An interventional study of Modified Cystoscopy and Routine Cystoscopy in Hematuria, Bladder Cancer and Bladder Disease, sponsored by Western University, Canada. Completed at 1 site in Canada. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-04-27.

The goal of this project is to improve patient experience of cystoscopy using a non-pharmacologic modification of procedure. Cystoscopy is a common outpatient procedure for urology patients and is usually performed without sedation. However, there is limited research into reduction of patient discomfort throughout this procedure. The proposed modification technique was selected based on a well-documented psychological phenomenon in which only particular moments over the course of an aversive event determine the resultant perception of the experience. It is hypothesized that implementation of the technique will decrease the recalled pain intensity of the cystoscopy.
Exclusion Criteria:
Behavioral: Routine Cystoscopy
Behavioral: Modified Cystoscopy
The objective of this study is to examine whether a non-pharmacologic modification in procedure of cystoscopies improves patient perception of pain and discomfort.
