Summary
As a collaborative effort between MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital (NRH)/MedStar
Health Research Institute (MHRI), Children's National Medical Center (CNMC) Department of
Urology, Children's Research Institute (CRI) Center for Genetic Medicine Research, and
Georgetown University Medical Center, the overall objective of this study is to develop,
validate, and assess a patient-initiated, probiotics-based, self management protocol that is
initiated at the time of urinary symptoms. The self-management protocol will allow patients
to manage urinary symptoms and avoid potentially unnecessary antibiotic use, and provide a
readily-available means of maintaining health, function, and independence throughout the
lifespan.
