Filter by:Background: Cystoscopy is a routine diagnostic test often performed in the outpatient Urology setting. However, patients may sometimes feel pain and anxiety during this procedure. Distraction therapies, including patient preferred music and classical music may reduce pain and anxiety associated with cystoscopy. However, it is unclear if patient preferred music has greater positive outcomes for patients than classical music. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that patient preferred music during flexible cystoscopies will reduce patient self-reported pain and anxiety scores when compared to classical music and absence of music. Objective: To assess whether a patient's preferred music reduces pain and anxiety during cystoscopies when compared to classical music and the absence of music Methods: This is a prospective randomized control study where patients undergoing flexible cystoscopy in the outpatient Urology clinic will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: Preferred music, classical music, or no music for their procedure. Differences in pain and anxiety will be assessed between groups using the Visual Analog Scale and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scale. Potential Benefits: Identifying and understanding non-pharmacological interventions that can reduce pain and anxiety during cystoscopies is an important task that will allow urologists to better manage these patients.
Flexible cystoscopy is routinely performed by urologists. Many patients have concerns to undergo this procedure and expect it to be unpleasant or even painful. Thus, reduction of pain and discomfort during cystoscopy is of great interest, but there is not sufficient evidence regarding the most appropriate conduct of cystoscopy. In this study the impact of lidocaine gel, patient counseling and monitoring regarding pain perception during flexible cystoscopy are investigated.
This will be a prospective trial comparing the perspective gross morphological of bladder tumor assessment done by outpatient flexible cystoscopy performed by resident, inpatient rigid cystoscopy done by senior staff and their prediction of the degree of invasion of bladder tumor plus the prediction of the grade compared with the standard pathological result. Also, assessment of the patient reported outcomes after both flexible and rigid cystoscopy will be done. In the long run of the study, the prognostic gross morphology with recurrence, progression and cancer specific survival will be assessed.
