Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture (EA) for simple female stress urinary incontinence.
The hypothesis is men with stress urinary incontinence, including those following radical retropubic prostatectomy and other prostate surgery, have preoperative urethral mobility as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that improves significantly following sling placement. The investigators theorize that the sling helps with primary hypermobility of this pathophysiologic cause of stress urinary incontinence.
A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BOTOX® or Solifenacin in patients with overactive bladder (OAB) and urinary incontinence.
The lifetime risk for a woman to undergo surgery for either vaginal prolapse or urinary incontinence is high. Previous studies have shown that pregnancy and childbirth are risk factors for developing prolapse. There is a lack of studies that follow women several years after delivery aiming to find whether symptoms of prolapse are linked to delivery method, ie vacuum, forceps, normal vaginal delivery and cesarean section. The investigators plan this study is to get more knowledge about pathology of prolapse and incontinence, to enable development of preventive strategies for these conditions. Aim of the study is to determine whether the prevalence of symptoms and performed surgery for urogenital prolapse differs among women delivered by vacuum, forceps, normal vaginal delivery and cesarean section 15-20 years after their first delivery. The investigators identify women that delivered their first child at St. Olavs Hospital, Trondheim, Norway between 1990-1997. Questionnaires will be sent to 2500 women (PFIQ-7, PFDI-20, PISQ-12), 600 of whom will get a clinical examination, where pelvic floor musculature is examined by palpation and 4D ultrasound, and a POP-Q quantification of prolapse performed.
This is a prospective, observational, multicenter study of women with surgically-correctable stress urinary incontinence who undergo a TOT-sling operative procedure.
The investigators are interested in determining those procedures that prove to be most efficient and effective in facilitating continence (i.e., "dry pants" or the absence of soiled undergarments), appropriate eliminations (i.e., voids/stools in toilet), and independent requests/initiations to use the toilet. To assess the effectiveness of toilet training methods (procedures), data on toileting skills (in addition to each skill in a given child's curriculum) are collected across the school day (7:30 am-5:45 pm) by the classroom teachers. The primary dependent variables (toileting skills) are continence (i.e., absence of soiled undergarments), appropriate eliminations (i.e., the number of voids/stools made in the toilet), and independent/self requests (i.e., communication by the child with an adult to use the toilet). The toileting procedures are implemented by classroom teachers (undergraduate practicum students) and implementation is monitored by classroom supervisors (graduate teaching assistants). Procedural effectiveness is evaluated on a daily basis by the graduate teaching assistants and on an at-least-weekly basis by faculty supervisors.
The transobturator tension-free vaginal tape (TOT) procedure has demonstrated high cure rates comparable to those obtained by retropubic suburethral tape, becoming the first line treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in many cases. The TOT procedure is not exempt from complications such as bleeding, bladder injuries and pain in the thigh/groin. In addition it is commonly performed under general or regional anesthesia1-3. The single-incision mini-slings (SIMS) were developed to reduce the risk of complications by avoiding the blind passage of the trocars through the obturator space. In addition, the use of SIMS could enable surgeons to perform the procedure truly under local anesthesia. Different devices for SIMS procedure are available. However, the evidence about their efficacy is controversial4-7. The main limitation of these devices could be the predetermined length of the mesh and the weakness on its fixation. The design of the SIMS Ajust® allows adjusting the length of the sling to each individual woman and provides a robust fixation into the obturator membrane. Recent prospective studies on the efficacy and safety of the sling Ajust® have obtained promising results8,9. Even so, the NICE guidelines advise to use SIMS in the context of research studies10. The objective of this study is to establish if the effectiveness of the SIMS Ajust® is non-inferior to that of a standard TOT, as well as to compare the comorbidity of both procedures. Owing to the new appearance and fast evolution of these procedures, randomized comparative studies with SIMS are required in order to determine its place in the treatment of SUI.
The Solace European Confirmatory (SOLECT) Trial is designed to determine whether the Solace Bladder Control System is safe and effective for the treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) in adult females.
Evaluate 5-year objective and subjective cure rates after implant of the retropubic Align Urethral Support System.
Nocturnal enuresis affects 10% of the 7-year-old children and is essentially caused by a mismatch between nocturnal bladder capacity and the amount of urine produced during the night together with failure of the child to awaken in response to a full bladder.Urine overproduction at night or nocturnal polyuria (NP) is a major factor contributing to monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE) pathophysiology in a large proportion of patients. Since NP is related to an abnormal circadian rhythm of arginine vasopressin (AVP) secretion, the synthetic AVP analogue desmopressin is widely used to treat MNE. It is recommended by the International Consultation on Incontinence (grade A,level 1). Desmopressin is available in 3 different formulations: nasal spray, tablet and the newest form melt. Baeyens et al demonstrated an increased prevalence of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children with MNE According to recent data there is a high incidence of periodic limb movements in sleep at night in children with nocturnal enuresis. Those children have an increased cortical arousability leading to awakening. The frequent awakening most likely has an influence on concentration and other ADHD-symptoms in daily life. This study will assess the impact of desmopressin melt on prepulse inhibition, ADHD-symptoms, cognition and learning, sleep, quality of life and self esteem. New patients aged 6-16 years with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis, nocturnal polyuria and sleep problems are tested before the start of the study medication desmopressin melt (T1) and 6 months later (T2). It is a multi-method, multi-informant study.
