Urodynamics versus videourodynamics for women with recurrent stress urinary incontinence

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

Researchers will perform a prospective randomized pilot of 30 women referred to the tertiary urological service at University College London Hospitals. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard urodynamic testing (UDS) or videourodynamics (VUDS) before receiving medical and surgical treatments tailored to the findings. The comparison aims to see whether adding imaging during urodynamics changes diagnostic classification, treatment choices, and short-term outcomes after repeat surgery. The study emphasizes feasibility and preliminary outcome data because existing evidence on these invasive tests is limited and controversial.
