Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of urinary tract infection after urodynamic investigation and to identify the involved germs.
The primary aim of this study was to determine if using the SpeediCath hydrophilic catheter would reduce the incidence of symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTI)in children with spina bifida who perform clean intermittent catheterization for bladder management. The hypothesis was that the incidence of symptomatic urinary tract infections would be significantly reduced (by 25%) in users of the SpeediCath hydrophilic catheter when compared to users of a reused polyvinyl chloride (PVC) catheter. Subjects were randomly assigned to either starting the study with PVC catheter for 6 months followed by the hydrophilic catheter for 6 months or visa versa. Each subject kept a weekly diary recording urinary tract infections symptoms, hematuria determined by urine dipstick, physician visits, days of missed school and other activities. At the end of each 6 months subjects completed a questionnaire recording their comfort and satisfaction in using the PVC or hydrophilic coated catheter. 70 subjects were randomized and 46 had complete data. There were no differences in febrile UTI, antibiotic use, healthcare visits or school days missed. The incidence of self reported UTI was lower in the PVC group than the hydrophilic group. 40% of subjects indicated that the hydrophilic coated catheter was slippery and difficult to handle compared to 10% for the PVC catheter. However overall satisfaction was no different between products. The study results are consistent with the current Cochrane Review that there is a lack of evidence to state that the incidence of UTI is affected by multiuse or hydrophilic catheter use.
Because the bladder neck and proximal urethra contain abundant α1-adrenergic receptors, α-blockers or α1-blockers are well-known to reduce bladder neck obstruction in patients with or without neurogenic bladder. α1-blockers seem to have a potential to reduce bladder outlet resistance during voiding in patients with neurogenic bladder. Based on these turnouts, we designed this clinical study to evaluate the clinical effect and safety of silodosin on voiding dysfunction associated with neurogenic bladder.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Oxybutynin Chloride 10% Topical Gel in children 3 to less than 17 years old, who have overactive bladder due to a neurogenic condition. Children will be treated with 0.75 g of gel/day for two weeks. Patients will then return to the clinic for a potential dose titration. At this time their dose may be adjusted up to 1g/day, down to 0.5g/day, or remain the same at 0.75g of gel/day depending on the individual response and tolerability. The total treatment time is 14 weeks and total time on the study is 16 weeks.
Learning to self-manage urine flow may help people prevent or minimize persistent complications from long-term indwelling urethral or suprapubic catheters.
Aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a range of doses of tamsulosin hydrochloride as treatment in children with an elevated detrusor leak point pressure associated with a known neurological deficit
The specific objective of this clinical trial is to demonstrate that a multifaceted approach for treatment for catheter-related urinary tract infection (UTI) in patients with spinal cord injury is effective and feasible. We plan to test the following hypothesis: a multifaceted treatment approach that consists of immediate removal of the indwelling bladder catheter, selecting antibiotics based on the finding from a urine culture that is obtained through the newly inserted catheter, and a 5-day course of systemic antibiotics will effectively treat catheter-related infection that is limited to the lower urinary tract of patients with spinal cord injury.
The primary objective is to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of 2 doses of alfuzosin (given as a solution or tablets depending on age) in children and adolescents 2 to 16 years of age with elevated detrusor Leak Point Pressure (LPP) (≥40 cm H2O) of neuropathic etiology stratified into 2 age groups (2 to 7 years and 8 to 16 years). The secondary objectives are to investigate the safety and tolerability of the 2 dose regimens and to determine the effect of the 2 dose regimens on detrusor LPP.
A clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of solifenacin in patients with bladder symptoms due to spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis
The purpose of this proposal is clinical validation of an electrochemical biochip for rapid pathogen identification and antibiotic susceptibility determination.
