Lying down vs. sitting up: does position matter for bladder tests in MS and Parkinson's?
NCT ID NCT05949567
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether the position a person is in during a urodynamic exam (a test that measures bladder function) affects the diagnosis of an overactive bladder in people with multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease. Researchers will compare results from tests done while lying down and while sitting in the same person. The goal is to see if lying down is a reliable alternative for those who cannot sit comfortably, which could lead to better testing guidelines for neurological patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to updated guidelines allowing neurological patients to be tested lying down, making exams more accessible.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not change current practice if results show no clear difference or if the sample is too small.
