Study Details

The objective of this randomized prospective study is to evaluate whether viewing an educational video before urodynamic testing reduces anxiety among women undergoing evaluation for pelvic floor or urinary symptoms. The primary research question is: Does viewing a short educational video before urodynamic testing reduce objective and subjective anxiety levels and improve the overall testing experience? Participants scheduled to undergo urodynamic testing as part of routine clinical care will be randomly assigned to either an educational video intervention or standard pre-procedure counseling alone. Participants will complete brief questionnaires, provide saliva samples for cortisol measurement as an objective biomarker of stress, and report anxiety and pain levels before, during, and after urodynamic testing.

Arms

  • Experimental: Study group- video
    Participants in the intervention arm will watch a short educational video explaining the purpose, steps, and sensations expected during urodynamic testing. They will then undergo the standard urodynamic procedure. Anxiety will be assessed using questionnaires and saliva cortisol samples before, during, and after the test, along with self-reported pain and discomfort levels.Video before urodynamics; anxiety measured by surveys and cortisol.
  • No Intervention: Control group- No video
    Participants in the control arm will receive the standard verbal explanation routinely provided before urodynamic testing, without viewing the educational video. They will then undergo the same assessments as the intervention group, including questionnaires, saliva cortisol collection, and self-reported measures of anxiety, pain, and discomfort at the same time points.

Primary Outcome Measure

Anxiety represented by cortisol levels [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 hour ]
