Official Title: A Controlled Randomized, Physician Blinded Study to Assess Isolated Uro-therapy vs. Urotherapy With Constipation Treatment for Patients With Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction (LUTD) Not Meeting ROME-III

Brief Summary: Constipation treatment has been found to ameliorate symptoms in some patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction (including day time or combined day time/night time urinary incontinence). This study aims to explore if treatment of patients without overt constipation (As defined by the ROME III criteria) will also respond to anti-constipation treatment with reduction of their urinary tract symptoms. Assessment of severity and response of lower urinary tract dysfunction will be based on the Vancouver NULTD/DES questionnaire.

Sponsor: Rabin Medical Center

Current Primary Outcome: Complete (Vancouver score - ≤90% of screening value) or Partial (Vancouver score ≤ 50% screening value) response at the end of intervention. [ Time Frame: 14 weeks ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Number of participants with complete (Vancouver score - ≤90% of screening value) or Partial (Vancouver score ≤ 50% screening value) response in patient subgroups with fecal loading compared to those without fecal loading. [ Time Frame: 14 weeks ]
    Number of participants with complete (Vancouver score - ≤90% of screening value) or Partial (Vancouver score ≤ 50% screening value) response to therapy in those with radiological evidence of fecal loading on enrollment abdominal x-ray (as defined by rectal/pelvic outlet ratio, Leech score, and Barr score) compared to those who did not in the intervention group and the urotherapy group
  • Sustained Response - Number of participants with complete (Vancouver score - ≤90% of screening value) or Partial (Vancouver score ≤ 50% screening value) response 12 weeks after intervention has ended. [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ]
  • Number of participants with adverse effects [ Time Frame: 14 weeks ]
    Adverse effects of interventions as reported by patients/care givers during visits


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
