What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial explores whether a short educational video can help parents and their children better follow treatment advice for urge incontinence, a type of urinary issue. The study compares two groups: one watches the educational video on voiding dysfunction after their urology visit, while the other receives standard care without the video. This trial is suitable for parents of children aged 5-18 who are already potty-trained and visiting a urologist for the first time for voiding issues. Children with complex medical conditions or severe cognitive challenges are not eligible. As an unphased trial, this study provides a unique opportunity for families to contribute to research that could enhance treatment adherence for children with urinary issues.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether participants need to stop taking their current medications.

What prior data suggests that this educational video is safe for use in this study?

Research has shown that educational videos are generally safe for participants. In this study, the treatment involves an educational video about problems with urination. Watching a video poses no physical risks or side effects, unlike drug trials. This method focuses on learning rather than medication. Participants can feel confident that the process is safe and centered on education. ^{1 2 3}

Why are researchers excited about this trial?

Researchers are excited about the educational video for urge incontinence because it offers a fresh approach to patient education. Unlike standard treatments that often rely on in-person consultations and printed materials for behavior modification, this method uses a short, engaging video to convey crucial information. This video format is convenient, can be easily accessed, and may enhance patient understanding and retention of information. By potentially improving patient compliance and outcomes through a simple, scalable solution, this video could revolutionize how we educate patients about managing urge incontinence.

What evidence suggests that this educational video is effective for urge incontinence?

Research has shown that educational videos can help people better understand urinary conditions. In this trial, participants in the "Educational Video" arm will watch a short 3-minute educational video after visiting their urology provider. One study demonstrated that videos helped patients learn about sacral nerve stimulation for bladder problems, indicating that visual aids can improve understanding. This improved understanding can make it easier to follow treatment advice. Educational tools like videos have also boosted patients' confidence in managing their condition. By increasing knowledge and confidence, these videos might help people adhere to treatment plans for urge incontinence. ^{1 4 5}
