Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?Urinary incontinence is a common health problem that significantly affects the quality of life of older people. The risk of urinary incontinence is increased in people living with dementia. Many products aid the management of urinary incontinence, with many people choosing to manage incontinence with containment products. The purpose of this study is to examine and compare two containment products - pull ups and style briefs with tapes, in self-management of urinary incontinence in people living with dementia.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for older individuals with mild to moderate dementia who can use the toilet on their own or with a reminder, move around (with aids if needed), and are currently using products for moderate urinary incontinence. They must have a caregiver willing to help with the study. People who need daily help applying these products, don't fit the product sizes, can't signal when they need to go, have severe bowel incontinence, live in nursing homes or might enter one soon cannot join.

Treatment Details

The CUPID trial is comparing two types of incontinence products: styled briefs with tapes versus pull ups. The goal is to see which one better helps manage urinary incontinence for people living with dementia. Participants will be randomly assigned to use either styled briefs with tapes or pull ups and their effectiveness will be evaluated.
