About this study

Official title: A Randomized Comparative Study Correlating Cough Stress Test With Urodynamics And 24 Hour Pad Test In the Evaluation of Stress Urinary Incontinence

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized comparative study in which patients are randomized to one of four different bladder volumes and a Cough Stress Test (CST) is performed in both the standing and sitting positions. The goal is to assess the agreement of each CST method with both urodynamics diagnosis of Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) and the 24-hour pad test. The primary outcome is to determine what CST method best correlated with either test in the diagnosis of SUI.

Read the detailed description

This multicenter, prospective randomized study is approved by the Institutional Review Boards at both the University Hospitals Case Medical Center, Cleveland, OH, USA and MetroHealth Hospital, Cleveland, OH, USA (Identifiers 07-11-37 and FWA00003938, respectively). Adult women who presented to the Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS) outpatient clinics at both the University Hospitals Case Medical Center and MetroHealth Hospital with symptoms of stress, urge, or mixed urinary incontinence and who were recommended by the evaluating staff to undergo urodynamic studies (UDS) are eligible. The staff physician will approach the patient for participation in this study after the standard clinic visit is completed and the initial diagnosis is made. A research coordinator will then explain the study and obtain informed consent if the patient agrees to participate. The patient will then be given instructions for a 24 hour pad test and standardized pads to use. The patient will also be given instructions for a three day voiding diary along with routine instruction regarding the urodynamic procedure. The patient will be asked to perform the 24 hour pad test the day prior to the UDS appointment. The three day voiding diary will be performed during a typical and sequential three day period during the week prior to the UDS. Patients will then asked to bring these items to the UDS appointment.

During the initial appointment with the study coordinator, patients will be randomized to 4 groups (A, B, C, and D). Patients in group A will be scheduled to undergo Cough Stress Test (CST) with a comfortably full bladder. This will be subjectively reported by the patient. Patients in group B will be scheduled to undergo CST with an empty bladder after straight catheterization. Group C patients will be scheduled to undergo CST with a bladder infused with 200 cc of saline. Patients in group D will be scheduled to undergo CST with the bladder filled to half functional capacity as determined from the largest voided volume recorded in the patient's voiding diary. CST will be performed in the standing and sitting position for each patient in each of the above groups. The sequence of performing the standing and sitting CST will be randomly assigned for each patient.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Correlation of cough stress test with urodynamics

    To define how different accepted cough stress test methods correlated with urodynamics in the evaluation of stress urinary incontinence.

    Measured: 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 24hour pad weight

    To assess if there was any benefit to performing a 24 hour pad test with or without the different cough stress test modalities.

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cough Stress Test in people with Stress Urinary Incontinence, run by University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation of cough stress test with urodynamics (time frame: 30 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Apr 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
