Trial Outcomes & Findings for Impact of Catheter Size on Peri-Operative Pain After Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy (NCT NCT04098809)

NCT ID: NCT04098809

Last Updated: 2019-12-26

Results Overview

Catheter related pain was measured using a visual analog score rating mean post-operative pain on a scale from 1 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). The lower the score the better the outcome.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: week 6

The International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS) is based on the answers to seven questions concerning urinary symptoms and one question concerning quality of life. Each question concerning urinary symptoms allows the patient to choose one out of six answers indicating increasing severity of the particular symptom. The answers are assigned points from 0 to 5. The total score can therefore range from 0 to 35 (asymptomatic to very symptomatic).The lower the score the better the outcome.
