Laughing gas may ease bladder test anxiety, study finds
NCT ID NCT05883332
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether giving low-dose nitrous oxide (laughing gas) during a urodynamic study (a test for urinary symptoms) changes key bladder measurements like capacity and pressure. 19 adults scheduled for the test took part. If the measurements stay the same, nitrous oxide could be a safe way to reduce anxiety and pain during the procedure.
