title: Urodynamic Testing for Men with Voiding Symptoms Considering Interventional Therapy: The Merits of a Properly Constructed Randomised Trial.

UPSTREAM, a multicentre randomised trial, will inform patients, clinicians, and policy-makers about whether urodynamics should be more widely used for such patients.
