View clinical trials related to Urinary Bladder, Overactive.
Filter by:Overactive bladder (OAB) is an enigmatic condition that is treated symptomatically with anticholinergic drugs (gold standard 2013). In a clinical pilot study was found to be a trend for a higher reduction of the micturition frequency in the Bryophyllum pinnatum group - treated with chewing tablets containing 50% of dried BP leaf press juice - than in the placebo group (n=20, p=0.064) Hypothesis: To test the superior effectivity of Bryophyllum versus Placebo in the treatment of OAB with the needed number (Purpose 1) and to assess in an experimental arm the side effects of BP in comparison to the standard drug (Vesicare) in a clincial trial (Purpose 2).
Participants receiving neuromodulation treatment for overactive bladder symptoms will be routinely fitted with an impulse generator. However, the setting on the impulse generator will be set to either intermittent or continuous stimulation. Participants will complete voiding logs and surveys for a month. Battery life will be interrogated.After a one week period were the device is turned off, the impulse generator will be turned to the opposite setting (intermittent or continuous) and the one month period will be repeated. Again, voiding logs, surveys, and battery life will be collected. The purpose of this project is to investigate the outcomes of intermittent versus continuous stimulation in patients treated with sacral neuromodulation (SNM) for refractory overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome. In addition, the potential for an improved battery life with intermittent stimulation will be quantified.
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a very common problem that impairs the quality of life of about 17% of adult population in USA above the age of 40. The issues becomes more prominent with getting older. OAB was determined by International Continence Society as urgency (immediate desire to urinate that could not be postponed) with or without incontinence usually associated with increased frequency and nocturia (urination at night). In 2012, American Urologic Association published clinical guidelines for the treatment of OAB of non neurogenic origin. Neuromodulation was proposed as the third line of treatment and two treatments were recommended: sacral nerve neuromodulation (SNM) and posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS). Each of above mentioned procedures are invasive. SNM involves lead implantation in operating room using X-ray guidance and anesthesia. PTNS involves needle insertion on the low extremity. The investigators would like to examine the efficacy of transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS) in refractory to the first two lines of OAB treatment patients.
Overactive Bladder (OAB) is a chronic condition defined as urgency with or without incontinence usually associated with frequency and nocturia. It is a common condition affecting 15-45% of adults and constitutes a significant proportion of patients attending urogynaecology clinics. OAB is known to have a significant impact on the physical, social and emotional quality of life and sexual function in women. The treatment of OAB is initially conservative with bladder training followed by pharmacotherapy. Evidence from a recent Cochrane review on treatment of OAB suggests that the efficacy of anticholinergics in treatment of OAB is enhanced when combined with BT. Women who fail to improve with these initial measures are offered Intravesical Botox or neuromodulation in the form of Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) or Sacral Nerve Stimulation (SNS). PTNS has also been shown to more effective than pharmacotherapy with anticholinergics. In 2010 National Institute of Clinical Excellences (NICE) issued guidance stating '"PTNS for OAB demonstrates effectiveness without major safety concerns" We hypothesise that the outcome of PTNS will improve if the PTNS sessions are combined with bladder training (BT).
This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, multiple-dose study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BOTOX in adolescents with urinary incontinence due to overactive bladder (OAB) with inadequate management with anticholinergic therapy. Participants were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive a single Tx of 25 U, 50 U, or 100 U BOTOX (not to exceed 6 U/kg) on Day 1, were seen after each treatment at Weeks 2, 6, and 12 post-treatment, and thereafter at alternating telephone and clinic visits every 6 weeks until they qualified for further retreatment/exited the study. Participants could receive multiple treatments dependent upon the number and timing of patient requests/qualification for retreatment. At each retreatment the investigator could keep the dose the same or increase it one dose level in a blinded fashion. Participants exited the study once 96 weeks have elapsed since entry on Day 1 and at least 12 weeks follow-up since their last study treatment had occurred.
The purpose of this study is to see if the study drug, Mirabegron, is safe and effective in treating symptoms of Overactive Bladder in people with Parkinson's Disease.
This is a 12 month non-interventional study with solifenacin succinate, evaluating the effect of solifenacin on quality of life (QoL) of patients previously treated with antimuscarinics (Males and Females with Overactive Bladder (OAB) symptoms withdrawing their treatment with antimuscarinics because of safety and/or efficacy reasons) - measured by Perception of Treatment Satisfaction (TS-VAS) and to evaluate the effect of solifenacin on quality of life measured by Over Active Bladder-q Short Form (OAB-q SF), EuroQol Group scoring system (EQ-5D-5L).
The aim of this study (the hypothesis) is to identify differences in the gene expression profile in the bladder muscle and hereby gain greater knowledge about the muscular mechanisms that cause overactive bladder and daytime urinary incontinence in children older than 5 years. A secondary aim is to examine how this gene expression profile differs from children with a neurogenic overactive bladder and how the gene expression profile changes from childhood till adulthood. Such new knowledge will result in a more precisely targeted and hence effective treatment of overactive bladder. The results will be obtained by retrieving bladder biopsies from children and adults suffering from an overactive bladder or a neurogenic bladder. These biopsies will undergo molecular analysis and the investigators will compare them with biopises from bladder healthy adults and children.
We aim to evaluate whether the addition of Omega-3 fatty acids to oxybutynin, a standard first-line treatment for overactive bladder syndrome, will improve symptoms and quality of life. Secondarily, we will evaluate whether Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce the adverse effects of oxybutynin. Hypothesis - Primary: Omega-3 will enhance the beneficial role of oxybutynin in the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) - Secondary: Omega-3 will reduce the side effects of dry eyes and constipation associated with oxybutynin
Urinary urgency is the key symptom of overactive bladder (OAB). A critical barrier in understanding OAB is the lack of a method to separate urgency that derives directly from bladder filling or what we term "tension sensor output" and urgency that derives from abnormal brain interpretation. The central hypothesis is that measureable biomechanical parameters can directly affect the output (urgency) of the detrusor tension sensor. The development of novel cystometric tests for the improved diagnosis and treatment of OAB and for the potential identification of novel mechanistic targets in the pathophysiology of OAB.
