Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Near infrared light (NIRL), using a Vielight 810 device, will be delivered to participants through a diode placed in their nasal cavity for the duration of their second cystometric fill (up to 25 minutes). Cystometry is a test used to look for problems with the filling and emptying of the bladder. During the filling phase of the test (cystometric fill), the bladder is filled with saline solution, bladder pressures measured and the patient asked about their urge to void. This process will occur during participants' Urology outpatient clinic appointments and will only occur once.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 306824 0
Change in detrusor pressure at first involuntary detrusor contraction.
Detrusor pressure (the pressure generated by the walls of the bladder) is calculated by subtracting the intra-abdominal pressure (measured via a rectal catheter) from the intravesical pressure (measured via a bladder catheter). The first involuntary detrusor contraction is the first occurrence of the bladder muscle squeezing without warning causing an urgent need to release urine; it is seen graphically during urodynamic assessment.
Timepoint [1] 306824 0
First and second cystometric fills; the latter being with NIRL insitu.
Primary outcome [2] 308232 0
Change in bladder volume at first involuntary detrusor contraction.
Bladder volume refers to the millilitres of saline instilled into the bladder during cystometric filling. The first involuntary detrusor contraction is the first occurrence of the bladder muscle squeezing without warning causing an urgent need to release urine; it is seen graphically during urodynamic assessment.
Timepoint [2] 308232 0
First and second cystometric fills; the latter being with NIRL insitu.
Primary outcome [3] 308233 0
Occurrence of an adverse event.
i) A clinically significant rise in systolic or diastolic blood pressure defined as >=30mmHg.
Measured using an automated blood pressure machine with cuff fitted to a participant's
upper arm.
ii) Any unintended and untoward incident reported by the patient.
Timepoint [3] 308233 0
i) Immediately prior to, during and immediately following application of NIRL.
ii) During, immediately following and 15 minutes post application of NIRL.
Secondary outcome [1] 349811 0
Change in maximum cystometric capacity.

Maximum cystometric capacity refers to the volume (in millilitres) that the bladder muscle can tolerate before the participant experiences a strong, uncontrollable desire to urinate.
Timepoint [1] 349811 0
First and second cystometric fills; the latter being with NIRL insitu.
Secondary outcome [2] 369083 0
Change in bladder volume at strong desire to void.
Bladder volume refers to the millilitres of saline instilled into the bladder during cystometric filling. Strong desire to void is the point during cystometric filling at which the patient reports a strong sensation of the need to void.
Timepoint [2] 369083 0
First and second cystometric fills; the latter being with NIRL insitu.

Statistical methods / analysis
Continuous variables will be summarised using mean (SD) or median (IQR) and categorical variables summarised with frequencies and percentages. Given the small sample size, median differences in the four endpoints of interest pre and post NIRL will be calculated using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and 95% confidence intervals presented, A two-sided alpha significance level of 0.05 will be used as the cut point for statistical significance.

Summary
Brief summary
Overactive bladder is a term describing the clinical problem of urinary urgency +/-urgency incontinence. It is a bothersome condition that occurs equally in men and women. OAB places a burden on both the individual and the healthcare system. It is associated with reduced quality of life, increased risk of falls, high healthcare utilisation, personal cost and lower work productivity.

This research study is the first part of a two-part study that aims to establish whether intervention with Near Infrared Red Light therapy delivered via a nasal prong can help to reduce the symptoms of overactive bladder. It is hoped that this research will lead to a more effective and standardised treatment plan for people with overactive bladder.

The research intervention (Near Infrared Light) has successfully been used for other conditions where people are in pain.
