Study of Transition in Real-life Experiences Affecting Micturition and Well-being in Adolescent Years
Belgium20 participantsStarted 2025-02-28
Plain-language summary
With this study, we would like to interview 16-25-year-olds who have experienced urinary problems since childhood and who are still experiencing symptoms in young adulthood. The transition from childhood, through puberty, to young adulthood is a time period marked by many psychological ans physiological changes, during which it can be difficult to properly monitor certain symptoms. With this study, we aim to gather opinions and experiences of adolescents and young adults in order to improve urological care for other patients in the future.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* LUTS (according to ICCS definition) present during childhood
* Participants receiving follow-up care for LUTS from a general practitioner, urologist, paediatric urologist, or paediatric nephrologist.
* Individuals aged 16-25 years who have recently transitioned to adult care or are currently undergoing the transition process.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients not comfortable conducting interviews and completing questionnaires in Dutch
* Participants with neurological conditions or congenital anatomical anomalies that may cause LUTS, as these individuals are already followed in established transition pathways and cannot be compared to the target population
* Individuals with cognitive impairments that impair their capacity to independently participate in interviews or complete questionnaires.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
