“…Heating therapy also resulted in significantly lower anxiety in patients undergoing cystoscopy. These results were consistent with those reported by the cystoscopy [32] and urodynamic studies [33] conducted on women. They reported that heating therapy significantly lowered the state anxiety scores of the study subjects compared to those of the control subjects.…”

“…Heating therapy showed an effective reduction in the score for subjective and objective pain. The results demonstrating relieved pain in the present study are consistent with those of the other two studies on women who underwent cystoscopy in which the experimental group experienced less pain when compared with the control group [32,33]. This pain reduction may have occurred because heating therapy increases blood flow [14,19] and temporarily increases the threshold of pain delivery fibers [43].…”

“…Previous non-pharmacological intervention studies on patients who were undergoing urological procedures involved music therapy [29,35,48], hand-holding or use of a stress ball [30,31], viewing of the cystoscopy video with explanation [49], virtual reality distraction [50], and heating therapy [32,33]. The authors of one study that involved music therapy suggested that music therapy was the most effective intervention for the reduction of pain and anxiety [51].…”

“…Handholding during cystoscopy has also been shown to reduce patients' anxiety, pain, and dissatisfaction [31]. Recently, two studies demonstrated that heating therapy is an effective intervention; however, only females were evaluated in those studies [32,33].…”

“…In general, UDS is divided into two types that include a noninvasive test called free flowmetry and an invasive test called filling cystometry and pressure-flow study. When invasive UDS is performed, a catheterization will be inserted from the external urethral orifice into the bladder to pump water or contrast media into the bladder and record pressure, which can cause tissue damage and introduction of external pathogens and may also generate discomfort, anxiety, pain, distress, hematuria, and urinary tract infection (UTI) for patients [1,[3][4][5].…”

Aim. We aimed to perform a meta-analysis to determine whether antibiotic prophylaxis reduces the incidence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) after urodynamic studies (UDS). Methods. We conducted a systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid, Elsevier, ClinicalKey, Embase, Cochrane Library, Medline, and Wiley Online Library. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the effectiveness of prophylactic antibiotics with placebo or no treatment in preventing UTI after UDS were included. Two reviewers extracted data independently, and RevMan 5.3 software was used to analyze relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Heterogeneity was assessed by the Q test and I 2 test. Results. The final meta-analysis included 1829 patients in 13 RCTs. Compared with the placebo or no treatment group, prophylactic antibiotics could significantly reduce the risk of bacteriuria ( RR = 0.42 , 95% CI: 0.30-0.60) and the risk of symptomatic UTI ( RR = 0.65 , 95% CI: 0.48-0.88). In addition, there was no statistically significant difference in the risk of adverse events ( RR = 4.93 , 95% CI: 0.61-40.05). No significant heterogeneity or publication bias was found in this study. Conclusions. Current evidence showed that prophylactic antibiotics could reduce the risk of asymptomatic bacteriuria and symptomatic UTI after UDS without increasing the incidence of adverse events.

AimsThe working group (WG) initiated by the International Continence Society Standardization Steering Committee and supported by the Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine and Urogenital Reconstruction has revised the (1997) ICS Standard for pressure flow studies.MethodsBased on the ICS standard for developing evidence‐based standards, the WG developed this new ICS standard in the period from May 2020 to December 2022. A draft was posted on the ICS website in January 2023 to facilitate public discussion and the comments received have been incorporated into this final release.ResultsThe WG summarizes the theory and recommends the practice and the terms used for the diagnosis of voiding dysfunction for adult female and male patients without relevant neurological abnormalities, in part 1 of this standard. The WG has also recommended standard principles and parameters for objective and continuous grading of urethral resistance and detrusor voiding contraction on the basis of pressure flow studies in part 2. The recommendations for practice in this part have also the aim to increase the understanding of the physiology as well as the psychology of voiding. The potential effects of the laboratory situation of the test on the voiding as well as the role of the urodynamicist in this regard are discussed. The WG has recommended to use for diagnosis only the voidings that are considered representative by the patient.ConclusionA pressure flow study is the gold standard to assess voiding function and to quantify dysfunction. This part of the standard explains the clinical background, gives recommendations for the execution of a pressure flow study and lists relevant terms, parameters, and units of measurements.
