Zusammenfassung:Aims To systematically assess all available evidence on efficacy and safety of vanilloids for treating neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods This systematic review and meta‐analysis was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Studies were identified by electronic search of Cochrane register, Embase, Medline, Scopus, (last search January 8, 2016). Results After screening of 7848 s, 4 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 3 prospective cohort studies were included. Pooled data from three RCTs evaluating intravesical capsaicin showed the standardized mean difference to be −2.16 (95% confidence interval [CI] −2.87 to −1.45) in incontinence episodes per 24 h and −0.54 (95%CI −1.03 to −0.05) in voids per 24 h. There was no statistically significant effect on maximum cystometric capacity and maximum storage detrusor pressure. Overall, adverse events were reported by >50% of the patients, most commonly were pelvic pain, facial flush, worsening of incontinence, autonomic dysreflexia, urinary tract infection and haematuria. Risk of bias and confounding was relevant in both RCTs and non‐RCTs. Conclusions Preliminary data suggest that intravesical vanilloids might be effective for treating NLUTD in patients with MS. However, the safety profile seems unfavorable, the overall quality of evidence is low and no licensed substance is currently available warranting well‐designed, adequately sampled and properly powered RCTs.
