Conditions

Pain After Urodynamic Testing

Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to determine if taking phenazopyridine (AZO) at the time of urodynamic study testing will decrease pain experienced by patients after undergoing urodynamic testing.

Interventions

DRUGPhenazopyridine Hydrochloride 99.5 MG

Experimental arm to take two 99.5 mg phenazopyridine hydrochloride by mouth for a total of 199mg immediately prior to start of urodynamic testing

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Difference in pain scores, as measured by visual analog scale between study groups at 4 to 6 hours after urodynamic testing4 to 6 hours after testingScores are measured on a 100mm VAS. The VAS ranges from 0 to 100 with 0 indicating no pain and higher scores indicating greater pain.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Difference in anxiety scores, as measured by visual analog scale between study groups at predetermined time points.baseline (immediately prior to testing), immediately after testing, 4 to 6 hours after testingScores are measured on a 100mm VAS. The VAS ranges from 0 to 100 with 0 indicating no anxiety and higher scores indicating greater anxiety.
