Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the possible improvement of urinary dysfunction using the urodynamic evaluation in MS patients affected by urinary disturbances and eligible to the treatment with Sativex;Secondary Objective: 1.to evaluate the improvement of urinary disturbances by means of self-reported scales 2.to correlate subjective amelioration of bladder dysfunction to parameters at the urodynamic tests 3.to evaluate improvement in spasticity and its related disorders (spasms, pain) and its correlation with amelioration of urodynamic parameters 4.to assess the possible correlation between the changes in urinary symptoms and the motor performance (evaluated by means of the Timed 10-Meters Walk Test) [14] 5.to assess the possible correlation between the improvement of bladder dysfunction and cannabinoids doses ;Primary end point(s): Improvement in urodynamic parameters between pre- and post-treatment evaluations: amelioration of urodynamic test will be defined as the combination of the reduction of at least 20 cmH2O in the amplitude of the maximal detrusorial contraction plus the increase of at least one third of the baseline bladder filling capacity.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: (T=0; T=1 30 +/-7d; T=6 180+/-7d) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Improvement in self-reported scales about urinary disturbances (urinary diary), in particular frequency of micturitions, episodes of diurnal and nocturnal incontinence, episodes of nocturnal micturition, micturial hesitation ; Correlation between changes in urinary disturbances evaluated by urodynamic evaluation and spasticity evaluated by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) [15], and motor improvement evaluated by the Timed 10-Meters Walk Test; Correlation between changes in urinary symptoms evaluated by urinary diary and spasticity evaluated by NRS, and motor improvement evaluated by the Timed 10-Meters Walk Test; Amelioration of spasticity, evaluated by means of and by means of the Ashworth Scale [16]; Amelioration of motor performance evaluated by means of the Timed 10-Meters Walk Test; Improvement of VAS scales for: spasms, tremors and pain [17]; Correlation between the whole number of puffs taken from baseline to T1 and from T1 to T6 and: changes in urodynamic parameters, amelioration of urinary symptoms evaluated by means of the urinary diary, results at the NRS and the Timed 10-Meters Walk Test, evaluated at the same time points;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: (T=0; T=1=30 +/-7d; T=6=180+/-7d); (T=0; T=1=30 +/-7d; T=6=180+/-7d); (T=0; T=1=30 +/-7d; T=6=180+/-7d); (T=0; T=1=30 +/-7d; T=6=180+/-7d); (T=0; T=1=30 +/-7d; T=6=180+/-7d); (T=0; T=1=30 +/-7d; T=6=180+/-7d); (T=0; T=1=30 +/-7d; T=6=180+/-7d) | — |
