Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of pre-procedure patient reminder systems on patient satisfaction, preparedness, and anxiety among patients undergoing urodynamics studies. The rate of successful procedure completion will be compared between a prospective intervention group and a historical control group to determine whether the intervention improves procedural success and healthcare delivery.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Age 18 years or older
  2. Sex assigned at birth: Female.
  3. English-speaking
  4. Scheduled to undergo a urodynamics study at the OSU Upper Arlington Outpatient Clinic, OSU New Albany Outpatient Clinic, or OSU Eye and Ear Institute
  5. Ability to access a telephone
  6. Active MyChart account
  7. Ability to provide
  8. Documented post-residual volume of less than 150 mL
  9. Ability to be reached by telephone after three call attempts
  10. Negative point-of-care urinary tract infection on the day of the scheduled procedure (SOC)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria:

  1. Under 18 years of age
  2. Patients with structural causes of urinary retention/incomplete bladder emptying (defined as a post-void residual >150ml) or a positive point-of-care urinary tract infection on the day of the procedure.
  3. Men are excluded as the population of interest is the female urogynecology population in both urology and obstetrics and gynecology.
  4. Patients without access to a telephone or an active MyChart account are excluded because the intervention relies on telephone calls and electronic messaging for delivery of pre-procedure education and reminders.
  5. Individuals who cannot be reached by telephone are excluded because they cannot receive the intervention.
  6. Non-English speaking individuals are excluded because they will not be able to receive the standardized phone call in English and will not be able to complete the .

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    using patient reminder systems before scheduled urodynamics studies

    The study intervention will include all participating patients receiving a phone call from a study team member reading from a script before their scheduled appointment. The phone call will involve consenting the patient for the study and a reminder to come in for the study with a comfortably full bladder, avoiding utilizing the lobby restroom before the appointment.

    Other: Patient reminder system

  • No intervention
    not using patient reminder systems before scheduled urodynamics studies

    Participants for the historical control group will be identified through retrospective review of electronic medical records of patients who previously underwent scheduled urodynamics studies.

Interventions

  • OtherPatient reminder system

    Using patient reminder systems before scheduled urodynamics studies on patient satisfaction, preparedness, anxiety, and successful completion of the procedure to improve healthcare delivery by comparing a prospective intervention group with a historical control group.

06

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percent decrease in urodynamics procedure completion failure rate in patients who received the reminder system before scheduled urodynamics procedures vs. patients who did not receive the reminder

    Completion failure is defined as a uroflow less than 150 mL

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of the urodynamics study (less than 1 week)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Evaluate anxiety before and after a urodynamics (UDS) procedure after delivery of a patient reminder system.

    Anxiety is measured by patient completion of ST-STAI before and after the UDS study.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of the urodynamics study (less than 1 week)

  2. Evaluate patient satisfaction and preparedness before and after a urodynamic study after delivery of a patient reminder system.

    Patient satisfaction and preparedness for the procedure will be assessed using Likert-style items via a survey issued to patients before and after the UDS study.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of the urodynamics study (less than 1 week)

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Nov 2026; primary completion for Jun 2027, 7 months later.

Of 162 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Pelvic Organ Prolapse, half reached primary completion within 22 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 43. This study's planned 7 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 179 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 48.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 24, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
