Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include men and women over 18 years old diagnosed with spinal dysraphism who experience urinary, bowel, or sexual dysfunction.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with other neurologic pathologies, except for those commonly associated with spinal dysraphism, may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to identify specific clinical and paraclinical patterns of pelvic disorders, such as urinary, bowel, and sexual dysfunctions, in adults with spinal dysraphism. Patients over 18 years old will be evaluated during a one-day hospitalization, where their medical history, treatments, and characteristics of pelvic disorders will be recorded. The study seeks to determine the prognosis of symptoms and the risk of complications based on the type and level of dysraphism. By identifying at-risk patients, the study aims to provide targeted evaluations and care to improve patient outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to better monitoring and management of pelvic disorders in patients with spinal dysraphism, ultimately improving their quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: While this study addresses a specific aspect of spinal dysraphism, similar observational studies have shown success in identifying risk factors for complications in related conditions.
