New gadget lets bladder patients measure pressure at home
NCT ID NCT04128709
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new device that connects to a standard urinary catheter to measure bladder pressure at home. 50 people with neurogenic bladder will use it during their daily routine. The goal is to see if patients and caregivers can use it easily and accurately outside the clinic.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Cystomanometer device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could allow people with neurogenic bladder to monitor their bladder pressure at home, potentially reducing clinic visits and catching problems earlier.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early study focused on usability, not on health outcomes. The device may not be easy for everyone to use, and it won't replace all medical monitoring.
