Filter by:To evaluate efficacy of tolterodine extended release formulation compared with immediate release formulation in subjects with symptoms of overactive bladder
A study designed to assess the efficacy, toleration and safety of SS-RBX for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
The main aim of the study is to investigate whether taking Tolterodine for overactive bladder symptoms can reduce the thickness of the bladder wall, as measured by intra-vaginal ultrasound. This will help doctors to understand whether there is a link between changes in the thickness of the bladder wall and progression of symptoms.
Urinary incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine) is an extremely common, distressing and socially disabling condition. It is known to affect up to 14 % of the adult female population in the United Kingdom. Sufferers tend to become social recluses, not wanting to socialise for fear of embarrassment and ridicule. It typically takes up to 5 years from the onset of symptoms for a patient to admit their problem, seek help and reach a specialist. Unfortunately, it is commonest in the elderly when the incidence is as high as 50% in some studies. Furthermore, this group of patients are the least likely to seek help, the least likely to receive help and up until recently the least likely to be cured of their problems. Things are improving however, as everyone is more prepared to talk about this awful condition rather than accept it as a part of growing old. Furthermore, better treatments are becoming available which can help the old as well as the young. Two years ago a new operation for urinary leakage was launched in the United Kingdom (UK). This is a smaller operation than those previously available and more suitable for the frail and elderly. We, the researchers at South Glasgow University Hospital, have been using this operation for 18 months with good success. Several versions however are now on the market, some much more expensive than the original, and perhaps not as good. We need to know which one is best and hence we intend to do a study to find out. We aim to select patients with leakage to have one or the other operation and to follow the patients over several years to find out which operation is best, safest, lasts longest and is most acceptable to patients. Only then will we know which of the versions of this procedure we should be offering our patients.
The purpose of this study is to compare efficacy and morbidity following the placement of two types of suburethral slings in women presenting with stress urinary incontinence: TVT and TVT-O.
This study is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of treatment of overactive bladder with darifenacin administered alone or in conjunction with behavioral modification therapies.
The IRIS project stands for Incontinence Research Intervention Study. The purpose of this research project is to develop an effective behavioral therapy for urinary incontinence and specifically to test Knack therapy, a self-help treatment. The Knack therapy involves learning the skill of performing a pelvic muscle contraction simultaneously with an event known to trigger leakage, in order to stop that leakage.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether surgical section of the filum terminale in children, when added to standard medical therapy, will result in a reliable and clinically-significant improvement in two main markers of incontinence within/at 12 months after treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a minimally invasive surgical procedure in up to 160 implanted female patients in which two adjustable balloons (one on each side of the urethra) are implanted to treat urinary stress incontinence. The results will be analyzed to demonstrate the effects of the device as well as its associated risks. Therapeutic success will be based on whether the patients demonstrate at least a one-grade (mean) reduction in the Stamey score at 12 months.
The Colpopexy and Urinary Reduction Effort (CARE) trial is a research study designed to evaluate whether the addition of a second surgical procedure in addition to a procedure for female pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects the rates of urinary incontinence. This study will follow women in the CARE study for 10 years from the time of the surgery to compare success and complication rates in the two groups. Recruitment into this study is open only to women that already participated in CARE. Recruitment into CARE is closed.
