Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial research study is to evaluate the impact of preoperative oral immunonutrition (IN) on post-operative complications in patients undergoing a cystectomy. As a secondary focus, this study will aim to develop a signature that would identify patients that would benefit the most from IN. This is a multicentric (Swiss: N=3), prospective, controlled, pragmatic, parallel-group comparative study with block randomization stratified by centers.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of sacral neuromodulation in neurogenic patients compared to non-neurogenic (idiopathic) patients. [. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - determine efficacy and safety of the therapy in neurogenic patients. - compare outcomes of the therapy to idiopathic patients. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare the outcomes of the therapy between the neurogenic and non-neurogenic subset of patients.
As part of the ongoing Clinical Evaluation and Post Market Clinical Follow Up (PMCF) activities it was determined that a pilot study should be conducted to look at how real life data such as various physiological measurements can be collected via a Smart-Watch during intermittent self-catheterisation whilst also collecting real life feedback from users on comfort as measured by levels of possible discomfort and on levels of anxiety which may be associated with intermittent catheterisation over a period of time. Adherence to catheter regimen and proper emptying of the bladder is of clinical relevance for clean intermittent catheterisation. A Daily Fluid Diary is included in this pilot study together with the use of the microphone of the Apple™ Smart Watch to investigate the feasibility of tracking input and output of fluids. The user acceptance of the Daily Fluid Diary offered via the iPhone app and the feasibility of the microphone to capture bladder emptying or voiding are to be tested within this pilot.
There is no consensus in the literature upon the neurourological diagnostic algorithm of the patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The primary aim of the study is phenotyping the patients with MS. These phenotypes might guide Neurology and Urology specialists during diagnosis and treatment. Secondary aim of this study is to define the presence and severity of urological symptoms' and disorders', involving the patients with diagnosis of MS less than 5 years into a urological follow-up and treatment process. Our study might include 4 visits (the first visit, 3rd month, 6th month and 12th month visit). Questionnaires, uroflowmetry and bladder diary might be repeated on each visit. Filling cystometry and pressure-flow study will be performed only on the first visit. All patients will receive 6 different questionnaires which aim to define the severity and presence of lower urinary tract symptoms. Bladder diary is an online application which will represent at least 3 days of frequency, urgency, incontinence episodes and the amount of fluid intake, and urination. The phenotypes would be defined after performing the first visit diagnostic tools (all of the tools are necessary during the diagnostic algorithm of neurogenic lower urinary tract symptoms). The phenotypes will be defined as: a. no symptoms with normal urodynamics, b. Lower urinary tract symptoms with normal urodynamics, c. no symptoms with abnormal urodynamics, d.lower urinary tract symptoms with abnormal urodynamics. During a follow-up period of 1 year, changes in the bladder diaries and scores in questionnaires of these groups will be compared on each visit.
The purpose of the study is to develop a comprehensive program to increase early initiation of self-catheterization in children with Spina Bifida. This will be a prospective open label randomized control trial. Patients and caregivers/guardians in the intervention arm will be enrolled in a comprehensive program that utilizes behavioral economic theory to incentivize initiation of independent CIC. The study population will be patients aged 4 to 12 years old with diagnosis of spina bifida, including meningocele and myelomeningocele, as defined by International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (ICD10). This study will look at behavioral interventions. There are no additional physical risks to participation in the study. Patient demographics will be reported using descriptive statistics. Study team will use Kaplan-Meier curves to demonstrate and compare the probability of achieving independent CIC over time between the study arms.
Following spinal cord injury signals between the brain and the bladder are disrupted. As a result the bladder often becomes overactive which can lead to the need for frequent trips to the toilet, regular incontinence episodes and a decreased quality-of-life. Neuromodulation is a therapy that aims to target the nerves that become overactive controlling the bladder, stopping the bladder overactivity on demand using an external (non-invasive) nerve stimulation box and sticker electrodes placed on the penis or clitoris. This study is a pilot study that aims to investigate neuromodulation for improving symptoms of bladder overactivity when used by 10 people over eight weeks at home. We will assess whether using the device improves bladder capacity, incontinence, frequency of needing the toilet and whether there are any longer lasting changes after 8 weeks. Finally, the study will aim to find out the acceptability of using this type of therapy for participants and the acceptability of the device we are using. Participants in this trial will participate over 13 weeks and need to visit our centre in Stanmore to have urodynamics tests in the 1st, 9th and 13th week. At home they will use a small stimulation device on a daily basis for 8 weeks to control overactivity in the bladder. Whilst at home they will record relevant outcomes in several three-day diaries and questionnaires. They will record baseline data before starting stimulation and for 4 weeks after.
This study is designed to assess the efficacy of educational materials in parents of children with neurogenic bladder considering surgical reconstruction. Focus groups were conducted with neurogenic bladder patients and their families in which participants were asked questions about expectations, fears, medical understanding, unexpected challenges, and persistent questions regarding reconstructive surgery for neurogenic bladder. Analysis of this qualitative data was used to create educational materials (such as animated videos) and decision-making tools for families of children with neurogenic bladders who are trying to decide what treatment option is right for them, and to better prepare them for what lies ahead. This study specifically aims to investigate the effect of an educational video on participants' knowledge of neurogenic bladder and surgical management.
This phase 0 trial tests the feasibility, functionality, and sustainability of vascularized composite bladder allograft transplantation in treating patients with terminal bladder pathology. A vascularized bladder allograft transplantation may provide a more durable and better-tolerated alternative to standard urinary diversion, which employs bowel. A robotic surgical approach will be employed.
There are many studies in the literature on healthy children with lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD), but there are limited number of studies in children with cerebral palsy (CP) with LUTD. This study aim to contribute to the literature by examining the effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and abdominal massage in the treatment of children with CP with LUTD and comparing the superiority of the two treatment methods to each other.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of SCONE neuromodulation therapy after 12 weeks of therapy in comparison to inactive sham control in improving symptoms of Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction
