Community-based approach using digital tools and behavioral guidance for nocturia

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In this cluster-randomized pilot, older adults with nocturia at least twice per night will be assigned to either an intervention that uses a voiding diary, a non-contact home uroflowmetry device, personalized lifestyle advice, and sleep/mood screening, or a usual-care control. The study leverages a community-based setting in Yunlin to collect real-time feedback and monitor voiding patterns via digital tools. Outcomes focus on nocturnal void frequency and quality of life, with exploratory aims about dependence on medications. Safety considerations include exclusion of acute infections, unstable heart failure, certain metabolic abnormalities, recent urological surgery, and active major psychiatric or neurological conditions. Recruitment targets participants who can use LINE or have aid from a caregiver to complete the electronic diary.
