Trial summary

Heart rate variability (HRV) is an important indicator of cardiac autonomic function and predictor of cardiac mortality and of all-cause mortality. In this study the investigators examined changes of the HRV in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) undergoing botulinum neurotoxin type A intradetrusor… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Heart Rate Variability in Patients With Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity Before and After Botulinum Neurotoxin Type A Intradetrusor Injections

Heart rate variability (HRV) is an important indicator of cardiac autonomic function and predictor of cardiac mortality and of all-cause mortality. In this study the investigators examined changes of the HRV in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) undergoing botulinum neurotoxin type A intradetrusor injections (BoNT/A).

Read the detailed description

BoNT/A is a common treatment in patients with NDO. Possible known side effects are urinary retention or increased post void residual. Systemic side effects seems to be rare. However this has not been investigated in detail. Although in very small amounts, BoNT/A can enter the systemic circulation during intradetrusor injections and might cause distant effects on other neuro-muscular systems, i.e. the heart. Aim of this trial is to asses potential systemic adverse effects of BoNT/A on the heart following intradetrusor injections for NDO. Potential effects on the cardiac autonomic function can be detected using HRV analysis. Patients without relevant preexisting disorders of cardiac function and proven NDO are included. During four separate visits, all subjects receive two ECG measurements before (Visit 1 and 2) and two ECG measurements following BoNT/A intradetrusor injections (Visit 3 and 4). We investigate three different groups: 1) patients not receiving BoNT/A intradetrusor injections (= control group), 2) patients receiving intradetrusor injections with 100 units BoNT/A, and 3) patients receiving intradetrusor injections with 300 units BoNT/A.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control groupHealthy volunteers, examined with ECG without any treatment (controls)
100 BoNT/Apatients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity, examined with ECG, injection of 100 units BoNT/A
300 BoNT/Apatients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity, examined with ECG, injection of 300 units BoNT/A

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in frequency and time

    Changes in frequency (low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), low frequency/highfrequency (LF/HF)) and time (domain parameters. This include the root mean square of differences of successive NN (normal to normal, i.e. interval between two R peaks) intervals (RMSSD), and the standard deviation of the NN intervals (SDNN)

    Measured: The outcome measures (VLF, LF and HF, SDNN and RMSSD are measured with an ECG recording during 10 minutes, at four different time points (two times before, and two times following the BoNT/A application

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adverse events related to BoNT/A injection (urinary tract infection, urinary retention, increasing postvoiding urine, need for intermittend catheterization

    Measured: This outcome measured will be evaluated at visit 4 (six weeks, following the BoNT/A application

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bladder Disorder, Neurogenic, run by Balgrist University Hospital at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 4 inclusion and 9 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 May 2016. 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 Switzerland. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in frequency and time (time frame: The outcome measures (VLF, LF and HF, SDNN and RMSSD are measured with an ECG recording during 10 minutes, at four different time points (two times before, and two times following the BoNT/A application). 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 17 May 2016.
