Trial summary

Urinary disorders (UD) are common in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and can necessitate using Intermittent Self Catheterisation (ISC). It is well experienced by patients, has little impact on daily life and improves quality of life. Read more about this study

About this study

Urinary disorders (UD) are common in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and can necessitate using Intermittent Self Catheterisation (ISC). It is well experienced by patients, has little impact on daily life and improves quality of life. However, studies are lacking on long-term adherence to this treatment as well as on discontinuation factors. Our main objective is to prospectively assessed factors associated with ISC discontinuation 2 years after having introduced this technique.

Read the detailed description

Urinary disorders (UD) are common in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). About 65% of patients suffering from moderate to severe troubles. In case of voiding dysfunction, the reference treatment is based on intermittent self catheterisation (ISC). UD in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients have been widely studied. They are very common, and are life-threatening in the absence of appropriate care. Management of neurological UD (as those occurring in MS) are well defined. ISC is the gold standard of bladder emptying method in this pathological context, and has been the subject of numerous studies. In SCI, the ISC discontinuation rate varies from 52 to 80% according to the published studies, the main factors of continuation being the autonomy to perform the technique, and the continence rate. However, the results are variable. In case of MS, the studies are lacking, the results concerning the discontinuation rate and factors associated with discontinuation are poor. Our main objective within the French speaking neurology study group (GENULF), is to prospectively assessed factors associated with ISC discontinuation 2 years after having introduced this technique.

This predictive study will be multicenter, observational, analytical, and prospective and will not modify current clinical practice.

We will record clinical and urinary data at each visit (inclusion, 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months). We will note also if the patient practice ISC as prescribed in order to identify discontinuation of the ISC.

What is being measured

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

  1. intermittent self catheterisation discontinuation at 2 years after the start of learning.

    intermittent self catheterisation frequency and the adherence scorage will be evaluated for each patient.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. intermittent self catheterisation discontinuation at 6 weeks, after the start of learning.

    intermittent self catheterisation frequency will be evaluated for each patient.

    Measured: 6 WEEKS

  2. intermittent self catheterisation discontinuation 6 months after the start of learning.

    intermittent self catheterisation frequency will be evaluated for each patient.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. intermittent self catheterisation discontinuation at 1 year after the start of learning.

    intermittent self catheterisation frequency will be evaluated for each patient.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Sclerosis, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 1 site in France.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Oct 2019. 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 France. 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?

intermittent self catheterisation discontinuation at 2 years after the start of learning. (time frame: 2 years). 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 18 Oct 2019.
