Filter by:This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Naftopidil in Korean male patients with with lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia. The investigators hypothesized that Naftopidil which came onto marcket in Japan would effect in improvement of voiding and storage difficulty. Design: Placebo-controlled, Randomized, Double-blind, Double-dummy, Parallel group, Fixed dose design
Children with non-neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) represent a significant subgroup of pediatric urology patients, comprising up to 30 percent of some out-patient clinics. These children present with urinary tract infections (UTIs), abnormal voiding habits and various other lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTs) such as incontinence, urinary urgency and urinary frequency. Furthermore, the effects of NLUTD on a child's physical health, mental health and its potential negative clinical sequelae, which includes upper or lower urinary tract damage, must be taken into account when treating these children. These patients have complex needs requiring a significant amount of health teaching and it is imperative to determine the effectiveness of the various modes of delivering urotherapy. To determine the best modality to deliver urotherapy, this trial will compare the effectiveness of a 7 minute bladder training video to the effectiveness of standard urotherapy provided at a pediatric urology clinic at improving NLUTD/DES symptoms and quality of life in children between 5-10 years of age.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Rezūm System and assess its effect on urinary symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
The main purpose of this study is to get the urethra and pelvic sonographic imaging by 4D ultrasound examinations, and to correlate the sonographic findings with urodynamic variables, pad weights and LUTS. Besides, the associations of the blood flow of vagina/urethra and sexual dysfunction can be explored.
This study is designed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a second transrectal intraprostatic injection of NX-1207 given to subjects with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) who previously received an injection of NX-1207 in an earlier U.S. clinical trial of NX-1207.
Menopausal syndromes includes somatic symptom, psychosomatic symptoms, sexual dysfunction and even urinary symptoms. Hormone therapy (HT) is widely used for controlling menopausal symptoms. Common HT for menopausal syndrome with intact uterus includes tibolone, estradiol valerate (E2V) 1mg & medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) 2.5 mg, and conjugated equine estrogens & MPA. However, only a few literatures mentioned about the therapeutic effect of tibolone, but lack of comparison research about their therapeutic effect on somatic symptoms, psychosomatic symptoms, sexual dysfunction and even urinary symptoms. The knowledge of the above therapeutic effects should be important for choosing a suitable medication. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the therapeutic effect on somatic symptoms, psychosomatic symptoms, sexual dysfunction and even urinary symptoms between tibolone and E2V/MPA.
Flexible cystoscopy has diagnostic as well as therapeutic role in many patients presenting in urology clinic with lower urinary tract symptoms (frequency, nocturia etc) and hematuria (blood in urine). Pain associated with cystoscopy varies from patient to patient, majority requires local anesthesia or lubricant solution only. During flexible cystoscopy, lubrication, use of topical anesthesia and duration of cystoscopy are recognized as important factors contributing in severity of pain of which use of intraurethral gel left to individual preference. Various studies are available reporting the pain perception with use of various intraurethral gels. Even the highest level of evidence is unable to resolve the query. With this study the investigators hypothesize that pain perception (recorded in form of pain score) during flexible cystoscopy can be reduced with use of per operative diclofenac(Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drug)suppository in comparison to plain gel alone. With better control of pain the investigators aim to increase patient comfort and compliance which will increase the patient satisfaction rate and early return to work.
This study is a non interventional study where no investigational medicine is provided. Procedures and examination will follow the institution standard of care practice. The therapeutic approach will not be decided in advance by the protocol or influenced in any way by the protocol. After standard evaluation the investigator will decide the treatment strategy and upon eligibility criteria met will propose subject to participate to the study. Informed consent will be collected for all subjects. The study will consist of 3 possible observational visits; V1 (enrolment), V2 and V3 (follow up). During all observational visits (V1, V2 and V3) the patient will complete the I-PSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) questionnaire including Quality Of Life (QOL) questionnaire and a Patient assessment of treatment benefit and satisfaction using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The patient will be asked to complete a voiding diary the first 3 days after Visit 1 (Baseline diary), 3 days before Visit 2 and again 3 days before Visit 3. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) measurement- Uroflowmetry - Post Voiding Residual volume and Trans Rectal Ultra Sound data will be collected only if available. During all observational visits (V1, V2 and V3) the investigator will complete the assessment of treatment benefit and satisfaction using a VAS.
This research study seeks to provide more insight as to how the microbiome affects or is affected by conditions causing chronic pelvic pain such as Interstitial Cystitis (IC), Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS), Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS), or Overactive bladder (OAB). Depression and many chronic pain disorders are often related and are poorly understood, and treatment is often not helpful. The goal of this study is to explain pelvic pain characteristics and causes by studying microbiomes of healthy people compared to people suffering from IC, CP/CPPS, LUTS, OAB, and Major depression.
The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of Levonorgestrel Releasing Intrauterine devices (LNR-IUD) on genitourinary symptoms in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding. The patients were asked urogenital distress inventory (UDI) (which includes; irritative symptoms, stress symptoms, obstructive discomfort) and incontinence impact questionnaire (IIQ) (which includes; physical activity, travel, social/relationships, emotional health)questionnaires in the day of application LNR-IUD and six months later this procedure. Statistical analyse will be performed to evaluate the changes in this time period.
