Sponsored by: Vanderbilt University
Information provided by: Vanderbilt University
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00849225
  Purpose

The purpose of this experiment is to validate the previous clinical study results using the Tetra-NIRS as compared to the conventional UDS in the voiding procedure. The experiment will use a commercially available Tetra-NIRS device.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Comparison to standard urodynamics [ Time Frame: Real time comparison during one urodynamics procedure ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 50
Study Start Date: July 2009
Estimated Study Completion Date: June 2010
Estimated Primary Completion Date: March 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Intervention Details:
    Device: Tetra-NIRS device
    Non-Invasive Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS)
Detailed Description:

This is a study of the commercially available Tetra-NIRS device (the integration of Laborie UDS and Urodynamix's Non-Invasive Urodynamics device - Uro-NIRS), to confirm the results collected using the commercially available Tetra-NIRS device. The study will evaluate male patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The study will also include and evaluate female subjects with over-active bladder (OAB). The Tetra-NIRS unit uses near infrared light at 3 different wavelengths to measure changes in haemoglobin and cytochrome from the detrusor muscle from the human bladder wall. This process is similar to what is used for cerebral and muscle oxygenation monitoring (e.g., pulse oximetry). Previous clinical feasibility studies have identified the correlation between the changes in haemoglobin and cytochrome and the pressure values obtained during urodynamics procedures and uroflow procedures. For this study the Tetra-NIRS results specifically will not be used by the urologist/nurse to guide in patient management and treatment decisions, but rather will only be used to collect measurements from the patient. The Tetra-NIRS sensor patch will be adhered to skin surface where their bladder is located.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years to 80 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

INCLUSION CRITERIA

  • Subjects must be 18 years of age or older.
  • Subjects are patients of one of the institutions and are currently scheduled for UDS
  • Male subjects must have LUTS
  • Female subjects must have OAB
  • Subjects must give their informed consent prior to enrollment.

EXCLUSION CRITERIA The patient has an existing health condition which the investigators feel will not allow for safe or accurate measurements with the Tetra-NIRS device.
