Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pain Rating	The outcome measure will be assessed for up to 4 hours after consent and completion of clinical procedure.	Participants will be asked to rate their pain on the study-specific Lingard pain scale post-cystocopy.; The Lingard pain scale is an outcome measure scaled from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad it could be). The higher the reported rating out of 10, the more pain the participant has experienced.
