A Study on Accuracy Improvement of Repeated Measure Uroflowmetry- Electromyography

An interventional study of Combining electromyography with uroflowmetry (group A) and Uroflowmetry(Group B) in Enuresis, sponsored by Yonsei University. Status unknown at 1 site in South Korea. Open to participants aged 5 Years to 12 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-01-16.

Study summary

Uroflowmetry(UF) has been the standard first-line diagnostic tool for the evaluation of pediatric voiding dysfunction. But recently, UF combined with pelvic flow electromyography(EMG) is emphasized and recommended to analyze the separate contributions of the detrusor and bladder outlet and sole UF is discouraged except for the follow-up study after abnormal UF/EMG result(Bauer et al., 2015). However, electrode itself can disturb pelvic floor relaxation and there is no evidence about necessity of consecutive UF/EMG test. Therefore, the investigators are going to compare three different methods (Primary-Secondary: UF/EMG-UF/EMG, UF/EMG-sole UF, sole UF-UF/EMG)

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. maximum flow rate(Qmax=cc/s)

    The maximum flow rate is the most important uroflowmetry index to diagnose bladder outlet obstruction or bladder contractility.

    Time frame: One day

Secondary outcomes

  1. Uroflow curve pattern

    Uroflow curve pattern: There are 5 uroflow curve patterns, bell-shaped, tower-shaped, interrupted-shaped, staccato-shaped and plateau shaped by uroflowmetry. The shape is determined by detrusor contractility and influenced by abdominal straining, coordination with the bladder outlet musculature and any distal anatomic obstruction.

    Time frame: One day

  2. post void residual

    post-void residual(cc): ultrasonographic bladder scan machines calculates bladder volume. PVR measurements in neurologically intact children are highly variable. PVR must be obtained immediately after voiding(\<5min)

    Time frame: One day

  3. synergy or dyssynergy between the bladder and the pelvic floor.

    synergy or dyssynergy between the bladder and the pelvic floor is abstained by combining electromyography with uroflowmetry.

    Time frame: One day

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

Of 262 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Enuresis, half reached primary completion within 16 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 37. This study's planned 22 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 308 studies reached it within 15 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 36.

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 Jan 16, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
