About this study

Official title: Trends in the Microbiome Profiles of Women With Urgency and Frequency Syndrome, With or Without Pelvic Pain?

To determine differences in the urinary microbiomes, identified by polymerase change reaction (PCR) (UTIP™), of female patients with urgency and frequency syndrome with or without pelvic pain (Group A) compared to female controls without symptoms of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) (Group B).

Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT04831801
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Female patients with overactive bladder (OAB)Patients with urgency and frequency syndrome with or without pelvic pain (Group A) will provide two urine samples. One urine sample is a clean catch and the other is a catheterized specimen. Both will be sent for analysis. A perineal swab will also be collect and analyzed for each patient.
Female control patients without LUTSPatients without LUTS (Group B) will provide two urine samples. One urine sample is a clean catch and the other is a catheterized specimen. Both will be sent for analysis. A perineal swab will also be collect and analyzed for each patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients with Lactobacillus in samples.

    Evaluation of urine and perineal samples by PCR.

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Proportion of patients negative for repeat sequencing.

    Evaluation of urine and perineal samples by PCR.

    Measured: Day 1

  3. Proportion of patients with change in UDI-6 score

    UDI 6 question 1 and 2 has a total score from 0-6 with a high score indicating more distress. Proportion of patients with a decrease in score from baseline will be reported for this outcome.

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks
