- Registration Number
- NCT00148005
- Lead Sponsor
- University Hospital, Ghent
- Brief Summary
Investigation of the prevalence etiology and therapy of micturition disorders of children with a mental and/or motoric disability

Overview of the problem by a questionnaire, diary of micturition and drinking behaviour, filled out by the parents or by the staff of the institution.
Investigation of the etiology by clinical and functional examination (uroflowmetry, bladder scan, video-urodynamic examination).
Frequency:
* Uroflowmetry: two periods of two weeks, with 6 weeks break between both periods. During the follow-up period every 3 months during 12 months
* Bladder scan: once during the periods of the uroflowmetry
