Study Summary

This trial will investigate whether using a heating pad during cystoscopy/UDS reduces patient discomfort.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults who can consent and understand English or Spanish, needing cystoscopy or urodynamic tests but not other treatments like bladder biopsy at the same time. It's not for those refusing participation, with contraindications to these tests, or with spinal cord injuries/lack of sensation.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing if using a heating pad reduces discomfort during cystoscopy or urodynamic studies compared to a sham (fake) heating pad. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the real or sham heating pad during their procedure.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves an electrical heating pad versus a sham device, side effects are minimal but may include skin irritation from the heat source. The emotional distress from procedures might also vary between individuals.
