About this study

Official title: Can Dynamic Ultrasonography Replace Urodynamics in the Follow-up of Patients With Myelomeningocele: A Prospective Concurrent Study

Patients with neurogenic bladder need periodic evaluation with urodynamic study, a invasive and uncomfortable procedure.

Aim: To evaluate the accuracy of dynamic ultrasonography as a feasible and noninvasive alternative diagnostic method to identify detrusor overactivity in patients with neurogenic bladder

Read the detailed description

The urodynamic study and dynamic ultrasonography were performed concurrently, to identify detrusor overactivity, in patients with myelomeningocele and clinical indication for urodynamics, by investigators without verbal or visual contact.

The overactivity was diagnosed through active conformational change of the bladder during filling phase.

What participants receive

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

  • Dynamic UltrasonographyDiagnostic test

    Dynamic Ultrasonography was performed with patients in supine position, with a suprapubic sagittal position transductor, during filling phase of urodynamics.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the accuracy of dynamic ultrasonography to identify bladder overactivity in neurogenic bladder.

    Dynamic Ultrasonography evaluated the dynamic conformational change of the bladder to identify the presence of detrusor overactivity, based on a subjective graduation of contractions, compared to the urodynamic data.

    Measured: 20 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To evaluate the accuracy of dynamic ultrasonography to identify maximum cystometric capacity.

    The bladder maximum capacity was measured at the end of the filling phase, based on the ellipse formula and compared to the infused volume in urodynamics.

    Measured: 20 minutes

  2. To assess the ability of dynamic ultrasonography to estimate the pressure of detrusor contractions.

    According to the detrusor mobility and bladder deformity, the contractions were graded: 1 - no contractions; 2 - partial contraction of bladder floor; 3 - partial contraction of bladder floor and posterior wall; 4 - generalized contraction with modification of bladder shape from ellipsoid to round. These data were compared to the maximum pressure data recorded in the urodynamic study.

    Measured: 20 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dynamic Ultrasonography in people with Neurogenic Bladder and Myelomeningocele, run by Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 evaluate the accuracy of dynamic ultrasonography to identify bladder overactivity in neurogenic bladder. (time frame: 20 minutes). 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 8 Jun 2018.
