Filter by:Based on previous studies the single incision minisling is an easy less invasive procedure with fewer complications and cure rate similar to conventional midurethral slings in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that the single incision mini-sling placed in the "U" position is not inferior to TVT in this patient population.
Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is described as an uncontrolled loss of urine which happens when physical activities such as running, jumping and lifting etc are carried out or when increased pressure to the bladder in everyday life is applied by simply sneezing or coughing. There are various treatment options available - surgical operations, pelvic floor exercises/muscle training and electrical stimulation. This study aims to prove that using the Neurotech Vital device for 12 weeks can stimulate the pelvic floor muscles to strengthen and tone them and in doing so improving stress urinary incontinence. We are comparing the Neurotech Vital device with an altered Neurotech Vital device that does not give the same stimulation treatment. There is a 50% chance of you receiving the altered device, if you do, you will be offered the non-altered Neurotech vital device after your first 12 week treatment programme. Both devices are identical in looks, but give different stimulations through the skin contact electrodes.
The SUCCESS 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.
This study will evaluate the safety of the pessary device by objective evaluation of vaginal wall integrity and subjective assessment of comfort during in-use conditions.
The purpose of this study is to get the effect of IncontiLaseTM procedure; and its impact on urinary symptoms and female sexual function.
More than 11 million women in the United States suffer from stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the involuntary leakage of urine during everyday activities that put temporary stress on the abdomen and bladder, such as laughing, coughing, and walking. For women with SUI, this pressure often causes urine to leak involuntarily. SUI affects women of all ages including young mothers, pre-menopausal women, and seniors, and can result in significant emotional distress. Current solutions for SUI include disposable pads, behavioral treatment (pelvic floor physical therapy) and surgical intervention. Patients with SUI who failed conservative treatment and wish to be further treated by a surgery may require further work-up by urodynamic study in which abdominal leak point pressures (ALPP) defined and reflect the severity of SUI. There is continuous need to develop less invasive treatments for SUI that could minimize the use of pads, could be an alternative to painful, costly surgical procedure. The Trendlines Group lab solution is a non-surgical alternative in the treatment of SUI. The concept of the future treatment solution is based on simple physics: injecting a small amount of air into the urinary bladder, which eliminates or greatly reduces involuntary urinary leakage. The air bubble acts as a "shock absorber" to reduce the temporary pressure increase in the bladder that causes urinary leakage. The concept for the new treatment has been tested in a lab environment using lab jig tests and pig urinary system (bladder and urethra). The lab tests showed significant improvement in the bladder pressure when the treatment was implemented by suspending the stress pressure to a level that will not cause urine leakage.
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs with descent of one or more pelvic structures: the uterus and/or cervix, bowel, bladder, or rectum. Although options for treatment include expectant management, pelvic floor physical therapy, and pessary (intravaginal device) use, surgery is the only option which potentially offers a cure. It is well known that women with pelvic organ prolapse are at risk of developing new stress urinary incontinence symptoms after prolapse surgery. Stress urinary incontinence is defined as involuntary loss of urine with an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, such as sneezing, coughing, or laughing. Previous studies have demonstrated that the addition of a prophylactic anti-incontinence procedure at the time of prolapse surgery reduces this risk. One example of such a procedure is a mesh sling placed underneath the urethra (midurethral sling). Nevertheless, the decision to place a midurethral sling to prevent stress urinary incontinence after prolapse surgery remains controversial. A new risk calculator tool has been developed to provide patients' with their individualized risk of developing de novo stress urinary incontinence after prolapse surgery. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether use of this new personalized online risk calculator tool increases patient satisfaction with the decision whether or not to have a midurethral sling placed at the time of prolapse surgery to prevent development of stress urinary incontinence. The investigators hypothesize that use of this tool will increase patient satisfaction with their decision regarding midurethral sling placement.
This purpose of this study is to study is to see if intra-operative urethral length measurement with the Foley catheter will improve the placement of a synthetic sling in the mid-urethra.
This is a prospective, post-market, single arm, multicenter study comparing Baseline data to the 12 month and 36 month data in 136 female patients with Stress Urinary Incontinence
INTRODUCTION: Stress urinary incontinence is a common condition in women and can be defined as the involuntary loss of urine on exertion, exercise, sneezing or coughing. This pathology causes physical discomfort and impacts the quality of life in a negative manner. Physiotherapeutic exercises is a treatment with low cost and high patient attendance. It can be applied with focus on strengthening the pelvic floor muscles or on muscular synergism. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of Kegel exercises performed alone or performed in association with the strengthening of the muscles of the hip in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. METHODOLOGY: The study is a randomized, blinded clinical trial. It aims at assessing objectively the strength of the pelvic floor, the improvement in the number of episodes of loss and impact on quality of life. The study will accept up to 40 women, who will be divided into two groups of physical therapy: group 1 (that will strengthen the pelvic floor muscles with Kegel exercises) and group 2 (that will perform strengthening the pelvic floor muscles with Kegel exercises associated with the strengthening of muscles of the hip). The two groups will be evaluated at the beginning and at the end of treatment.
