URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS

This early study tests whether a mixture of viruses called phages can safely treat urinary tract infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria. Six adults aged 18 to 65 will receive the phage treatment for 2–3 days and be monitored for 2–4 weeks. The goal is to see if the phages c…

This study looks at two ways to drain urine from the bladder before surgery for an enlarged prostate: a tube left in place (indwelling catheter) or a tube you insert yourself several times a day (clean intermittent self-catheterization). The goal is to see which method leads to f…

This study tests whether rinsing the kidney with a special solution (dioxidine) after stone-removal surgery can stop new infection-related kidney stones from coming back. About 95 adults who have surgery for infection stones will either get standard care or standard care plus the…

This study tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) can prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women. About 312 women aged 18-75 who have had repeat UTIs but no current infection will receive either real or sham electroacupu…

This study looks at whether giving women a preventive antibiotic right before a clinic-based urethral bulking procedure (for stress urinary incontinence) can reduce the chance of getting a urinary tract infection (UTI) afterward. About 150 women will be randomly assigned to recei…

This early study looks at whether adding vitamin C to the drug methenamine hippurate (Hiprex®) can better prevent repeat urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women. Twenty women with frequent UTIs will take either Hiprex alone or Hiprex plus vitamin C for six months each. The goal …

This study looks at how a single dose of the experimental antibiotic gepotidacin works in the bodies of 20 hospitalized children aged 2 to 12 who have a bacterial infection or are receiving antibiotics to prevent one. Researchers will measure drug levels and monitor safety. The g…

This study will examine what happens when hospitals stop using urine dipsticks to diagnose urinary tract infections (UTIs) in adults visiting emergency rooms. Researchers will compare infection rates, antibiotic use, and patient outcomes before and after the change, using data fr…

This study looks at how doctors can improve antibiotic prescriptions for urinary tract infections (UTIs) after patients leave the emergency department. Researchers will check if adjusting antibiotics based on lab test results reduces the use of strong drugs like fluoroquinolones.…

This study tests whether a personalized exercise program, started in the hospital and continued at home with video supervision, helps older adults recover after being hospitalized for pneumonia or a urinary tract infection. The goal is to see if this approach is safe, improves ph…
