Clinical Trial Summary

Severe traumatic brain injury (TCI), defined by an initial GCS of ≤ 8 and/or admitted to a neurosurgical intensive care unit, are responsible for diffuse brain lesions that can lead to multiple deficits, including impairment of sphincter functions: bladder, rectal and sexual. Bladder-sphincter disorders are very common after a TBI. Urinary incontinence predominates, with a prevalence varying from 50 to 100% in the acute period following a TBI. The variability of the clinical data is explained by the heterogeneity of the populations studied (severity of TBI, duration of coma, time to care) and the tools used to objectify sphincter disorders. The interest of this study is to make an evaluation and a prospective follow-up of sphincter disorders in this population during one year.


Clinical Trial Description

A first visit, planned as part of the care, within 3 months of TBI with a clinical examination and 8 to 11 questionnaires, depending on your sex and your transit, to assess cognitive functions, the sphincter sphere, the autonomy and mood achieved as part of your usual care. These questionnaires will be taken with the doctor during consultation, As part of the research, patient will be asked to additionally answer the sexuality questionnaire consisting of 23 questions. The same visit will be carried out at 6 months and at 1 year, also planned as part of the usual care. If beyond 6 months vesico-sphincter complaints persist, a urodynamic examination will be realised in order to compare subjective complaints with a urodynamic examination (flowmeter, cystomanometry with +/- pressure / flow rate curve, sphincterometry). This is a single-center research. The patients will be included in the neurosurgical intensive care unit of the Pitié Salpêtrière hospital and will be followed in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation unit of the same hospital. ;
