Summary
The objective of this randomized prospective study is to evaluate whether viewing an educational video before urodynamic testing reduces anxiety among women undergoing evaluation for pelvic floor or urinary symptoms. The primary research question is: Does viewing a short educational video before urodynamic testing reduce objective and subjective anxiety levels and improve the overall testing experience? Participants scheduled to undergo urodynamic testing as part of routine clinical care will be randomly assigned to either an educational video intervention or standard pre-procedure counseling alone. Participants will complete brief questionnaires, provide saliva samples for cortisol measurement as an objective biomarker of stress, and report anxiety and pain levels before, during, and after urodynamic testing.
