Self-management Compared to Care-as-usual for Men With Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms

Sponsor: University Medical Center Groningen

Summary

Research question: Does offering an online self-management program lead to more efficient use of care by men with urinary complaints? Hypothesis: Many men with urinary symptoms receive medication from their GP. Advice on how to self-manage complaints is often skipped. This while self-management is effective. By offering self-management instead of visiting a GP the use of care by men with urinary complaints may decrease and treatment may become more efficient. Study design: Men are randomized to receive either care-as-usual by their GP or the online self-management program. Men will be followed for six months and the cost-effectiveness of the online self-management intervention will be compared to the care-as-usual
