Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults over 18 scheduled for urodynamic studies due to bladder dysfunction or over 45 scheduled for prostate treatment.

Probably not a fit

Patients with obesity, known neurologic diseases affecting bladder function, or those who have had significant prior pelvic surgeries may not benefit from this study.

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

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a new noninvasive ultrasound method called Quantitative Ultrasound Bladder Vibrometry (QUBV) for assessing detrusor overactivity and aiding in treatment selection for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Participants will undergo QUBV ultrasound concurrently with a urodynamic study as part of their routine clinical care. The goal is to determine if this innovative approach can reliably detect abnormal bladder function.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this method could provide a safer and more effective way to assess bladder dysfunction and guide treatment decisions.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative, similar noninvasive methods have shown promise in other studies, suggesting potential for success.
