Bladder wash with LGG probiotic vs saline for nerve bladder
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether putting a probiotic called LGG into the bladder works better than a saline bladder rinse to help people with a nerve-related bladder problem. It may improve bladder symptoms or reduce bladder infections, compared with standard saline rinses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your spinal cord injury has been present for at least 6 months
- You have a nerve bladder condition (NLUTD) that your doctor has diagnosed
- You manage bladder emptying with intermittent catheterization (not just a Foley catheter)
- You live in the community (not currently an acute-care hospital patient)

This study asks patients and caregivers about their experiences with bladder washes (instillations) using lactobacillus or gentamicin to manage urinary symptoms. Your feedback could help improve care for others like you.
This trial tests if putting a live bacteria called Lactobacillus crispatus into the bladder is safe for people with spinal cord injury and neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. It may help prevent urinary tract infections without antibiotics.
This trial tests if giving Botox injections early (within 20 weeks of injury) into the bladder muscle can help with bladder function and prevent problems. It may help people with recent, severe spinal cord injuries above the T6 level.
This trial compares two ways of doing a nerve test to see if a small device can help you control your bladder better. The device is implanted near your lower spine and sends mild pulses to help your bladder hold more urine and empty better.
This trial tests whether a special virus (bacteriophage) that attacks E. coli bacteria can help control bacteria in the bladder without causing an infection. It's for people with spinal cord injury who use a catheter and have E. coli in their urine but no active infection.
This trial tests whether a medication called OM-89 (a bacterial extract taken by mouth) can help reduce how often you need antibiotics for urinary tract infections (UTIs). It is for people with a neurogenic bladder from a spinal cord injury who use a catheter to empty their bladder and have had many UTIs in the past year.
