Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) Domain Scores
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
The KHQ is a valid and reliable patient reported outcome measure for the assessment of quality of life in subjects with urinary incontinence that contains the following 8 domains: general health perception, incontinence impact, role limitations, physical limitations, social limitations, personal relations, emotions, sleep/energy, and severity measures. The KHQ domain scores are based on a scale of 0-100, with a lower score indicating less severity. Decreases in KHQ domain scores indicate an improvement in quality of life and increases in KHQ domain scores indicate a worsening in quality of life.
Baseline, Month 6

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Patients Who Agree/Completely Agree With Each Question on the Patient Post-Video Questionnaire
Time Frame: Baseline
The Patient Post-Video Questionnaire was based on 5 individual questions assessing the patient's perception of the utility of the video in helping them 1) understand how MS can affect the bladder, 2) how to recognize bladder symptoms, 3) understand various treatment options, 4) understand self-help strategies, and 5) better manage their bladder problems. Percentages represent the proportion of patients who "agree/completely agree" with each question. Patients viewed the video at the Baseline visit, then completed the Patient Post-Video Questionnaire immediately after viewing the video at the Baseline visit.
