Filter by:Urinary incontinence is a frequent chronic condition in general population. It is even more frequent in people with chronic respiratory disease due to several factors, including but not limited to frequent cough. Urinary incontinence may be more frequent during exercise so that it may contribute to the general deconditioning associated with chronic respiratory disease. Although pulmonary rehabilitation is a cornerstone in the management of people with chronic respiratory disease to break this spiral of worsening dyspnea, little is known about the prevalence of urinary incontinence among those people referred for pulmonary rehabilitation nor about its impact on the effects of the program.
To study the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) in female athletes from Castilla y León, as well as the category of athletics with the highest number of losses, the most incident risk factors and the bio-psycho-social consequences that it leads to.
Urinary incontinence (UI) symptoms are highly prevalent among women, and menopause is one of the risk factors for UI. During the menopausal transition, not only the hormonal secretion is changed but also the level of physical activity is affected. The time spent on physical activity is reduced in postmenopausal women. Studies have shown that physical activity acts in a bidirectional manner, exerting either a preventive or an aggravating effect on urinary incontinence. Individuals with sedentary lifestyle and insufficient physical activity (< 150 min/week) are at risk of developing UI, and regular physical activity exerts a protective effect in preventing UI, but the optimal type, duration, and intensity of exercise for the female older adult population remain unknown. In addition, objective measurements of pelvic floor muscle function is needed as the use of self-reported measures may cause response bias. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of different intensity of exercise on pelvic floor muscle function and HRQoL in postmenopausal women with UI. The investigators hypothesize that (a) both high- and low-intensity physical activities can improve pelvic floor muscle strength and HRQoL in postmenopausal women with UI, and (b) the improvement in high-intensity group is higher than that in low-intensity group. A randomized trial will be conducted to compare the effect of different exercise intensity on pelvic floor muscle function in postmenopausal women with urinary incontinence (n=90).
Study is designed to assess the long-term clinical effects and safety profile of non-ablative Er:YAG (IncontiLase®) laser treatment, the durability of the results and the optimal treatment regimen for mild-to-severe stages of genuine female stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of high- and low-intensity PFMT with stabilization exercises in women with SUI
Aim: To verify the effects of the abdominal hypopressive technic (AHT) associate or not with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in urinary incontinence (UI) symptoms and pelvic floor muscle strength. Methods: Randomized controlled trial. Thirteen incontinent women were randomly divided into an AHT group or AHT+PFMC group. Outcome assessment was carried out using digital palpation (modified Oxford grading scale), Peritron perineometer, and the International Consultation Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) questionnaire. The treatment protocol consisted of five twice-weekly, 40-min one-on-one sessions. The participants were assessed only at baseline and after the intervention. Results: It is expected that the group who performed PFMC will improve the maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) and improve urinary incontinence symptoms, while the hypopressive exercise does not.
This study was designed as an open label, feasibility, single-center, cross-over prospective study in women with stress urinary incontinence. Subjects served as their own control.
Children referred to pediatric urology clinic for primary nocturnal enuresis will be screened for enrollment. Patients who fail will next be offered therapy with a bedwetting alarm device or a TENS unit as an alternative, and those who chose TENS therapy will be included in the study.The patients will be randomized into three groups of 30 patients each. Group 1 will be the long frequency set at 2 Hz (hertz). Group 2 will be the moderate frequency set at 10 Hz. Group 3 will be the short frequency set 150 Hz. The patients will be provided with a TENS unit and electrode pads and caretakers instructed on how to use the apparatus. The child's TENS unit will be set at a frequency determined by randomization, pulse width of 260 seconds, and an intensity to be determined in the office based upon when the child feels sensitive to the TENS unit. The child will be randomized and will place the electrodes along the posterior tibial nerve on the medial ankle each night before bed time for 15 minutes for a total of 30 days. Diaries including nighttime incontinence episodes and a "wet sheet" scale (dry, damp, wet, soaked) will be recorded, along with any adverse reactions to the TENS unit. Patients will be followed up after one month of TENS with evaluation including the Pediatric Urinary Incontinence Questionnaire, a validated tool for measuring quality of life in children with bladder dysfunction; this questionnaire will be filled out prior to starting TENS treatment in order to compare the effect of treatment on QOL. The data will be collected at different time points (baseline and after 1 month of treatment) for each group by itself and the groups compared against each other using statistical analysis.
Clinical and paraclinical appraisal of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is mainly based on the assessment of pelvic floor muscles (PFM) contraction and urethral mobility, the measurement of the maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP) at rest by urethral pressure profilometry (UPP) and the measurement of the Valsalva leak point pressure (VLPP). Currently, MUCP and VLPP cannot be used for diagnosing SUI because they appear to be moderately correlated with the severity of SUI. The lack of a specific SUI biomarker could be the explanation for the poor predictive value of urodynamics and the ongoing debate on whether urodynamic testing before surgery has benefits. Our main objective was to study the value of a new urodynamic parameter in the diagnosis of female SUI: the Valsalva urethral profile (VUP)
The aim of this prospective, randomized controlled study is to evaluate and compare efficacy between the most available conservative treatment (magnetic stimulation and Kegel exercise) for stress urinary incontinence in Croatia. We will assess quality-of-life, patient global improvement, and vaginal pressure measured with perineometer in three different time points: at the enrollment, after 8 weeks of treatment and 3 months after the both treatments are done.
