NCT ID NCT05086900
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study aimed to develop and test two new questionnaires for people with recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). The Recurrent UTI Symptom Scale measures symptom severity, while the Recurrent UTI Impact Questionnaire looks at how the condition affects daily life, work, and relationships. Researchers worked with 283 adults who have recurrent UTIs to create these tools, which could eventually help doctors and researchers track patient experiences and treatment effects more accurately.
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, these questionnaires could help doctors and researchers better understand how recurrent UTIs affect patients' daily lives and measure whether treatments are working.
- What could go wrong
- This is a questionnaire development study, not a treatment trial. The tools need further testing in other groups before they can be widely used.
