ABSTRACT |
Objective |
To evaluate the impact of catheter type and size on patient-reported pain, anxiety, and adverse events during intravesical therapy.
Methods |
A total of 200 patients were screened, and 179 were randomized into 4 groups: Foley 12 Fr ( n = 31), Foley 8 Fr ( n = 60), Nelaton 12 Fr ( n = 46), and Nelaton 8 Fr ( n = 42). Pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), anxiety using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and complications were recorded for 1 week following instillation.
Results |
Compared with Foley 8 Fr, pain scores were significantly higher with Nelaton 12 Fr (OR 713.4; 95% CI 231.5-2424.7; P < .001). Male sex was independently associated with increased pain (OR 3.8; 95% CI 1.7-8.5; P = .001). Anxiety severity was higher only in the Nelaton 12 Fr group (OR 2.6; 95% CI 1.24-5.35; P = .012). There were no statistically significant differences in overall complication rates among the groups.
Conclusion |
Catheter type and size significantly influence pain and anxiety during intravesical therapy, with smaller rubber catheters (Foley 8 Fr) providing the most favorable patient experience.
