Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Urinary leakage: Urinary leakage will be assessed through the bladder diary records and absorbent testing (pad test), performed before and after the use of each penile clamp; from the realization of a range of at least 5% in the pre and post intervention measurements.;Safety: Safety will be assessed by Doppler ultrasound of the penis, daily record for evaluation of adverse events and skin assessment; demonstrated from the reduced blood flow in the penile arteries below 10 ml / sec; presence of adverse events and skin changes associated with the use of penile clamp. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Impact on quality of life: The impact on quality of life will be assessed by the ICIQ-SF (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form) and WHOQOL-Bref (World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref), comparing the difference in the scores before and after use of each clamp. ;Adherence: The adherence will be assessed by recording the frequency of urination and urinated volumes in the bladder diary and the placement hours and withdrawing of penile clamp. The adhesion percentage is calculated by the following formula:% adherence = (NXA / 28) x 100 where: N is the is the number of days used the clamp for 8 hours over the last seven days and A is the number of times who opened the clamp in 8 hours (expected are four times) in the last seven days.;Satisfaction: The satisfaction will be assessed through a specific questionnaire, covering items related to the comfort and effectiveness of penile clamps, developed and validated for this purpose. | — |
