Comparing sitting vs. lying down for a bladder test
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two positions for a bladder test called urodynamics – sitting versus lying on your back. You will have the test in both positions so doctors can see if the position changes the results, which may help make future testing more comfortable and accurate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have a bladder problem (such as trouble emptying or storing urine) that your doctor wants to check with a special test.
- You are able to sit up on your own and can pass urine while sitting.
- You have not had Botox injected into your bladder in the last 9 months.
- You are not allergic to latex or related foods (like bananas, kiwi, figs, or avocado).
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form on your own.

This trial checks whether a new external device can measure bladder pressure accurately compared with the standard bladder test called urodynamics. If you have a neurogenic bladder and are already scheduled for urodynamics, this study may help improve how bladder pressure is measured in routine care.
This study uses a new device to measure your bladder function over a full day, helping doctors better understand urinary symptoms. You might be eligible if you need a standard bladder test and do not have certain conditions like frequent infections or nerve-related bladder problems.
This study tests whether using virtual reality during a urodynamics test (a procedure that checks how well your bladder works) can help reduce anxiety, keep your vital signs (like heart rate) more stable, and make the experience more satisfying. If you qualify, you'll be randomly assigned to have the test with or without VR goggles.
This study checks whether where you are positioned during a bladder test (urodynamic assessment) changes how bladder overactivity is diagnosed. It may help improve how doctors confirm the cause of overactive bladder symptoms in people with multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease.
This study collects normal bladder pressure data from healthy adults using a new device. It helps doctors understand what healthy bladder function looks like, which may improve future care.
This study looks at how the bladder and urethra work during urodynamic testing in people who need that test. It uses ultrasound and pressure measurements to understand bladder function better.
