Summary

This trial is testing a new tool to help spina bifida patients and their urologists work together to identify goals for treating urinary and fecal incontinence. The tool will help patients communicate their symptoms and what they hope to achieve, so that the most appropriate treatment can be determined.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 8-17 with spina bifida who experience urinary and fecal incontinence, are followed at Riley Hospital Pediatric Urology Clinic, have a legal guardian as their primary caregiver, possess normal to mildly impaired cognitive development, can read English, and plan to receive care at the clinic throughout the study. It excludes those with significant cognitive impairment or recent genitourinary/bowel procedures.
What is being tested?
The trial is developing an interactive tool that helps children with spina bifida and their urologists set personal goals for managing urinary and fecal incontinence. This tool aims to shift focus from traditional clinical targets to personalized patient experiences and quality of life improvements.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves the use of an interactive goal-setting tool rather than medication or invasive treatments, there are no direct medical side effects associated with its use.
