Efficacy of Oxybutynin in Paediatric Cystitis

Detailed Description
Roughly half of children age 4 to 16 who are diagnosed with a UTI have cystitis. Adult sufferers of cystitis report terrible scorching with voiding, frequent sensation of the need to void with little results, and aching and pressure in the abdomen and genitals. The management of cystitis in adulthood often includes medication directed at easing pain and discomfort. Little research has been directed at documenting the true incidence of these unpleasant symptoms in paediatric cystitis and virtually no literature exists on the management of the associated pain and discomfort. This study will aim to describe the nature and duration of unpleasant symptoms suffered by children with cystitis and will investigate the efficacy of a possible therapy to ease their suffering.
Hypothesis: The investigators feel that oxybutynin is the most suitable agent for the first trial of bladder antispasmodics in paediatric cystitis. The investigators reasoning is as follows:
- Previous adult studies have favored an anticholinergic agent (flavoxate) over the topical analgesic phenazopyridine in the symptomatic treatment of cystitis.
- Newer anticholinergic agents such as oxybutynin and tolterodine have been shown to be superior to older anticholinergic agents (such as flavoxate) in the treatment of many uncomfortable conditions of the bladder.
- Oxybutynin has been extensively studied in children for several non-infectious conditions of the bladder. The safety profile, expected side effects and dosage range have therefore been established for children.
- Oxybutynin is marketed in a palatable syrup. A placebo can easily be manufactured that is identical in taste, texture, smell, color, and volume.
The study will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial of oxybutynin therapy for symptom control in paediatric cystitis. Toilet trained children aged 4 - 16 years who present to the Alberta Children's Hospital (ACH) emergency room and receive a diagnosis of cystitis are eligible to participate.

Oxybutynin is a tertiary amine anticholinergic.
It exerts both antispasmodic and antimuscarinic activity on smooth muscle.
It also exerts analgesic and local anaesthetic effects.
All patients in treatment and control arms were treated as a co-intervention with an oral antibioitic, the type of which was chosen by the child's attending physician. Possible prescribed antibiotics include: trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole (Septra), Cefalotin, Cephalexin, Cefapirin, Cefdroxil, Cefazolin, Cefradine, Cefacetrile, Cefaloridine, Cefroxadine, Cefatrizine, Cefuroxime, Cefixime, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (Clavulin), and Nitrofurantoin. |

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Pain/discomfort ratings obtained at 4 hours after each of the three doses of study medication.
Time Frame: Four hours after each of the three doses of study medication.
|
Participants will be asked to rate how they feel at each of these times using the McGrath Facial Affective Scale (MFAS).
The MFAS ranges from the lowest pain score A (happy face) to the highest pain score I (very unhappy crying face).
Data will be acquired over a 4 hours after the oxybutynin is given, therefore the investigators can expect that some of the measurements will be disrupted by nighttime sleep for some of the participants.
Parents will be asked to document if their child is sleeping during the time when measurements are to be made.
|
Four hours after each of the three doses of study medication.
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Measurements of pain/discomfort with each urination recorded during the first 24 hours.
Time Frame: Immediate 24 hours after presenting to the ED.
|
Measurements will be made using the McGrath Facial Affective Scale and will be recorded by the participant or family member at home.
|
Immediate 24 hours after presenting to the ED.
|
Number of supplemental doses of acetominophen used during the first 24 hours of the study.
Time Frame: Immediate 24 hours after presenting to the ED.
|
This information will be recorded by the participant or caregiver at home.
|
Immediate 24 hours after presenting to the ED.
