Summary
This study tests whether changing the environment—by playing relaxing music or dimming the lights—can lower anxiety in adults undergoing a urodynamic study, a test that measures how well the bladder stores and releases urine. About 220 participants with ongoing bladder symptoms will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: standard lighting, dim lighting, music, or both. Anxiety levels will be measured before and after the procedure using a standard questionnaire.
