Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators goal is to create a better understanding of patient reported outcomes for bladder management strategies (clean intermittent catheterization (CIC), indwelling catheter (IDC) and bladder surgery.

Description:

Our study is a longitudinal observational study between bladder management strategies, comparing outcomes measured by patient reported questionnaires.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Neurogenic Bladder Symptom Score (NBSS): comparing change in: CIC, IDC, Voiding, and Surgery	The NBSS quantifies bladder symptoms	Baseline and 1 year longitudinal follow up
Primary	The Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life Measurement System Bladder Management Difficulties (SCI-QOL Difficulties): comparing change in: CIC, IDC, Voiding, and Surgery	The SCI-QoL Difficulties assesses feelings and psychosocial impact of bladder symptoms	Baseline and 1 year longitudinal follow up
Primary	The Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life Measurement System Bladder Complications (SCI-QOL Complications): comparing change in: CIC, IDC, Voiding, and Surgery	The SCI-QoL Complications assesses degree of bladder complications their psychosocial impact	Baseline and 1 year longitudinal follow up
Secondary	NBSS Incontinence subdomain	The Incontinence subdomain measures degree of incontinence	Baseline and 1 year longitudinal follow up
Secondary	NBSS Storage and Voiding subdomain	The Storage and Voiding subdomain measures symptoms related to frequency and emptying of the bladder	Baseline and 1 year longitudinal follow up
Secondary	NBSS Consequences subdomain	The Consequences subdomain measures bladder related complications	Baseline and 1 year longitudinal follow up
Secondary	NBSS QoL Satisfaction	The final question of the NBSS assesses overall satisfaction with the urinary system	Baseline and 1 year longitudinal follow up
