Patient Reported Outcomes for Bladder Management Strategies in Spinal Cord Injury

Completed

• Conditions: Neurogenic Bladder; Quality of Life; Spinal Cord Injuries; Incontinence

• Registration Number: NCT02616081
• Lead Sponsor: University of Utah

Brief Summary

The investigators goal is to create a better understanding of patient reported outcomes for bladder management strategies (clean intermittent catheterization (CIC), indwelling catheter (IDC) and bladder surgery.

Detailed Description

Our study is a longitudinal observational study between bladder management strategies, comparing outcomes measured by patient reported questionnaires.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Neurogenic Bladder Symptom Score (NBSS): comparing change in: CIC, IDC, Voiding, and Surgery	Baseline and 1 year longitudinal follow up	The NBSS quantifies bladder symptoms
The Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life Measurement System Bladder Management Difficulties (SCI-QOL Difficulties): comparing change in: CIC, IDC, Voiding, and Surgery	Baseline and 1 year longitudinal follow up	The SCI-QoL Difficulties assesses feelings and psychosocial impact of bladder symptoms
The Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life Measurement System Bladder Complications (SCI-QOL Complications): comparing change in: CIC, IDC, Voiding, and Surgery	Baseline and 1 year longitudinal follow up	The SCI-QoL Complications assesses degree of bladder complications their psychosocial impact

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
NBSS Incontinence subdomain	Baseline and 1 year longitudinal follow up	The Incontinence subdomain measures degree of incontinence
NBSS Storage and Voiding subdomain	Baseline and 1 year longitudinal follow up	The Storage and Voiding subdomain measures symptoms related to frequency and emptying of the bladder
NBSS QoL Satisfaction	Baseline and 1 year longitudinal follow up	The final question of the NBSS assesses overall satisfaction with the urinary system
NBSS Consequences subdomain	Baseline and 1 year longitudinal follow up	The Consequences subdomain measures bladder related complications
