Summary

This study tests a patient empowerment program for veterans with spinal cord injury and neurogenic bladder who have had at least one urinary tract infection in the past year. The program provides training and tools to help them recognize when antibiotics are not needed and advocate for themselves with their healthcare providers. The goal is to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use and improve quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Empowerment Program (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If it works, this program could help veterans with spinal cord injury avoid unnecessary antibiotics and improve their quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply widely. The program relies on patient engagement, which may vary.
