Filter by:This study is a Post-Marketing Surveillance study in Korea to evaluate the safety and efficacy of botulinum toxin Type A to treat urinary incontinence in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) or overactive bladder (OAB) not adequately controlled by anticholinergic drugs.
This three-site randomized controlled trial compares the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a group-administered behavioral treatment program to no treatment. Women with stress, urgency, or mixed urinary incontinence will be recruited and screened centrally, evaluated clinically at each of three study sites, and random assigned to one of two treatment arms: 1. Group behavioral treatment or 2. No treatment. Group treatment modalities have the potential to reach a larger population of older women with urinary incontinence, not only in the traditional medical settings, but also in community settings. The investigators hypothesize that group behavioral treatment will be more effective than no treatment. The investigators hypothesize that the group treatment will be cost-effective compared to no treatment.
This study was designed to evaluate urinary function before and one year after single incision sling placement at the time of robotic sacrocolpopexy. The thought is that the more minimally-invasive, single incision sling would provide a similar subjective success rates as those of retropubic and trans-obturator slings.
Urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction are potential side effects for men undergoing the successful removal of the cancerous prostate via surgery. Hypothermic cooling via the investigational Endorectal Cooling Balloon has been shown by our group to significantly reduce long term urinary incontinence and may reduce sexual dysfunction in men after robotic prostatectomy, and improve the patient's long term quality of life (QOL). However before successful translation of the endorectal balloon can proceed into the world wide usage, we must understand: 1. How effectively the tissues for continence and sexual function are cooled within the pelvis. 2. What is the capacity of vascularized structures (i.e. the neurovascular bundle) to 'cool sink' or diminish the effective cooling and 3. Determine if the endorectal balloon can be re‐designed for improved QOL outcomes in men. This research study marries two new techniques of Thermal MRI imaging and Endorectal cooling for prostate cancer surgery. MRI is non‐invasive. A simple confirmation of effective hypothermic cooling can be achieved by novel MRI thermal mapping of the cooling gradient as it comprehensively sweeps through the rectum across the urogenital pelvis. MRI with temperature adaptive software can accurately map these gradients with non‐invasive technique, and answer formidable questions of the effectiveness of hypothermic cooling of the prostate and its direct translation into improved continence and sexual function after surgery. The purpose of this research study is to use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Thermal MRI with subjects who will receive the investigational endorectal cooling balloon to help further understand how the cooling balloon works, which may translate to other uses in the future, including the diagnosis of patients at a high risk of developing prostate cancer.
This pilot study is designed to investigate the feasibility of comparing a standard behavioral intervention and an innovative intervention that incorporates the use of a wireless moisture alarm in training children with autism how to independently use the toilet for urination. We hypothesize that the study protocol will be feasible, as measured through review of achieved recruitment targets, successful randomization, and >80% retention of subjects with com- plete data collection. Our second hypothesis is that therapists will deliver experimental and standard behavioral treatment intervention with ≥80% fidelity and parents in both intervention groups will adhere to the intervention with ≥80% fidelity. A secondary aim of this study is to examine trends in outcome data by conducting a small RCT (N = 30) of wireless moisture alarm and standard behavioral toilet training, with the hypothesis that the moisture alarm intervention will result in fewer toileting accidents, a higher rate of toileting success and greater parental satisfaction.
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common disorder among older women that greatly affects quality of life. Emerging evidence from observational studies links vitamin D insufficiency with UI. Prior to a larger intervention trial of vitamin D among older women with low serum vitamin D levels and urgency UI, we propose a pilot study in 100 older women comparing weekly, oral vitamin D3 50,000 IU to placebo. We hypothesize that adequate vitamin D supplementation will improve UI symptoms in older women with vitamin D deficiency. Changes in UI-episodes will be assessed by a 7-day bladder diary and other validated symptom measures administered at baseline and after 12-weeks of intervention. Serum calcium and 25(OH)D levels will be monitored. The expected outcomes will provide new knowledge regarding the impact of vitamin D supplementation on UI symptom improvement and inform a larger, randomized controlled clinical trial involving vitamin D supplementation.
Many men develop urine leakage after prostate cancer surgery. Usually it is temporary, but pelvic floor muscle training and exercise (including urine control strategies) have been shown to reduce the time to regaining urine control. This study tests an evidence-based, pelvic floor muscle training program that has been adapted to telehealth format and pilot tested in a VA-funded pilot/developmental trial. Training is begun 1-4 weeks before surgery and continued 6 months after surgery. Content is accessed on a secure website in daily 10-minute sessions which transition to weekly sessions for post-operative months 3-6. In the investigators' pilot study, Veterans reported that they appreciated receiving the training in the privacy of their homes, enjoyed the interactive style of the learning experience, and felt better prepared to deal with urine leakage and empowered with new knowledge and skills to help themselves. Content for both control and treatment groups includes general information about prostate cancer; perioperative care; wetness, odor and skin care management. The treatment group will ALSO receive pelvic floor muscle training and bladder control strategies. Outcomes are measured with brief validated questions administered by the telehealth platform, and again at 9 and 12 months by mailed questionnaire or the telehealth platform.
Pediatric patients with sickle cell disease are at greater risk for exhibiting nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) compared to the general population. This increased risk has been attributed to a decreased ability to concentrate urine caused by sickling-induced nephropathy. The sociodemographic, psychosocial, and medical factors associated with nocturnal enuresis are not well defined. In addition, the impact of these behaviors on emotional and behavioral functioning, along with health-related quality of life are not clear. Despite the availability of evidence-based interventions for nocturnal enuresis, very few families with a child with sickle cell disease have utilized these methods. The reasons for this underutilization of interventions are not clear.
The overarching goal of this randomized trial is to estimate the effect of combined midurethral sling (MUS) and peri-operative behavioral/pelvic floor therapy (BPTx) compared to MUS alone on successful treatment of MUI symptoms in 472 women. Secondary objectives include estimating the effect of combined treatment compared to MUS on improving overactive bladder (OAB) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) outcomes separately, need for additional treatment, time to failure and identifying predictors of poor outcomes in this MUI population. A supplemental study, The Human Microbiome Study of ESTEEM, will evaluate the urinary and vaginal microbiome as it relates to women with MUI, their treatment and unaffected controls.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety of muscle progenitor cells (MPCs) for the treatment of urinary incontinence due to incompetent outlet (bladder neck/urethra).
