Examining how body position affects bladder function tests in neurological patients
Does Position Influence the Diagnosis of Detrusor Overactivity in a Neurological Population - a Concordance Study Between Lying and Sitting Position
NA · Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · NCT05949567
This study is testing whether changing body positions during bladder tests can help people with neurological conditions like Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's disease get more accurate results.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the impact of body position on the diagnosis of detrusor overactivity during urodynamic examinations in patients with neurological disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. It aims to challenge existing guidelines that recommend sitting or standing positions for these tests, which may not be feasible for many neurological patients. Participants will undergo urodynamic assessments in both sitting and lying positions, with data collected and analyzed to determine the effectiveness of each position. The goal is to establish tailored recommendations for urodynamic testing in this specific patient population.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults with Multiple Sclerosis or Parkinson's disease who require urodynamic assessment and have symptoms of overactive bladder.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have neurological disorders or those who oppose undergoing urodynamic examinations will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diagnostic practices for bladder dysfunction in patients with neurological conditions.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited research specifically addressing this population, previous studies have indicated that position can influence urodynamic outcomes, suggesting potential for success in this novel approach.
