Study of Bladder-sphincter Symptoms in Functional Neurological Disorders (URO-TNF)

August 21, 2023 updated by: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

A significant proportion of patients with functional neurological disorders (FND) report urinary, anorectal or genitosexual disorders. However, until now, no study has focused on bladder-sphincter disorders in patients with FND. The symptoms of this pathology are, therefore, not precisely characterized.

Thus, the objective of this research is to specify if urinary, anorectal or sexual disorders can be observed in patients suffering from functional neurological disorders and to better describe them in order to propose better therapeutic options.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

In this clinical study the investigators want to prospectively include all patients presenting to a neurology consultation or day hospital for management of a motor or sensory FND.The patients will first be evaluated for their sphincter functions by self questionnaires. For those where a vesico-sphincter complaint is demonstrated, a neuro-urological consultation will be proposed. A follow-up will then be done, if necessary, in neurology and neuro-urology.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients presenting to a neurology consultation or day hospital for management of a functional motor or sensory disorder.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient over 18 years of age
  • Diagnosis of Functional Neurological Disorders according to DSM 5 criteria
  • No neurological comorbidity that could account for the sphincter disorders
  • Normal cerebral and spinal cord magnetic resonance imaging.
  • Patient affiliated to a French social security system
  • Patient informed and not objecting to participate in the study

Non inclusion Criteria :

  • Presence of neurological comorbidity that can account for sphincter disorders (e.g. multiple sclerosis, chronic neuropathy, etc.)
  • Pregnancy in progress
  • Candidate for surgery or locoregional treatment
  • Patient subject to legal protection measures.
  • Patient under state medical assistance

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
presence of at least one bladder-sphincter disorder
Time Frame: inclusion
This primary endpoint will be measured by the score of the questionnairies which will define the presence of a vesicosphincter disorder (USP), anorectal disorder (Kess and Wexner) or sexual genital disorder (FSFI/IIEF5)
inclusion

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
evaluate the nature of bladder and bowel disorders in patients with NFT
Time Frame: inclusion
the score of the different questionnairies vesicosphincter disorder (USP), anorectal disorder (Kess and Wexner) or sexual genital disorder (FSFI/IIEF5) that will define the presence of a bladder symptoms
inclusion
Assess the persistence of bladder and sphincter complaints in patients with NFTs
Time Frame: 24months
the score of the questionnairies vesicosphincter disorder (USP), anorectal disorder (Kess and Wexner) or sexual genital disorder (FSFI/IIEF5) that will define the presence of a bladder symptoms
24months
Evaluate whether patients with significant vesico-sphincter complaints differ from patients without complaints, including demographic, traumatic, and NFT semiology.
Time Frame: 24months
comparison of the characteristics of patients on the vesico-sphincter level
24months
To assess whether the clinical and paraclinical patterns of bladder and sphincter disorders differ according to the type of NFT.
Time Frame: 24months
Analysis of urodynamic assessment data
24months

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
March 8, 2023

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
