Trial summary

A significant proportion of patients with functional neurological disorders (FND) report urinary, anorectal or genitosexual disorders. However, until now, no study has focused on bladder-sphincter disorders in patients with FND. The symptoms of this pathology are, therefore, not precisely characterized. Read more about this study

About this study

A significant proportion of patients with functional neurological disorders (FND) report urinary, anorectal or genitosexual disorders. However, until now, no study has focused on bladder-sphincter disorders in patients with FND. The symptoms of this pathology are, therefore, not precisely characterized.

Thus, the objective of this research is to specify if urinary, anorectal or sexual disorders can be observed in patients suffering from functional neurological disorders and to better describe them in order to propose better therapeutic options.

Read the detailed description

In this clinical study the investigators want to prospectively include all patients presenting to a neurology consultation or day hospital for management of a motor or sensory FND.The patients will first be evaluated for their sphincter functions by self questionnaires. For those where a vesico-sphincter complaint is demonstrated, a neuro-urological consultation will be proposed. A follow-up will then be done, if necessary, in neurology and neuro-urology.

What is being measured

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

  1. presence of at least one bladder-sphincter disorder

    This primary endpoint will be measured by the score of the questionnairies which will define the presence of a vesicosphincter disorder (USP), anorectal disorder (Kess and Wexner) or sexual genital disorder (FSFI/IIEF5)

    Measured: inclusion

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. evaluate the nature of bladder and bowel disorders in patients with NFT

    the score of the different questionnairies vesicosphincter disorder (USP), anorectal disorder (Kess and Wexner) or sexual genital disorder (FSFI/IIEF5) that will define the presence of a bladder symptoms

    Measured: inclusion

  2. Assess the persistence of bladder and sphincter complaints in patients with NFTs

    the score of the questionnairies vesicosphincter disorder (USP), anorectal disorder (Kess and Wexner) or sexual genital disorder (FSFI/IIEF5) that will define the presence of a bladder symptoms

    Measured: 24months

  3. Evaluate whether patients with significant vesico-sphincter complaints differ from patients without complaints, including demographic, traumatic, and NFT semiology.

    comparison of the characteristics of patients on the vesico-sphincter level

    Measured: 24months

  4. To assess whether the clinical and paraclinical patterns of bladder and sphincter disorders differ according to the type of NFT.

    Analysis of urodynamic assessment data

    Measured: 24months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Urinary Bladder Sphincter Disorder, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 12 inclusion and 0 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Aug 2023. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Béatrice GARCIN, Dr (01 48 95 54 01, beatrice.garcin@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

presence of at least one bladder-sphincter disorder (time frame: inclusion). 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 23 Aug 2023.
