Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis: Multichannel urodynamic testing is considered to be the gold standard for evaluation of lower urinary tracts symptoms in women. The objective of this study was to assess the level of pain associated with this test.

Methods: We reviewed charts of women who underwent multichannel urodynamic testing for lower urinary tract symptoms and recorded pain levels using a validated visual analog pain scale of 0-10 before, during, and 1.5 h after the test.

Results: We identified 50 patients who underwent the test. Pain level increased mildly but significantly during the urodynamic test (1.24 +/- 0.9 vs 0.02 +/- 0.14 p < 0.001) and decreased thereafter (0.1 +/- 0.35, p < 0.001).

Conclusions: Multichannel urodynamic testing is associated with a low but significant level of pain, which generally abates shortly after the procedure. No correlation seems to exist between the degree of pain and various clinical and pelvic floor parameters.

多通道尿动力学测试有多痛苦?

介绍和假设:多通道尿动力学测试被认为是评估女性下尿路症状的金标准。本研究的目的是评估与该测试相关的疼痛程度。方法:我们回顾了接受下尿路症状多通道尿动力学测试的女性的图表，并在测试前、测试中和测试后1.5小时使用经过验证的视觉模拟疼痛量表0-10记录疼痛水平。结果:我们确定了50例接受该检查的患者。疼痛水平在尿动力学试验期间轻微但显著升高(1.24 +/- 0.9 vs 0.02 +/- 0.14 p < 0.001)，随后下降(0.1 +/- 0.35,p < 0.001)。结论:多通道尿动力学检查与低但显著的疼痛水平相关，通常在手术后不久减轻。疼痛程度与各种临床和盆底参数之间似乎不存在相关性。
