About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Bladder Dysfunction
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Provision of informed consent
- Male and female patients aged 18 years and over
- MS patients that are already currently treated or eligible for treatment with anticholinergic drugs
- Patient with previously confirmed multiple sclerosis according to McDonald Criteria and level of disability less than 6.5 on the Kutzke scale and have been stable for 6 months
- The patient has all or any bladder symptoms; urgency, frequency, incontinence, nocturia, PVR
- The patient has Frequency symptoms > 8 voiding per 24 h
- The patient has PVR > 50 ml, measured at two repetitive bladder scan measurements during the screening phase as well as the randomization visit
- Adequate mobility to lower limbs, sufficient hand function and ability to practice CIC at least three times daily
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnancy
- Ongoing symptomatic Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) as judged by investigator
- Involvement in the planning and conduct of the study (applies to both Astra Tech staff or staff at the study site)
- The patient practices CIC prior the study
- The patient has undergone a sphincterectomy
- Progressive "Relapsing- remitting MS" as judged by the investigator
- Severe non-compliance to protocol as judged by the investigator and/or Astra Tech
- The patient is participating in other study that might have an impact on the outcome of this, as judged by investigator
- PVR > 250 ml, measured at two repetitive bladder scan measurements during the screening phase as well as the randomization visit and or if Bladder Voiding Efficiency (BVE) at visit 2 (randomization) is 50% or less than visit 1 (screening)

Experimental
Active Comparator
Arm Label
CIC using LoFric Primo
Anticholinergic medication
Arm Description
Anticholinergic medication according to clinical practice and investigator´s judgement and start of CIC using LoFric Primo catheters, i.e. Drug + Device.
Anticholinergic medication according to clinical practice and investigator´s judgement, i.e. Drug.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Percent Change From Baseline in Frequency of Micturition Per Day at 8 Weeks.
Number of micturitions per day was assessed using a patient diary during three days at baseline and after 8 weeks of treatment. The relative change in mean number of micturitions was compared between the groups. The change was calculated as percent change = ((measure at 8 weeks - measure at baseline)/measure at baseline)*100%.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The aims of this prospective, randomized study are:
To assess the effect of clean intermittent catheterization (CIC)
To investigate if MS patients will have symptom reduction (urgency, frequency, nocturia and incontinence) when using CIC in combination with anticholinergic drugs
To identify at what volume of Postvoid Residual (PVR) urine, starting CIC improves bladder control and QoL
To increase the evidence of CIC, and support clinical guidelines of bladder management in MS patients
