Summary

This trial aims to find out if taking phenazopyridine (AZO) during urodynamic testing can reduce the pain that patients feel after the testing.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals experiencing pain (dysuria) after urodynamic testing, which checks how well the bladder, sphincters, and urethra hold and release urine. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided.
What is being tested?
The study tests if Phenazopyridine Hydrochloride (99.5 MG), commonly known as AZO, can reduce pain following urodynamic studies compared to usual care without this medication.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of Phenazopyridine may include headache, dizziness, stomach cramps, or an upset stomach. It might also cause a reddish-orange discoloration of the urine.
