An interventional study of Voiding position - Standing in the shower and Voiding position - Sitting on the toilet in Post-void Residual Volume, Recatheterization and Pain, sponsored by Assuta Ashdod Hospital. Recruiting at 2 sites in Israel. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 99 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-03-25.
Sponsored by Assuta Ashdod Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if voiding in a standing position in the shower, rather than sitting on a toilet, may reduce pain associated with the act of voiding, thereby facilitating micturition and decreasing both post-void residual volume and the risk of subsequent urinary retention in women that underwent benign vaginal surgeries.
2,219 studies on the registry are indexed under Pain; 917 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 100 is above the median of 70 across 1,904 interventional studies indexed under Pain.
