Smiley face scale tested for prostate symptoms
NCT ID NCT07269652
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a simple smiley-face tool (HappyOrNot) or a visual scale (VAS) can effectively measure urinary symptoms in men with an enlarged prostate. One hundred men from two hospitals filled out these quick tests, and the results were compared to standard symptom questionnaires and urine flow measurements. The goal was to see if these simpler methods could replace or complement traditional assessments.
