Trying PureWick to help with nighttime urination in older adults

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 is a single-center prospective pilot that uses the PureWick Urine Collection System to help manage nocturia in older adults. Participants will be followed for up to three months to collect urinary and sleep outcomes and to monitor for adverse events. The study aims to see if keeping urine output in bed reduces the need to get up to void and lowers fall risk, potentially improving sleep quality and overall well-being. It is conducted at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York, with collaboration from BD, and is designed to be feasible in real-world home or care settings.
