Trial summary

Detrusor underactivity (DU) is a known disease of the muscles of the urinary bladder that defined as a weak contraction of the muscle resulting in a failure to achieve complete bladder emptying. Recently, DU as a cause of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in both men and women has been increasingly gaining attention. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Prevalence and Clinical Presentation of Detrusor Underactivity and Its Urodynamic Characteristics

Detrusor underactivity (DU) is a known disease of the muscles of the urinary bladder that defined as a weak contraction of the muscle resulting in a failure to achieve complete bladder emptying. Recently, DU as a cause of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in both men and women has been increasingly gaining attention. There is a major issue in differentiation of underactive bladder symptoms and other causes of lower urinary tract symptoms such as detrusor hyperactivity and impaired contractility (DHIC), hypersensitive bladder (HSB), detrusor overactivity (DO), bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and Dysfunctional Voiding (DV). Urodynamics (UDS) is the standard diagnostic tool, it includes invasive recording of the pressure that is produced when the bladder muscle contracts via pressure sensors introduced in the urinary bladder through special types of urethral catheters. This study aims to determine the prevalence of DU along with its symptomatic and urodynamics (UDS) characteristics of DU in Jordanian population through a retrospective chart review.

What participants receive

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

  • Symptom questionnaireOther

    Arabic version of the International Prostate Symptom Score: Known and validated questionnaire to quantify and qualify the severity of symptoms of the lower urinary tract

  • UrodynamicsDiagnostic test

    Urodynamics: the standard diagnostic tool, it includes invasive recording of the pressure that is produced when the bladder muscle contracts via pressure sensors introduced in the urinary bladder through special types of urethral catheters.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of detrusor underactivity in Jordan

    The proportion of patients with lower urinary tract symptoms found to be affected by Detrusor underactivity

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Symptomatic presentation of Detrusor underactivity

    Arabic version of the International Prostate Symptom Score was used to assess the prevalence and severity of the symptoms that are associated with detrusor underactivity. The questionnaire includes 8 questions, the 1st 7 questions are about the urinary symptoms (Incomplete emptying, urinary frequency, intermittency, urgency, weak urine stream, straining and nocturia) and the 8th is about Quality of Life due to Urinary Symptoms. Each question concerning urinary symptoms allows the patient to choose one out of six answers indicating increasing severity of the particular symptom. The answers are assigned points from 0 to 5. The total score can therefore range from 0 to 35 (asymptomatic to very symptomatic). The answers to the 8th question (quality of life) range from "delighted" to "terrible" or 0 to 6.

    Measured: over one month period prior to clinical evaluation during the 3 years time period

  3. Urodynamics parameters

    Urodynamics is a series of tests conducted in an outpatient setting that evaluates the function of the urinary bladder, including physiological parameters of how completely the bladder, sphincter and urethra are storing and releasing urine. These parameters are recorded by pressure sensors that are inserted into the bladder via special urinary catheters to measure the pressure that is generated during storing and releasing urine. The assessment of urodynamic variables is based on bladder capacity, presence of involuntary bladder muscle contractions, bladder volume at 1st sensation of bladder filling, bladder volumes at normal and strong desire for urination, detrusor pressure at maximum flow of urine during voiding, volume voided, and the post-void residual urine volume. All urodynamic testing was performed based on the International Continence Society standards.

    Measured: Each test takes around 30-45 minutes, all urodymanics studies were performed during the study period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Detrusor Underactivity, run by Mutah University at 1 site in Jordan.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 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 Jordan. 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?

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?

Prevalence of detrusor underactivity in Jordan (time frame: 3 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Apr 2020.
