Radiation cystitis

This study looks at whether a heart procedure called left atrial occlusion can help patients who have both atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and radiation cystitis (bladder inflammation from cancer treatment). These patients often take blood thinners to prevent strokes…

This study tests whether giving patients a special nutritional drink (immunonutrition) before bladder removal surgery can reduce complications like infections. About 232 adults having open cystectomy for various bladder conditions will be randomly assigned to receive the drink or…

This early-stage study tests a new imaging agent called 18F-4FN for PET scans to safely detect inflammation in the body. It involves 55 adults with cancer who are on immunotherapy or have suspected inflammation. The goal is to see if this agent can highlight areas of inflammation…

This study tests whether letting a bladder catheter fall out on its own (passive removal) is better than having a nurse pull it out (active removal) after urological surgery. 160 men will be randomly assigned to one method. Researchers will measure satisfaction, pain, and anxiety…

This study follows 1,000 adults who have long-term bladder or bowel problems from past cancer radiation and are receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Researchers want to learn which patients improve most and when treatment works best. The goal is to better understand how to…

This study looks at whether repeated sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can damage DNA in people who have had radiation for cancer. HBOT is used to help heal tissues damaged by radiation, but it also creates reactive oxygen molecules that might harm DNA. Researchers wil…

This pilot study is measuring prednisolone levels in 120 people with inflammatory diseases like thyroid eye disease, vasculitis, COPD, asthma, and others. Participants take high-dose prednisolone as part of their routine care, and researchers take timed blood samples to see how t…

This study looks at 320 adults who are about to start strong immune-suppressing therapy and have already had at least two COVID-19 shots. Researchers want to find out if giving a COVID-19 booster right before starting therapy or waiting six months provides better protection. Part…

This study tests a new method to help patients understand complex spine or prostate surgeries before they agree to them. Instead of just reading a form, patients watch multimedia content and answer questions to check their understanding. The goal is to see if this approach makes …

This study looks at how well three AI models—ChatGPT, Gemini, and Deepseek—can diagnose and suggest treatments for urology diseases. Researchers will use 800 past patient records from four hospitals to check the AI's accuracy and usefulness. The goal is to understand if AI can he…

This study looks at how hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) affects symptoms and urine markers in people with chronic radiation cystitis, a bladder condition caused by past radiation treatment. Researchers will collect urine, blood, and tissue samples from 100 participants before, d…
