Clinical Trial Summary

a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled study will be conducted to investigate whether hyoscine-n-butylbromide has preventive effects on early postoperative CRBD in patients with urinary catheters who will undergo elective cesarean sections.


Clinical Trial Description

The insertion of a urinary catheter in a patient undergoing a surgical procedure as cesarean section may lead to catheter-related bladder discomfort with varying degrees of severity during the postoperative period. Catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) symptoms associated with an indwelling urinary catheter are similar to overactive bladder symptoms such as discomfort in the suprapubic region, urinary urgency, frequency, burning sensation with or without urge incontinence. Hyoscine N-butyl bromide also known as scopolamine is a drug with anticholinergic effects which exerts its effects by inhibiting the acetylcholine effects in parasympathetic receptors of smooth muscle cells, secretory glands, and central nervous system. Hyoscine-n-butylbromide was reported to be effective for treatment of CRBD. More preventive than therapeutic drugs for CRBD should be investigated to improve patient comfort in all surgery patients with a urinary catheter. A prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled study will be conducted to investigate whether hyoscine-n-butylbromide has preventive effects on early postoperative CRBD in patients with urinary catheters who will undergo elective cesarean sections. ;
