NCT ID NCT07375641

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how age and sex influence pain before and after a first-time flexible cystoscopy (a thin tube inserted into the bladder). Researchers will ask 150 adults to rate their expected and actual pain using a simple 0-10 scale. The goal is to better understand who might need extra support during the procedure, helping doctors tailor their approach and reduce anxiety.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could help doctors better predict and manage pain during cystoscopy, leading to more personalized care and less anxiety for patients.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not testing a new treatment. Results may not apply to everyone, and pain perception is subjective, so findings might not lead to clear changes in practice.
