Smartphone reminders for a full bladder during prostate radiation
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a reminder app that helps patients with prostate cancer keep their bladder comfortably full during radiation therapy, which may improve treatment accuracy. It is a simple, low-tech intervention that you can use from your own phone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and are scheduled for hypofractionated radiation therapy (a shorter course of radiation).
- You have a smartphone and are comfortable using it.
- Your initial treatment planning scan showed a bladder volume under 200 ml (about a cup), meaning you might need extra reminders to fill your bladder.
- You are a man aged 18 or older.
- You are willing to follow the study procedures and sign a consent form.
