About this study

Urodynamic examination evaluates storage and empting phases of the urinary bladder. It enables the clinician to correlate physiologic findings to patients' complains. The data gathered during the examination divided to storage and empting.

During the storage phase, bladder sensation is measured while the bladder is filled with sterile water. During years of practice, we noticed that early sensation (bladder over-sensitivity) is occasionally associated with bladder outlet obstruction (as demonstrated in the emptying phase of the examination.

Read the detailed description

The study includes patients who were referred to Urodynamics examination due to lower urinary tract symptoms. There is no actual intervention during the examination. Though, patients are asked to fill an International prostate symptom score (IPSS-questionnaires).

What participants receive

  • IPSS questionnaireOther

    Also called International Prostate Symptoms Score

    IPSS is an 8 question (7 symptom questions + 1 quality of life question) written screening tool used to screen for, rapidly diagnose, track the symptoms of, and suggest management of patients with lower urinary tract symptoms. It was validated for both genders.

What is being measured

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

  1. Early sensation during the filling phase

    Bladder oversensitivity (early sensation), a diagnosis made by symptoms and urodynamic investigations. Defined as an increased perceived bladder sensation during bladder filling with specific cystometric findings of: (i) an early first desire to void; (ii) an early strong desire to void, which occurs at low bladder volume; (iii) a low maximum cystometric bladder capacity; no abnormal increases in detrusor pressure.

    Measured: During the urodynamic examination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Overactive Bladder Syndrome and Bladder Outlet Obstruction, run by Assaf-Harofeh Medical Center at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Contact Guy Verhovsky, MD (972-8-9779409, guy.verchovsky@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Early sensation during the filling phase (time frame: During the urodynamic examination). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03486639, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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?
