About this study
Official title: Incorporation of Mindfulness Exercises to Reduce Anxiety and Pain During Urodynamic Testing: a Randomized Controlled Trial
In this pilot study the investigators attempt to answer the question, does mindfulness exercises before urodynamic testing reduce patient's perception of anxiety or pain?
Read the detailed description
The subjects are being asked to consider participation in this research study. The purpose of this study is to see if incorporating mindfulness exercises prior to urodynamic studies (UDS) results in less pain, anxiety and discomfort.
The participants will be guided through a mindfulness meditation exercise by a licensed professional. During this exercise participants will be asked to focus attention on breathing, physical sensations, and thoughts. This exercise will last for approximately 10 minutes in which participants will not be asked to engage in any physical activity other than sitting and breathing. The participants will be randomly assigned to one of 2 treatment plans. Randomization is a process like flipping a coin and means the chance of being assigned to either of the plans. One treatment plan includes undergoing mindfulness exercises prior to your UDS evaluation. The other treatment plan includes simply undergoing the UDS evaluation.
After the participants UDS evaluation, questions will be asked about the urodynamic procedure. The participants will be asked to answer questions on a UDS and anxiety questionnaire which pertain to emotional and physical experiences during the procedure.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Anxiety during urodynamics as measured the STAI-6.
The STAI-6, State Trait Anxiety Inventory, is a validated questionnaire that measures anxiety. The total score from the STAI-6 will be used with a range of score from 4-24. Higher scores indicate higher level of anxiety.
Measured: Day 1
Secondary outcomes (2)
Positive and negative emotions as measured by the urodynamic questionnaire
The urodynamic questionnaire is clinically validated with participants self-reporting emotions fear, discomfort, embarrassment, and if the test was better or worse than expected. The questions are analyzed individually with score ranked on a likert scale of 1-4. Higher score indicate higher levels of that particular emotion.
Measured: Day 1
Pain as measured by the VAS
The visual analog scale (VAS) for pain total score will be recorded. The minimum and Maximum scores range from 1-10. Higher scores indicate more pain.
Measured: Day 1
