Sonographic Measurement of Bladder Wall Thickness in Patients With Neurogenic Bladder Dysfunction
An observational study of Spinal Cord Injury, run by Swiss Paraplegic Research, Nottwil at 1 site in Switzerland.
Trial summary
Video-urodynamic investigations are regarded as the current standard diagnostics for neurogenic bladder dysfunction in patients with spinal cord injury. This examination is exact, but time consuming, costly and associated with the risk of urinary tract infection. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Sonographic Measurement of Bladder Wall Thickness in Patients With Neurogenic Bladder Dysfunction Due to Spinal Cord Injury
Video-urodynamic investigations are regarded as the current standard diagnostics for neurogenic bladder dysfunction in patients with spinal cord injury. This examination is exact, but time consuming, costly and associated with the risk of urinary tract infection.
In patients with lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostate hyperplasia, sonographic measurement of bladder wall thickness has been demonstrated to be able to replace urodynamic testing for the diagnosis of infravesical obstruction.
Hypothesis: measurement of bladder wall thickness in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction due to spinal cord injury is closely related to the known risk factors for upper urinary tract deterioration (bladder compliance, detrusor leak point pressure) in this group of patients and can therefore replace urodynamic examination in selected cases.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
sonographic measurement of bladder wall thicknessOther
measurement of bladder wall thickness by ultrasound at different filling states of the bladder during urodynamic investigation
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| one arm; neurogenic bladder dysfunction | evaluation of the clinical utility of bladder wall thickness as a diagnostic tool in patients with spinal cord injury Receives: Other: sonographic measurement of bladder wall thickness |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Video-urodynamic investigations are regarded as the current standard diagnostics for neurogenic bladder dysfunction in patients with spinal cord injury. This examination is exact, but time consuming, costly and associated with the risk of urinary tract infection.
In patients with lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostate hyperplasia, sonographic measurement of bladder wall thickness has been demonstrated to be able to replace urodynamic testing for the diagnosis of infravesical obstruction.
Hypothesis: measurement of bladder wall thickness in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction due to spinal cord injury is closely related to the known risk factors for upper urinary tract deterioration (bladder compliance, detrusor leak point pressure) in this group of patients and can therefore replace urodynamic examination in selected cases.
