Study summary

The objective of the study is to describe the current status of MS patients with urinary disorders in Lebanon, and to demonstrate whether invasive investigations improve the management of these patients compared to an optimal non-invasive approach.

Read the detailed description

All patients will be evaluated by an urologist, then randomized into 2 groups, the first group will benefit from non-invasive investigations and will be treated accordingly, the second group will benefit from an urodynamic assessment and will also be treated accordingly.

An evaluation will be made one month, 3 months and 6 months after the first visit.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Oct 2017 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Aug 2019, 22 months after the start.

Of 847 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Multiple Sclerosis, half reached primary completion within 22 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 43. This study's planned 22 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 869 studies reached it within 21 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 43.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 6, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
