NCT00869427 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Last updated 2010-07-05

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

After spinal cord injury, patients have frequent urinary tract infections (UVI). Vitamin C is usually prescribed to prevent such infection, but the efficacy of the treatment is poorly documented. In the study, patients will be randomised either to receive vitamin C daily, or not, for one year, and clinical episodes of UVI will be registered. The null hypothesis is that vitamin C will not reduce the number of UVI episodes by 30%.
