ACTIVE NOT RECRUITING NA

Investigation of Brain Mechanisms Involved in the Urinary Continence Mechanism Associated With Aging

NCT04599088 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

Urge urinary incontinence (UUI) is a common problem in older people which vastly reduces quality of life, yet the cause and mechanism of disease are not well understood. This study will characterize brain control of the bladder in young and old continent individuals and age-matched incontinent counterparts. This will expand the investigators current knowledge of how the brain controls the bladder, how that control changes with age and disease, and suggest new targets to guide development of better treatment.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04599088

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04599088 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 207 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Pittsburgh, which has 1,082 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Urgency Urinary Incontinence appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Brain functional MRI with simplified urodynamics is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04599088 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Pennsylvania. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
