Filter by:Incontinence associates with military service and post-traumatic stress disorder in both male and female Veterans. Neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) is caused by spinal cord injury or disorder, or peripheral neurodegenerative conditions, and causes urine leakage at low volumes. NDO is disproportionately experienced by Veterans and treatment effectiveness varies greatly between individuals. This project will demonstrate the feasibility of a new type of nerve stimulation-triggered sacral neuromodulation-to treat NDO in Veterans. A wireless bladder sensor will be inserted into the bladder to transmit a feedback signal enabling stimulation from a percutaneous lead. The wireless sensor will also measure NDO symptoms during simulated activities of daily living without catheters. Catheter-free detection of bladder activity will improve the outcomes of neuromodulation evaluations for Veterans with NDO. Future work could use the triggered neuromodulation system to study other methods of nerve stimulation to treat bladder, bowel, or sexual dysfunction.
The purpose of this study is tp evaluate the changes in stress induced Urethral Leak Point Pressures (LPP) and other urodynamic measurements in response to acute pudendal nerve stimulation (PNS) in patients with a pre-existing implanted urological neurostimulator stimulating the pudendal nerve.
The aim of this study is to investigate effects of external electric stimulating in individuals with urinary incontinence after prostatectomy.
The precise role of the intrinsic circadian regulatory mechanism behind the pathogenesis of enuresis is not fully understood, but in theory, circadian rhythm irregularity may be the primary pathogenic mechanism not only for urinary outflow mechanisms but also for nocturnal bladder function. The proximity between SCN centers that control AVP release, sleep/arousal, voiding, and baroreregulation may provide the basis for circadian rhythm disturbance in one or more of these biological functions. Ganglion cells containing melanopsin pigment in the retina transmit the information they receive from the outside world about the light-dark state to the SCN via the retinohypothalamic pathway. Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, optic nerve head and macula are examined most frequently for the diagnosis of glaucoma and the detection of progression with optical coherence tomography (OCT). If differences in ganglion cell thickness can be detected using OCT in these children, a new avenue in Enuresis Nocturna may be opened.
Objective The study is designed to compare the benefit of self-assessment of a home-based wearable device assisted pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) to standard supervised PMFT program for women with SUI/MUI (stress urinary incontinence/mixed urinary incontinence). Background National and international clinical practice guidelines recommend supervised pelvic floor muscle training of at least 3 months' duration as a first-line treatment to women (including the elderly and post-natal) with stress or mixed urinary incontinence (Level of evidence A). However, it remains unknown that which component could bring extra benefit when assisted with surprised PFMT. Patients selection and study design The study protocol was approved by the Peking union medical college hospital ethics committee (JS-3192D, 26/10/2021). Women who had their 6-week to 3-month postpartum clinical visits in the member hospitals between Dec 01, 2021 and May 01, 2022 were invited to participate in the study. The women who reported SUI/MUI symptoms within 3 months postpartum were recruited. The exclusion criteria were 1）urgency urinary incontinence alone; 2）a prolapse greater than stage II on examination (>1cm below the hymen on straining); 3）third and fourth degree perineal tear; 4）suffering diastasis recti abdominis and chronic pelvic pain as the primary problem need treatment; 5）a history of stress urinary incontinence(SUI) before pregnancy; 6）had previous pelvic surgery; 7）malignant pelvic cancer; 8）Genurological infection; 9）had received formal instruction on PFMT in the past 5 years; 10）unsuitable to participate because of significant diseases; 11）others:were unable to contract pelvic floor muscles on digital examination when requested;Inability to use the device in vagina. Once each participate was recruited, they were arranged randomly to either an intervention group or a control group (1:1). The intervention group used a wireless wearable vaginal device to record the pressure and practice time and the grade of type I and II pelvic floor muscle fiber strength were assessed by the device once three weeks. The control group accepted the supervised PFMT. Both groups followed the same program three months. During three months, the investigators phoned both groups once three weeks to guide their training. Both groups were assessed by questionnaire and PFM measurements at baseline(pre-test), 3-month, 6-month and 12-month. The primary outcome is ICIQ-UI SF; The secondary outcomes include POP-SS; POP-Q; Oxford Classification; Pelvic floor muscle surface electromyography; I-QOL; PISQ-12; BPMSES. The hypothesis is that the wearable device with self-assessment function providing PFMT is superior to the supervised PFMT program alone for the treatment of both SUI and MUI of postpartum women.
Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as any involuntary loss of urine. It affects a significant percentage of the population, mainly female, with a prevalence of 21.4% in Portuguese women, having a negative impact on quality of life and sexual function. About half presents with stress UI (SUI), followed by mixed UI (MUI), with isolated urgency UI being less common. Pelvic floor rehabilitiation is a first line treatment for SUI and MUI, however, it is not yet defined which is the best treatment program or the ideal strategies to improve adherence to it. Telerehabilitation assumed a leading role in the covid pandemic phase, although there are few studies on pelvic floor rehabilitation for UI, none in Portugal to date. The authors aim to evaluate the effectiveness of a hybrid program of pelvic floor rehabilitation in female patients with SUI and MUI with a predominance of SUI, including consultation and face-to-face sessions complemented with telerehabilitation.
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is defined as involuntary loss of urine on effort or physical exertion or on sneezing or coughing. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous solution of human plasma containing various growth factors witch enhance regeneration and healing process. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PRP in the treatment of the female SUI.
The study is intended to assess the safety and efficacy of Carbon dioxide AcuPulse laser treatment in patients with stress urinary incontinence. Eligible subjects will be randomized to either receive 3 laser or 3 sham treatment sessions, 4 weeks apart and 3 follow up visits 3, 6 and 12 months following the last treatment.
The present study is a clinical intervention applied to patients with urinary incontinence, with the intention of verifying the effects of the Pilates method associated or not with photobiomodulation with static magnetic field. The sample will consist of women with stress urinary incontinence from Bento Gonçalves attended at the school clinic of Faculdade Cenecista de Bento Gonçalves.
The purpose of the trial is to assess the effect of tadalafil compared to placebo (inactive comparator) on the urethral - and anal pressure and on urine flow in healthy females. Further, the purpose of the trial is to evaluate the potential for going forward with studies of tadalafil in patients suffering from urine or fecal incontinence.
