About this study

Official title: A Randomised Study of Cystoscopy and Cystodistension Versus Cystoscopy Alone in Women With Overactive Bladder Syndrome.

This is an ethically approved randomised controlled study looking at whether Cystodistension(filling the bladder with fluid under pressure) provides any benefit over cystoscopy alone (looking in the bladder) in women with refractory overactive bladder. Urine samples will also be assessed for underlying infected cause of OAB using urinalysis, microscopy and culture and cytokine assays (In collaboration with the University of Kent). We hypothesize that Cystodistension has a therapeutic benefit to women with refractory OAB and the there is an increase prevalence in chronic urinary infections with raised cytokines in women with refractory OAB.

Read the detailed description

We aim to measure outcomes initially, 6 weels and 6months follow-up.

  1. Resolution measured by Urgency Perception Scale (UPS). Resolution of urgency will be assessed with the UPS. The numbers of women with a Level 3 UPS score (hold and finish task) will be compared using Chi square test in patients treated with cystodistension vs non cystodistension arms.
  2. Change in quality of life status determined by quality of life questionnaires will ismilarly be comapred between the 2 arms of the study.
  3. Change in urinary symptoms defined by Patient's Perception of Intensity Scale. Change in uregncy scores will be compared between the 2 arms of the study.

Secondary Outcome Measure:1. Prevalence of chronic urinary infection and organisms in patients with refractory OAB 2. To identify whether urinary cytokines are present in a higher proportion of patients with OAB.

Inclusion Criteria

  1. Women with only OAB symptoms
  2. Women who have failed bladder drill and anticholinergic agents

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cystodistension & Cystoscopy in people with Urinary Incontinence, Urge, run by Medway NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

To assess the presence of urgency and urge incontinence initially, 6 weeks and 6 months (time frame: 12-18months). 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.
