Rapid UTI test for people using catheters with neurogenic bladder
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a rapid diagnostic tool for urinary tract infections (UTIs) in people with neurogenic bladder who use catheters. It aims to find a faster way to identify UTIs so treatment can start sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have been diagnosed with neurogenic bladder.
- You must use a catheter to drain urine (through your urethra or abdomen).
- You must have symptoms that suggest a urinary tract infection (UTI).
- You must not have taken antibiotics for a suspected UTI in the past 4 weeks (or used bladder-instilled antibiotics in the past 2 weeks).
- You must not have conditions that make it hard to follow study instructions, and you must not be in another study that could affect results.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 a quick, in-clinic test for women with suspected urinary tract infections. The goal is to see if the test can accurately find bacteria and give fast results to help your doctor choose the right treatment.
This study uses a new device to measure your bladder function over a full day, helping doctors better understand urinary symptoms. You might be eligible if you need a standard bladder test and do not have certain conditions like frequent infections or nerve-related bladder problems.
This study tests a new urine test (the UF-5000) to see if it can help doctors decide who really needs antibiotics for a bladder infection. The goal is to avoid giving antibiotics when they are not needed.
This study tests whether washing the bladder with a solution called chlorhexidine (a germ-killer) can lower the number of unplanned hospital visits and improve quality of life for people who have a long-term suprapubic catheter. You may be eligible if you have had a catheter for at least a year and have had a recent urinary tract infection.
This trial is testing a new way to use special tests (called integrons) to help doctors decide if they can safely use fewer strong antibiotics for urinary tract infections that are resistant to common treatments. It is for people in the hospital who have a resistant infection and may help reduce side effects and prevent more resistance.
