A high-tech diary aims to cut nighttime bathroom visits without medication
NCT ID NCT07734207
First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a home uroflowmetry device paired with a smartphone app and personalized lifestyle advice can reduce nocturia—waking up to urinate two or more times a night—in adults aged 55 and older. Participants track their voiding patterns and receive real-time feedback, along with guidance on fluid intake and sleep hygiene. The goal is to see if this digital, non-drug approach can improve sleep quality and reduce the need for medication.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a home uroflowmetry device and a voiding diary combined with lifestyle guidance
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a drug-free way to manage nocturia and improve sleep and quality of life for older adults.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply widely. The approach relies on consistent use of the device and diary, which may be challenging for some participants.
