Filter by:Cystocele, a protrusion of the bladder, happens while the bladder descends into the vagina. There are more than one underlying causes for the development of cystocele ensuing in weak point of the muscles and the connective tissue surrounding the bladder and vagina. This study will be a randomized clinical trial. After the department permission of physical therapy data will be collected from patient of Jinnah Hospital. Data will be collected before and after treatment. Randomization will be done by lottery method. Group A will be given pelvic floor strengthning exercises and goup B will be given transverse abdominas strengthning exercises. Each group will have 33 patients each. A 6-week physical therapy program will be planned. Group A will be given pelvic floor muscle strengthning exercise and the group B will given transverse abdominas exercises.Data will be entered and analysed by SPSS version 25.
There is a gap between research and clinical practice, leading to variability in decision-making. Clinical audits are an effective strategy for improving implementation of best practices. Quasi-experimental, multicentre, before and after. Primary care, hospital units and nursing homes, and the patients attended at both. Implementation of evidence-based recommendations by application of a continuous quality improvement cycle model (process of improvement by reference to a prior baseline clinical audit. Data will be collected at baseline and, during the first year of follow up, at months (3, 6, 12)
Post-Prostatectomy Incontinence (PPI) is a common complication affecting 1% to 40% of patients after surgery. When conservative treatments fail, the installation of an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) has been the treatment of choice for PPI since its introduction more than 50 years ago. Although small studies suggest inferior success rate of male slings compare to the AUS in moderate to severe male incontinence; recent studies, one prospective and one Canadian multicenter cohort study, have demonstrated adjustable transobturator male sling (ATOMS) as a safe and efficient alternative to treat PPI. Interestingly, the ATOMS does not required any operation manipulation from the user in order to void and it causes potentially less urethral erosion and less urethral atrophy than the AUS; although those findings were never compared head to head with the AUS. Therefore, we believe that a thorough prospective non-inferiority study comparing the outcomes and effectiveness of the ATOMS device versus the AUS in treating moderate to severe PPI could prove itself useful in guiding urologists and patients to choose their best treatment of male incontinence. The null hypothesis posed for the present study is that ATOMS is non inferior to AUS for the treatment of moderate to severe PPI using the non-inferiority margin of 15% to be of acceptable lower effectiveness. With regards to study methods, this will be a pilot prospective, randomized controlled trial, non-blinded with a non-inferiority design. This pilot study will take place at the CIUSSS de l'Estrie, in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, with two surgeons. All male patients with moderate to severe incontinence after their prostate surgery, who are suitable for incontinence surgery will be screened for study eligibility respecting the exclusion and inclusion criteria. After written informed consent, enrolled patients will be randomized assigned (1:1) to one of the two interventions' arms (AUS or ATOMS). Sixty patients are estimated to be randomized in the two arms the day of their surgery with a computer-based algorithm sequence. By completing this pilot prospective study, we hope to provide concrete and scientifically significant evidence on the effectiveness of ATOMS in the treatment of moderate to severe PPI comparing with the AUS. Although both treatments are commonly used today, there has been little evidence comparing both devices side by side with more severe PPI. We therefore hope to make a global impact with said project.
Urinary incontinence is common females., it badly affects their performance and result in psychosocial problems in addition to the barriers that already have been resulted from incontinence. This study combines simple regime of hip adductor a strengthening with pelvic floor muscles. The theme is to test if pelvic floor muscle training can be augmented by incorporating adductor muscle strengthening. If this comes out to be effective, this can be great contribution to gym doing females to improve their urinary incontinence related impairments. Woman would be encouraged to continue regular exercise. This will be randomized clinical trial. There are two groups for the compression of adductors strengthening and pelvic floor muscle strengthening. The collected data will be entered in SPSS 20.0, Descriptive and Inferential statists will be applied. Results and conclusion will be drawn.
The aim of this prospective study is investigation of efficiency and safety of medical device "Magic Gyno" in accordance with the stated purpose. To assess the condition of the vaginal walls and vulva before and after laser treatment, the following methods will be used: gynecology examination, vaginal health index, clinical blood test, vaginal flora examination, vaginal pH. International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and The Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) will be used to collect feedback on changes in the participants life quality. Total up to 70 participants with pathology of pelvic organs will be involved in the study. Participants will be divided into two groups: group with genitourinary symptoms and group with vaginal relaxation symptoms, by 35 participants in each. The time intervals between tests will be the same for both groups. The main hypothesis of the study is improvement in condition of the vaginal walls after laser treatment compared with the condition before treatment.
The primary outcome of this study compare the rate of pessary discontinuation at 6 months post-pessary fitting in women using vaginal estradiol versus those not using vaginal estradiol.
To evaluate postoperative course, efficacy, and complication rates of Open Burch Colposuspension and Laparoscopic Burch Colposuspension techniques in stress or mixed urinary incontinence at a single training and research hospital over the last 10 years in Istanbul, Turkey.

Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a condition that affects around 40% of postmenopausal women and is therefore considered a public health problem. Conservative treatment is recommended, and pelvic floor muscle training (PMT) is considered the gold standard for this type of condition. However, other possibilities of exercises have been studied to achieve continence, such as Pilates exercises, which focus on the stabilizing muscles and request a voluntary contraction of the muscles of the pelvic floor (PFM), it is believed that it can recruit fibers from these muscles, improving muscle function and episodes of urinary incontinence. However, the literature is still inconclusive regarding the effects of Pilates exercises on urinary incontinence and PFM function. Objective: To compare the effects of 3 months of muscle training, through TMAP and Pilates exercises on the improvement of UI in postmenopausal women. Methods: 40 postmenopausal women with urinary incontinence will be randomly assigned to two intervention groups: pelvic floor muscle training and Pilates exercises. The evaluations will be carried out before the interventions and after three months of them, and will involve the following instruments: urinary incontinence and aspects related to quality of life, assessed using the International Consultation of Urinary Incontinence questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF); 7-day voiding diary, used to identify possible modifiable factors related to urination and its frequency; Pad-test used to identify and quantify UI; Feeling Scale, to portray the affective valence of the exercises; Female Sexual Function Index, which will assess female sexual function; Manometric assessment of muscle strength and PFM endurance with Epi-no; and Manometric evaluation by bidigital palpation using the PERFECT test. Shapiro Wilk tests will be performed to verify normality, Student's t or Mann Whitney U test according to parametric or non-parametric distribution, ANCOVA for comparison between groups in the post-intervention, considering the 95% confidence interval (p<0.05) . The data will be processed in the SPSS 25.0 program.
The purpose of this study is to assess and to compare the efficacy of a face to face versus a remote physiotherapy instruction session about pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function, including teaching women how to contract their PFM and how to perceive a correct PFM contraction. Study participants will be randomly assigned to participate in one of the three study groups: Group 1 will receive face to face instructions, Group 2 will receive real time remote instructions and Group 3 will not receive any instruction. The primary outcome measure is PFM function assessed using the modified Oxford Scale.
