Filter by:In the present pilot study, a possible relation between the implantation of PP mesh for inguinal hernia, vaginal prolapse and SUI repair and subsequent systemic auto-immune complaints is investigated by testing immunologic and allergic responses in fifty patients with suspected ASIA syndrome. Additional value of MAT is investigated and effectiveness of (partial) PP mesh removal for these complaints is assessed. If so, a profound insight in diagnostics and treatment for systematic complaints will be attained that may provide opportunities for future diagnostics.
The goal of this observational study is to observe and describe the prevalence, types, and risk factors of urinary incontinence (UI) in adult women attending primary healthcare centers in Baghdad, Iraq. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the prevalence of incontinence among the targeted group? - What are the types of incontinence and what is the frequency of each type among the targeted group? - What is the effect of several risk factors on the occurrence and severity of urinary incontinence (including age, job, sexual activity, chronic constipation, chronic cough, parity, largest birth weight, and body mass index)? Participants will be asked to fill out a questionnaire consisting of the Arabic International Consultation On Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (Arabic ICIQ-UI SF) in addition to questions about the aforementioned risk factors.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Voro Urologic Scaffold as a prophylactic treatment for post-prostatectomy stress urinary incontinence. The study is a prospective, multicenter, single arm study. Up to 40 subjects will be treated at up to 3 investigational sites in Panama. Subjects will be followed up post-treatment at catheter removal, 6 weeks post prostatectomy, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 2 years.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if prophylactic antibiotics in urethral bulking are effective in reducing postprocedural urinary tract infections.
Tele-rehabilitation involves health care services, support and information provided remotely via digital communication and devices. It intends to facilitate effective delivery of health services such as physical therapy by improving access to care and information and managing health care resources. Other terms such as telehealth, telemonitoring, tele-rehabilitation, tele-education and tele-assistance describe digital practice. Due to the pandemic caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), health associations worldwide have released recommendations about care from distance using tools of communication and information technologies
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of transobturator tape (TOT) operation and urethral ligament plication operation in stress incontinence patients. The main question: - Which operation is more effective in treatment of stress incontinence? - Which operation has less complication and risks? Participants will be followed about 5 days, 2.5 months, 6 months and 1 year after the operation and asked about the continence status and complications.
The purpose of this study is to allow us to assess the effectiveness (or success) of starting pelvic floor physical therapy (i.e. exercises for your pelvic muscles) prior to HoLEP (holmium laser enucleation of the prostate) surgery for enlarged prostates in order to manage or prevent urinary incontinence (i.e. leaking) after surgery (i.e. post-operatively). Your pelvic floor refers to the muscles under your bladder along your pelvic bones that prevent you from leaking urine or stool. Traditionally, pelvic floor physical therapy is started after surgery and continued until urinary continence (i.e. no leaking of urine) is regained. We want to assess if beginning pelvic floor physical therapy prior to surgery (and continuing afterwards) reduces the time required to regain urinary continence following HoLEP.
Background: Men who are treated for prostate cancer often develop urinary leakage (incontinence). An experimental device that uses electrical impulses to stimulate pelvic floor muscles and surrounding tissues may help. Objective: To see if the Elidah device can reduce urinary incontinence after prostate treatment. Eligibility: Men aged 18 years and older who have had moderate urinary incontinence for at least 6 months after treatment for prostate cancer. Design: Participants will be in the study for about 9 weeks. They will be screened. They will have a physical exam with urine tests. The Elidah device consists of a Controller and a GelPad. The Controller sets the strength of electrical impulses. The GelPad is placed against the skin under the pelvis. Participants will be given an Elidah device and taught how to use it at home. They will use the device once a day for 20 minutes at a time; they will do this 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Participants will complete a daily log. They will record the strength of electrical impulses (0-35); the number of incontinence episodes; the type of incontinence episode; and the number of used pads. Participants will do a pad weight test. For 3 days before and 3 days after using the Elidah device, they will collect all of their used pads for each 24-hour period into a sealed plastic bag. They will also collect a second set of bags that contain dry versions of each product used. Participants will have clinic visits after using the device for 3 weeks and after finishing the 6 weeks of treatment. Participants will complete 15-minute questionnaires.
Stress urinary incontinence, or involuntary urine leakage during activities like coughing, laughing, or exercise, is a common condition that impacts quality of life for many women. Pelvic floor muscle training is often used to treat stress incontinence, but additional therapies may enhance outcomes. This randomized controlled trial will compare two physical therapy modalities, pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy versus laser acupuncture, along with pelvic floor training for improving stress urinary incontinence in 60 adult women. The study will evaluate their effects on pelvic floor muscle strength, severity of urine leakage, and quality of life. We hypothesize that PEMF and laser acupuncture will both improve stress incontinence, but PEMF will be more effective based on greater pelvic floor stimulation. The study aims to provide evidence on these physical therapy options so that optimized treatment plans can be developed for women with stress urinary incontinence.
Background and purpose: The research team developed the PelviSense, a non-invasive biofeedback device paired with wearable EMG sensors for use as a PFMT adjunct. The proposed study aims to (1) investigate the efficacy of PelviSense-assisted PFMT compared with unassisted PFMT on SUI in women, and (2) identify the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of PFMT for the treatment of SUI. Methods: A two-arm, parallel-group RCT will be conducted using 132 non-pregnant women with SUI, aged 18-60 years. The study participants will be randomised into two study groups: PelviSense-assisted PFMT or unassisted PFMT. Women will be supervised in the performance of PelviSense-assisted and unassisted PFMT on a 1:1 basis for 4 weeks and instructed to perform unsupervised home exercises for 24 weeks after the completion of supervised training. The primary outcome will be the severity of urine loss, as measured using the one-hour pad test. Secondary outcomes will include quality of life, SUI symptoms severity, and PFM strength, as measured using the incontinence impact questionnaire, short-form, international consultation on incontinence questionnaire, short-form, and modified Oxford scale, respectively. Mediator variables will include the following: bladder neck elevation and levator hiatus area. Outcomes and mediator variables will be assessed at baseline, 4, and 28 weeks. Statistical analysis: Treatment and mediation effects will be evaluated using analysis of covariance and the Hayes' PROCESS macro, respectively.
