Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Women 18 years or older who are scheduled for urodynamic testing and do not have a known anxiety disorder or current SSRI/SNRI treatment, and have not had a previous urodynamics test.

Probably not a fit

Participants with anxiety disorders or on certain psychiatric medications may not experience benefit from the video intervention.

What this trial studies

This randomized study compares a video-based pre-procedure intervention with standard counseling for women scheduled to undergo urodynamic testing. Participants will complete questionnaires, provide saliva samples for cortisol, and rate anxiety and pain before, during, and after the procedure. Objective and subjective stress markers, along with user experience, will be analyzed to see if the video improves the testing experience. The study aims to determine whether a brief educational video can lessen embarrassment and discomfort associated with urodynamic testing.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience lower anxiety and a smoother, more understandable testing process.

How similar studies have gone: Previous research in related procedures suggests educational materials can reduce pre-procedural anxiety, but data specific to urodynamics is limited.
