Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether utilization of the bag squeeze technique during flexible cystoscopy changes pain scores using a study questionnaire designed by the team which comprises a validated Lingard pain rating scale.
Interventions

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Rating | The outcome measure will be assessed for up to 4 hours after consent and completion of clinical procedure. | Participants will be asked to rate their pain on the study-specific Lingard pain scale post-cystocopy. The Lingard pain scale is an outcome measure scaled from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad it could be). The higher the reported rating out of 10, the more pain the participant has experienced. |
