Gentamicin and Probiotics for Neurogenic Bladder Health
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This early-stage trial tests a new treatment combining an antibiotic (gentamicin) and beneficial bacteria (lactobacillus) instilled directly into the bladder to help prevent urinary tract infections in people with neurogenic bladder—a condition where nerve damage affects bladder control. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and helps reduce infection risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a neurological condition (like spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or similar) that affects bladder function
- You have had neurogenic bladder for at least 6 months
- You are 18 years or older
- You do not currently have a urinary tract infection (UTI)
- You are not hospitalized and live in the community
- You have not taken any antibiotics in the past 2 weeks

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 a nerve-stimulation approach to improve bladder control in people with spinal cord injury. It specifically targets bladder problems that require clean intermittent catheter use and includes regular testing over 6 months.
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.
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 study tests whether taking a low-dose antibiotic (nitrofurantoin) before a Botox bladder injection can help prevent urinary tract infections. You may be able to join if you are getting Botox for overactive bladder or painful bladder syndrome and do not have frequent UTIs or other health issues that would make the antibiotic unsafe.
This study looks at whether giving antibiotics (or not) before bladder Botox injections can reduce later urinary infections in people with nerve-related bladder problems. It focuses on people who have bacteria in the urine but no symptoms, using bladder self-catheterization as their main bladder management.
