Summary
As a collaborative effort between MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital (NRH), Children's
National Medical Center (CNMC) Department of Urology, Children's Research Institute (CRI)
Center for Genetic Medicine Research, Georgetown University, and MedStar Georgetown
University Hospital, the overall objective of this study is to develop, validate, and assess
a patient-initiated, probiotic-based, selfmanagement 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.
