What this trial studies
This research evaluates the relationship between various treatments for urogynaecological problems, such as pelvic floor dysfunction and cancer, and the resulting patient-reported outcomes, including psychological states and quality of life. Participants will be recruited from Singleton Hospital and will provide baseline measures prior to treatment, followed by assessments at multiple time points post-treatment. The study aims to correlate objective physical outcomes with self-reported health measures and psychological factors to better understand treatment impacts.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are consenting patients referred for pelvic floor problems at Singleton Hospital in Swansea, UK.
Not a fit: Patients under 18 years old will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance treatment approaches for urogynaecological conditions by integrating patient-reported outcomes into clinical practice.
How similar studies have performed: While similar studies have explored patient-reported outcomes in urogynaecological treatments, this specific approach of correlating psychological factors with treatment outcomes is relatively novel.
