Filter by:To assess to the non-inferiority of the retropubic Neomedic Knotless Incontinence Mesh (KIM) sling compared to the Gynecare Tension-free Vaginal Tape (TVT) Exact sling. Participants: Women 21 years or older with a diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) with objective evidence of SUI planning surgery for stress urinary incontinence. Procedures (methods): Patients will be randomized to receive either the Gynecare TVT Exact sling or the retropubic Neomedic KIM sling. Patients will be followed for 1 year postoperatively.
This is a single-center, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of TTNS versus a sham intervention. Both interventions will be performed by participants in their homes after standardized instruction. The primary outcome is a comparison of the mean change in OAB-q scores before and after treatment between the intervention and control groups. Changes in the number of urgency incontinence episodes and an estimation of cost effectiveness will additionally be measured. Intention to treat analysis will be performed.
In this proposed study, the investigators aim to evaluate a modified suture urethropexy technique for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. Participants will be followed with postoperative visits after 2 weeks, 2 months, and 12 months. Pelvic floor ultrasound imaging will be performed before surgery and after 2 months and 12 months, to evaluate urethral mobility.
This study is about assessing the helpfulness of two treatment delivery methods for bladder leakage or urinary incontinence. It is being funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs. By doing this study, the investigators hope to learn which treatment method is the most helpful remote delivery method for treating bladder leakage. The total participation time in this research is 6 months. During the first 8 -12 weeks of the study, you will receive standard of care from an online educational program (MyHealtheBladder) or a video visit with a provider through VA Video Connect. You will be selected by chance to receive MyHealtheBladder or VA Video Connect. About half-way through the study, the investigators will ask you about your bladder symptoms. If your bladder symptoms are not better, you will be selected by chance to continue the previous treatment or receive an initial or booster video session with a provider. Throughout the study, you will be asked to answer questions related to your health, bladder leakage, costs due to bladder leakage, and track your behavioral training.
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a malignant tumor commonly diagnosed among men in the USA and Europe. About 81% of cases of prostate cancer are detected early on, which allows patients to receive effective treatment. High risk cancer patients may undergo radical prostatectomy (RP) which includes the removal of the entire prostate gland together with both seminal vesicles, prostatic urethra, and bilateral pelvic lymph nodes. Even though RP has been improved over decades, patients are still at risk of surgical and post-surgical complications. The most common complications include urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Pelvic floor muscle training is recognized as the physiotherapeutic modality for the treatment of urinary incontinence in men after radical prostatectomy. This method is recommended by the European Association of Urology. However, the literature analysis and systematic review carried out by our team prove that there are relatively few clinical trials with a well-developed research protocol assessing this form of therapy. In order to objectify the effects of therapy, we will assess both psychosocial aspects, as well as try to answer the question whether biochemical parameters can be a marker of pelvic floor muscles. In previous own research, we obtained promising results by examining biochemical parameters during pelvic floor muscle activity in women with stress urinary incontinence.
The purpose of this study is to monitor the use of Altis Single Incision Sling (SIS) in a real world population and collect medical data on effectiveness and to monitor safety of Altis SIS at 12 and 36 months post device implantation in women with stress urinary incontinence.
To evaluate the AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) in men with primary stress urinary incontinence as measured by pad weight tests.
This observational cohort study is aimed at determining changes in the cytokine expression profile as well as the urinary and vaginal microbiome of women undergoing midurethral sling placement for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
Investigators will test S2-S4 dermatome stimulation with spinal cord injury (SCI) individuals using intermittent catheterization to estimate the clinical impact on bladder capacity and continence. For individuals with SCI using intermittent catheterization, investigators hypothesize that dermatome stimulation will decrease bladder spasm frequency and intensity, and reduce bladder incontinence chronically. The goal of this study is to provide objective evidence for the assertion that dermatome stimulation chronically decreases bladder activity and therefore the unwanted side effects of neurogenic bladder. This project will improve the understanding of the neurophysiology of afferent-mediated neural pathways that affect bladder function, and translate recent advances discovered in animal and human studies into clinical research and treatment. The ability to void safely and effectively by electrical stimulation without cutting sacral nerves or the external urethral sphincter would be a major advance. A socially acceptable, predictable and reliable device for reducing incontinence would be widely used and improve quality of life.
This study will assess the feasibility and success of performing the SolyxTM SIMUS in the office using the Dynamic Interactive Standing Sling Technique (DISSTTM). Study endpoints will be feasibility, composite success, complications, and patient and physician acceptance.
