Faster UTI testing for catheter users with neurogenic bladder
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a faster way to detect urinary tract infections in people who use catheters and have neurogenic bladder. It aims to find infections sooner, so you can get the right treatment more quickly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a doctor's diagnosis of neurogenic bladder, which is bladder problems caused by nerve damage.
- You use a urinary catheter (a tube in your urethra or through a small hole in your belly) to manage your bladder.
- You are currently experiencing symptoms that suggest a urinary tract infection (UTI), like burning, cloudy urine, or pelvic pain.
- You have not taken antibiotics for a UTI in the past 4 weeks.
- You have not had antibiotics placed directly into your bladder in the past 2 weeks.

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 tests a new way to manage urinary tract infection symptoms in women aged 65 and older. It aims to improve how symptoms are treated and reduce the number of infections.
This study tests a new bladder wash containing an antibiotic and a probiotic to prevent urinary tract infections in people with neurogenic bladder. It may help reduce infections and improve bladder health.
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 tests whether a specific urine test result can help doctors safely avoid using strong, broad-spectrum antibiotics in patients with urinary tract infections. It aims to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use while still treating the infection effectively.
