Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of caffeine reduction/elimination on urinary symptoms in women with overactive bladders and compare this therapeutic approach to anticholinergic therapy. We hope to show a reduction in symptoms with caffeine reduction and determine how effective caffeine reduction is compared to medication. If caffeine reduction is shown to be beneficial, women may be encouraged to use this strategy before resorting to medications.
Interstitial cystitis (IC)/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) is a clinical syndrome of pelvic pain and/or urinary urgency/frequency in absence of a specific cause such as bacterial infection or damage to the bladder. The pathogenetic mechanisms of IC/CPPS are as yet undefined and it is largely this lack of knowledge, which precludes a systematic therapeutic approach. Experimental evidence, including results from the animal models of cystitis and the knock-out mice, indicate a participation of tachykinin receptors, especially the NK1R, in neurogenic inflammation, which is considered an important element of the IC complex. However, there is very scant information about the molecular mechanisms of IC in humans, or of the types of receptors, which participate in neurogenic inflammation. Based on our molecular biological know-how and the clinical expertise, we propose to investigate the role of the tachykinin and bradykinin receptors and their signalling partners in CPPS and bladder dysfunction in humans.
In this study we hope to establish the prevalence of urinary urge symptoms (with or without incontinence) in a multicultural, underserved, hospital clinic population in women between the ages of 20 and 45. Quality of life (QOL) in these individuals will be examined. The goal is to show a 15% reduction in number of voids in a 24 hour period in our study population after 12 weeks of treatment with solifenacin succinate. Hypothesis: We believe that urinary urge symptoms are under-reported in young women and believe they pose a significant strain on quality of life on otherwise young, healthy individuals. Treatment with solifenacin succinate will improve symptoms, in turn improving QOL for these individuals.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of solifenacin succinate as add-on therapy for overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms in men who have been treated for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with tamsulosin hydrochloride for at least 6 weeks
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate superiority of percutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) therapy compared to sham therapy for the treatment of patients with overall bladder (OAB) symptoms.
This study will design an alternative urodynamic platform to better evaluate treatment effects of medications for overactive bladder. Part II is dependent on results of Part I and may not be conducted.
This is an open-label single center trial to study improvements in symptom bother and quality of life in overactive bladder patients self titrating solifenacin 5mg and 10 mg. The study is designed to reflect real world conditions in typical male and female OAB patients presenting for treatment.
A. Statement of Objective: To conduct a randomized trial to evaluate the impact of caffeine restriction on Overactive Bladder(OAB) symptoms including urinary frequency, nocturia, incontinence episodes, symptom severity and bother and quality of life. B. Specific Aims/Hypothesis: 1. To determine if reduction in caffeine intake decreases urinary frequency, nocturia and incontinence episodes as measured on a 3-day voiding diary in women with Overactive Bladder (OAB). We hypothesize that women with overactive bladder will report less frequent urination and decreased nocturia and incontinence episodes with caffeine reduction. 2. To determine whether caffeine reduction results in decreased symptom severity and bother and improved quality of life scores as measured by the Questionnaire for Incontinence Severity Index (ISI), Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID), Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) and the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7). We hypothesize that women with OAB who reduce their intake of caffeine will report decreased symptom bother and improved quality of life as measured by the ISI, UDI-6 and the IIQ-
Tolterodine is approved for use in the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB). The study is designed to a investigate whether pregabalin may have efficacy in OAB and whether the efficacy is altered when it is combined with tolterodine.
To investigate the efficacy and safety of KUC-7483 in overactive bladder patients.
