Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Patients who will undergo bladder surgery that requires an indwelling bladder catheter after surgery.
  • * Age Range: Four to 8 years of age are eligible for the study.
  • * Patients who have had prior bladder surgery.
  • * Patients who have neurologic disease that could impair bladder sensation.
  • * Patients who are already taking antimuscarinic or antispasmodic medications.
  • * Patients with glaucoma, any neurologic disease, dementia, impaired mentation or disorder of the central nervous system.
  • * Patients taking any medication that affects the central nervous system such as antidepressant, anxiolytic or antipsychotic medications.
  • * Less than four years of age cannot have the transdermal patch due to fixed dose. Over 8 years of age: less than 5% of our patients, who undergo this surgery, are over 8 years of age and is usually a rare adolescent. Data in an older cohort may confuse the results since they respond differently to bladder surgery due to larger incision and longer hospital stay with a catheter.
