About this study

Official title: Do Increased Levels of Anxiety Decrease the Reproducibility of Symptoms During Urodynamic Studies in Women?

This study will look at how pre-test anxiety levels affect the reproducibility of symptoms during routine urodynamic testing in women. Urodynamics is a test that assesses the function of the lower urinary tract, including the bladder.

Read the detailed description

The results of urodynamic tests often determine treatment for patients, which may include bladder retraining, medication and/or surgery. Thus, it is important for the results of urodynamics to be accurate and representative of the patient's symptoms outside of the clinic.

Pre-test anxiety levels in women undergoing urodynamics will be measured using a validated questionnaire HADS (Hospital anxiety and depression scale). The patient, prior to their routine urodynamics test, will fill out this self-administered questionnaire.

Reproducibility of patient symptoms will be measured using a non-validated quantitative bladder test assessment. The patient will fill out this self-administered quantitative bladder assessment after their urodynamics test.

The pre-test anxiety and symptom reproducibility variables will be correlated against each other to assess whether there is correlation between the two. A Spearman Rho test will be used to assess the strength of the relationship.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Correlate pre-test anxiety scores with the reproducibility of symptom scores from urodynamic studies in women

    Measured: 9 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The number of women who have their typical symptoms reproduced during urodynamic studies

    Measured: 9 months

  2. Number of women with abnormal (i.e. not normal) urodynamic diagnosis and high pre-test anxiety scores

    Measured: 9 months

  3. Number of women with abnormal (i.e. not normal) urodynamic diagnosis with low reproducibility of symptom scores

    Measured: 9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anxiety and Overactive Bladder, run by Sandwell & West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlate pre-test anxiety scores with the reproducibility of symptom scores from urodynamic studies in women (time frame: 9 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Oct 2016.
