisation allows the individual to empty their bladder without the need for a long term indwelling catheter and can be implemented for people who have difficulty emptying their bladder due to neurogenic disorders. One of the complaints of female patients performing intermittent self-catheterization for neurological bladder is the occurrence of urethral pain on insertion or removal of the catheter, in particular in patients retaining sensitivity at this level. The GentleCath™ Air catheter was designed to improve its tolerance and in particular to reduce the risk of pain. However, no studies have addressed this in real life. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the rate of occurrence of urethral pain when using GentleCath™ Air catheters as a bladder emptying method. In this multicentre observational study each subject will participate for 90 days. Women under the care of the participating investigator and receiving their first prescription of GentleCath Air catheter for urinary dysfunction due to neurological disorders will be approached for potential participation in the study. The primary outcome will be the pain assessment score measured on a VAS (Visual Analog Scale) during insertion and removal of the GentleCath™ Air catheter in naive female patients with confirmed neurological pathway on D1, D3, D7, D14, D21, D28, D35, D45 and D90. The secondary outcomes will be to assess the patients' satisfaction of self-catheterization (based on InCaSaQ score) at D45 and D90, to describe patient compliance on D45 and D90, to measure the post-voiding residue on inclusion on D45 and D90, to assess compliance with the self-catheterization throughout study duration, to describe the tolerance of the GentleCath™ Air catheter throughout study duration and to measure the overall satisfaction on Gentle Cath Air on D90. ;
