Filter by:This is a trial to demonstrate the superiority of prostate artery embolization (PAE) over sham procedure in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) induced lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The trial will aim to enroll 108 patients at a 2:1 allocation over a 2 year period.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of digital pelvic floor muscle training and lifestyle recommendations in patients with Multiple Sclerosis having lower urinary tract symptoms.
A post-market, non-interventional, two-arm, long-term follow-up study of patients previously enrolled in the WATER Study (NCT02505919) - which was a prospective multi-centre randomized blinded study comparing Aquablation of the prostate with the AQUABEAM Robotic System with standard transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
Effect of hormonal contraception on lower urinary tract symptoms& sexual function
Rationale: The treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic enlargement in men with transperineal laser ablation (TPLA) may offer advantages in functional outcomes and safety over current standard therapies. As the technique is relatively new, indications and outcomes for this treatment are subject of investigation. However, the technique is already applied outside clinical studies. Clinical information from these treatments can be useful for future research. The aim of this study is to collect data on patients treated with transperineal laser ablation of the prostate outside clinical trials and to provide data on safety and functional outcomes in these patients in order to improve treatment. Objective: To assess long-term efficacy of transperineal laser ablation for lower urinary tract symptoms, to assess functional outcomes, to assess safety, to determine baseline patient characteristics, to collect information on possible differences between centres applying treatment of transperineal laser ablation and to explore the optimal treatment indications and possible limitations. Study design: This is an international prospective observational study in which data is recorded of patients who are treated with transperineal laser ablation for lower urinary tract symptoms. Study population: Male patients treated with transperineal laser ablation for lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic enlargement. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary endpoint of this study is long-term efficacy of transperineal laser ablation for lower urinary tract symptoms measured by the time until surgical retreatment.
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in men worldwide, accounting for 15% of all male cancers. In 2015, there were 220,800 estimated new cases of prostate cancer and 27,540 deaths by PCa, making this disease the second leading cause of cancer-related death for North American men. Men with PCa may develop lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) when prostate tumors invade or compress the prostatic urethra, the bladder or the neurovascular bundles, or when the prostate is enlarged. It has been estimated that over 40% of men with PCa experience moderate or severe LUTS. LUTS can impact profoundly on a man's quality of life (QoL); an effect that increases with increasing LUTS severity. Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) can offer immediate relief of the obstruction in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In contrast, palliative TURP (p-TURP) (the so-called "channel" TURP), is transurethral resection of prostate tissue in a patient with metastatic or locally advanced and/or previously treated PCa to alleviate obstructive voiding symptoms. Al¬though TURP is commonly performed to relieve bladder outlet ob¬struction (BOO) symptoms in patients with BPH, little known about the outcome of palliative transurethral plasma kinetic resection of prostate (p-TUPKRP) in patients with ad-vanced PCa. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) are the standard treatment for many patients with PCa, particularly those with advanced or metastatic disease. The impact of ADT on tumor control and achieving the reduction in prostate specific antigen (PSA) is well established. But there is less information available on the effects on LUTSs in men with PCa. Some short-term studies of ADT with the GnRH antagonist or with ADT in the neoadjuvant setting have demonstrated reductions in LUTSs, measured by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). There are few published data on the longer-term effects of ADT on LUTSs, apart from an earlier interim analysis of data from the current study. In this study, p-TUPKRP combined with ADT will perform for 50 patients with advanced PCa complicated with severe LUTS. As a control, other 50 advanced PCa patients with same symptoms will be treated with ADT only. Some clinical data, including PSA, IPSS, QoL, Urinary flow rate (UFR), ECOG Score, Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), will be analyzed. It is expected to explore the efficacy and safety of the combination therapy to advanced PCa with severe LUTS.
Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a novel ablation modality using electric pulses to create nanoscale defects in the cell membrane. It has been verified to be safe on the treatment of prostate, lung, liver and kidney masses. The present is a randomized, controlled trial, with a main purpose of looking into the safety and feasibility of irreversible electroporation for patients with benign prostatic obstruction.
Our hypothesis that the prevalence of AD in uro-gynecologic patients with LUTS who are seeking medical help for their condition is higher than that of the general population (indicated by high scores at the ADNM-20; score above 48). Taking into consideration that affective disorders, anxiety and depression among patients with LUTS present with a prevalence of 17-23% [20] as well as through long personal experience, we hypothesize that the prevalence of AD in this group is 20%.
The pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is a conservative treatment, currently considered as first line for women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). However, in practice, about 30 to 50% of women are unable to perform the correct contraction of the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs). When requested to perform the muscle contraction, the contraction of the gluteal muscles, hip adductors, or abdominal muscles is observed initially, rather of contraction of the levator anus muscle. Some factors make it difficult to perform the contraction of the PFM, such as its location on the pelvic floor, and its small size, followed by a lack of knowledge of the pelvic region, as well as its functions. Associated with these factors is the use of the muscles adjacent to the PFM, as previously mentioned. In order for women to benefit from a PFMT program for the treatment of SUI, the awareness phase of PFM can't be omitted, since the literature is unanimous in stating that pelvic exercises improve the recruitment capacity of the musculature, its tone and reflex coordination during the effort activities.
