Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Patient will be divided into two arms.
Arm 1: Using Chlorhexidine aqueous 0.5% as cleansing agent before procedure clean intermittent self-catheterization (CIC). This is a control group.

Arm 2: Using sterile water as cleansing agent before procedure CIC. This is an intervention group.

All patient / caretaker will be teach regarding CIC technique during clinic visit. Patient will be divide into group by choosing opaque envelop which contain group assignment. Randomization done by third party via computer generated randomization.

Material for intervention is a sterile water. 20 ml of sterile water is used to clean the urethra orifice using the three clean cotton wool. Meanwhile for control group is 20 ml of chlorhexidine aqueous 0.5% is used to clean the urethra orifice before CIC . Procedure CIC will be teach by investigator during clinic visit. Investigator has 7 years experiences in paediatric fraternity. Mode of teaching is via face to face learning.

Number of teaching is once during clinic visit before the starting the study. This is because all patients/parents were taught before the initiation of CIC procedure. Frequency of CIC is 4-5 times per day. Patient and parents are advised to adhere to frequency of doing CIC at home. Adherence to frequency of CIC is monitored by own diary and shown to investigator during clinic visit for urine sampling.

Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Once patient/parents consented. They will choose opaque conceal envelope which contain group assignment.
Adequate solution will be provided to patient base on group assignment
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Computer generated randomization done by third party. Forty six opaque conceal envelope was prepared which contain the assignment group; 23 are from controlled group and 23 are from intervention group.
