Filter by:This study, set up as a cross-sectional survey, seeks to delve into the disease burden and the demographic specifics of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) among the male community in China. The investigators's main aim is to map out the overall and age-specific prevalence rates of LUTS within the Chinese male population. These insights are critical for understanding the public health dimensions of this condition. Moreover, the investigators plan to investigate several secondary aspects: the correlation of LUTS prevalence with factors like urbanization levels (rural vs. urban), geographical distribution, and lifestyle choices. Another significant focus will involve examining the treatment landscape for LUTS, looking at the portion of sufferers receiving treatment, the diversity in treatment durations, and the types of treatments employed (medication vs. surgery). This comprehensive analysis is intended to shed light on the prevailing management strategies for LUTS in China. The study is scheduled to unfold over 36 months and will comprise three pivotal phases: initial preparations, recruitment of subjects and collection of data, followed by the analysis of data and compilation of reports. The investigators will employ a range of methods such as questionnaires, physical exams, laboratory tests, imaging, and other medical evaluations to amass extensive data. This will allow the investigators to evaluate the prevalence of LUTS across various age groups among men and address the current gaps in epidemiological understanding.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of a supplement called MitoQ (mitoquinol mesylate) on bladder symptoms such as urgency and frequency in women aged 50-75 years old who have the metabolic syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the study design feasible and acceptable to participants? - Do participants taking the study drug get any improvement to their bladder symptoms compared to participants taking a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug)? Participants will take 2 capsules of the study drug every morning for 4 months, answer many questions about their health including questions about their bladder health, perform physical and cognitive testing, give blood and urine samples, collect urine over 24 hour periods 3 times over the 4 months of the study, complete 3 day bladder diaries about how much they drink and void, undergo electrocardiograms, have their vitals and measurements (weight, height, waist circumference) taken, participate in 4 visits to the clinical research area and participate in many phone calls of varying length. Researchers will compare participants who were taking capsules containing MitoQ and participants taking capsules not containing MitoQ to see if MitoQ improves their bladder symptoms (urgency, frequency, nocturia, incontinence, etc.)
To evaluate the therapeutic effects and safety of silodosin in the patients of acute brain injury with lower urinary tract symptoms.
The purpose of this research is to develop an ultrasound (US) based urodynamics (UDS) evaluation of voiding based on successful magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-UDS evaluation. Both US and MRI are non-invasive imaging techniques, but US is a more cost-effective and widely available technology. 80 participants will be enrolled and will be on study for up to 2.5 hours (1.5 hour MRI and 1 hour US).
Women often face common cancers like ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancers. Improvements in cancer detection and treatment mean more women survive. However, survivors can encounter challenges like ongoing pain, treatment complications, and fertility issues. Treating these cancers often involves surgeries that might include removing ovaries or using pelvic radiation. This can trigger menopause in younger women, causing problems like vaginal dryness, itching, and urinary issues. Women who've gone through menopause often deal with these symptoms, affecting their daily lives, confidence, and intimate relationships. Though treatments are available, lack of awareness, embarrassment, and not discussing these issues with doctors can make managing them difficult. The main treatment for these symptoms is using vaginal estrogen, but it might not be suitable for some cancer survivors. Non-hormonal options like lubricants and moisturizers are alternatives. This study in Thailand aiming to explore how common these issues are among gynecological cancer survivors, their feelings about it, and how it affects their quality of life.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. It is characterized with demyelinated plaques affecting subcortical, brain stem, and spinal cord nerve fibers. During the course of the disease, with the affection myelinated nerve tracks, lower urinary track symptoms may occur. 50-90% of the MS patients experience lower urinary track symptoms (LUTS) such as urinary incontinence, urgency, nocturia and/or urinary frequency during the at one point of their life. Aim of this study is to determine the effects of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) on symptoms and quality of life in MS patients with LUTS.
. The study will include patients who underwent Pelvic reconstructive surgery for advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP-Q ≥ 3). Data regarding preoperative evaluation, surgical procedure, and post-operative management will be collected. women will receive a follow up questionnaire. . The baseline questionnaire included data on age, urinary incontinence, daytime frequency, nocturia, postmicturition dribble, straining, urgency, incomplete bladder emptying, and hesitancy. Women were asked about leakage caused by coughing or sneezing, moving, lifting, sleeping, sexual intercourse, urgency, and rest.
Retrospective, non-interventional case-control study, the patients were asked about their first lower-urinary tract symptoms and the date of their onset, using a structured interview. The information was matched with the medical records.
This is a single-center pilot randomized controlled trial among 68 physically "inactive" older men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) attributed to benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH) assessing a 12-week remote exercise intervention versus health education control.
Academic research project monitoring the effect of Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AHSCT) on multiple sclerosis-associated lower urinary tract symptoms.
