About this study

Official title: Bladder Outlet Obstruction Observation Using Dynamic Urine Vibration "Holter" With Correlation to Pressure Flow Study and Uroflowmetry.

Current gold standard of bladder outlet diagnosis is pressure flow study. This study is invasive time consuming and requires expensive and complex set-up. In this study the investigators plan to evaluate an alternative technology that presumably is able to diagnose bladder outlet obstruction using a Dynamic Urine Vibration "Holter" based on a Urine Flow Vibration Analysis technology. The acoustic vibration sensor is a small device that records the vibration due to urine flow. The patient attaches the sensor to the penis using a disposable sensor patch for the duration of approximately one minute during one urination. The analysis is performed off-line and the results are compared to the results of a standard pressure flow study and to the standard free flowmetry test. The innovative technology for the diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction is noninvasive, rapid and does not involve complex setup.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Dynamic Urine Vibration "Holter"Device

    each subject will undergo intervention for the diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction first using the Dynamic Urine Vibration "Holter" and then urodynamically by pressure flow study

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Efficacy of Holter to confirm or exclude of bladder outlet obstruction

    Measured: One recording at the time of urodynamic testing. (approximatly one minute)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Efficacy of Holter to supply the free flowmetry test curve & values.

    Measured: One recording at the time of urodynamic testing. (approximatly one minute)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dynamic Urine Vibration "Holter" in people with Bladder Outlet Obstruction, run by P. Square Medical Ltd at 2 sites in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Efficacy of Holter to confirm or exclude of bladder outlet obstruction (time frame: One recording at the time of urodynamic testing. (approximatly one minute)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Oct 2014.
