简要总结
The goal of the DIVA trial is to test the effectiveness of at-home diaphragmatic breathing exercises with bladder hygiene education in female patients with symptoms of difficulty urinating (dysfunctional voiding). It aims to answer how effective are at-home diaphragmatic breathing exercises for dysfunctional voiding. Researchers will compare two groups of participants (a group using diaphragmatic breathing exercises with bladder hygiene education versus a group using just bladder hygiene education alone) for a total of 4 weeks.
Participants will complete weekly surveys on their symptoms.
详细描述
BACKGROUND: Dysfunctional voiding causes lower urinary tract symptoms of incomplete bladder emptying, weak urinary stream, and urinary hesitancy or delay. Often, patients search the internet for at-home methods of improving bladder emptying. However, diaphragmatic breathing, with and without pelvic floor physical therapy, is not well-studied in adults. The goal is to analyze the effect of low-cost, at-home diaphragmatic breathing training coupled with bladder hygiene education on dysfunctional voiding in adult patients.
TYPE OF STUDY: Prospective trial HYPOTHESIS: There will be an improvement in voiding symptoms after 4 weeks of at-home diaphragmatic breathing exercises with an educational handout on bladder health versus an educational handout on bladder health in participants with bothersome dysfunctional voiding symptoms.
PRIMARY STUDY AIM: Evaluate the impact of short interval at-home diaphragmatic breathing exercises with an educational handout on bladder health versus an educational handout on bladder health on patient-reported outcomes in participants with dysfunctional voiding using 10-item Lower Urinary Tract Research Network Symptom Index (LURN SI-10).
SECONDARY STUDY AIMS: Evaluate the impact of short interval at-home diaphragmatic breathing exercises with an educational handout on bladder health versus an educational handout on bladder health on patient-reported outcomes in participants with dysfunctional voiding using other patient reported outcomes (LURN SI-10 Item 6 & 7, Urinary Distress Inventory Short Form -6 (UDI-6), UDI-6 Item, Force of Stream (FOS) subjective questioning).
STUDY DESIGN: Prospective Bayesian adaptive randomized trial comparing at-home diaphragmatic breathing exercises in participants seeking care for dysfunctional voiding. After an initial standard-of-care clinic evaluation and after providing informed consent, participants will be enrolled and randomized into two arms (at-home diaphragmatic breathing exercises with an educational hand-out on bladder hygiene versus an educational hand-out on bladder hygiene alone - control). All participants will be asked to complete validated symptom questionnaires of LURN SI-10, UDI-6, GAD-2, and FOS. Responses will be collected at baseline and weekly for a total of 4 weeks with daily exercise logs for those in the exercise group. Statistical analysis plan will be predecided prior to analysis to facilitate interim and final analysis plan and associated stop triggers.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Baseline in the Lower Urinary Tract Network Symptom Index-10 (LURN SI-10) at 4 weeks
时间窗: Baseline and Week 4
The LURN SI-10 is a patient-reported survey with an ordinal scale that ranges from 0-4 with a total scale of 0-38. The patient responses (0-4) x 10/ # of questions answered is used to achieve the total score. Change = Week 4 Score - Baseline Score
次要结局
- Change in Baseline in Generalized Anxiety Disorder - 2 Item (GAD-2) at 4 weeks(Baseline and Week 4)
- Change in Baseline in the patient-reported score of force of stream (FOS) at 4 weeks(Baseline and Week 4)
- Change in Baseline in the Urinary Distress Inventory Short Form (UDI-6) at 4 weeks(Baseline and Week 4)
- Change in Baseline in Composite Score of 2 or more of the following outcomes (FOS, LURN SI-10 Item 6 and 7)(Baseline and Week 4)
