Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates a novel pressure monitoring device designed for patients with neurogenic bladder who use urinary catheters. The device attaches to standard catheters and allows for regular monitoring of bladder pressure and capacity in a home setting, which is crucial for maintaining renal and urinary health. Participants will use the device at least twice daily for two weeks, providing insights into its usability and effectiveness compared to traditional in-office testing.
