Patient Satisfaction of Virtual vs In-Person Workup and Treatment of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms.
IRB: #12530 Prospective, Randomized Study to Assess Clinical Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction of Virtual vs. In-Person Workup and Treatment of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms
Indiana University
60 participants
Aug 30, 2022
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This study is being done to compare usefulness of data collected in uroflowmetry, a test that measures the amount of urine released from the body, at home versus in the doctor's office. Additionally, investigators are assessing patient satisfaction when completing a virtual visit for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), related to prostatic enlargement, compared to an in person visit. The three devices being investigated have not been used in the home setting to make urinary measurements as is typically done in clinic. The goal is to test the effectiveness and accuracy of these devices compared to our standard clinical practices and demonstrate their ability to provide useful information in the home setting.
