Stress Urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common health condition in female population. Although its prevalence increases with the age, women of all ages could be affected. Several epidemiological studies have shown an association of SUI with Low Back Pain (LBP) demonstrating, moreover, that the presence of one condition may predispose the patient to the onset of the other. Concerning the LBP, the clinical practice guidelines provided recommendations for physical rehabilitative treatment. Different techniques and physical exercises have been developed and it is difficult at the date to affirm the superiority of one approach as compared to another. Moreover, the crucial role plays by the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) both as an integral part of trunk and lumbo-pelvic stability and in maintenance of urinary continence, lead the pelvic floor muscles disfunction to be associated both with SUI and LBP, making the PFM rehabilitation a useful approach in both the conditions. In this rehabilitative context the present study aims to verify the effectiveness of a global physical approach based on postural re-education combined to the pelvic floor rehabilitation in women with diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence associated with non-specific chronic low back pain.
The aim of this study is to investigate the visceral fat reduction versus total body fat reduction on stress urinary incontinence in obese females.
Randomized clinical trial (RCT) will be conducted to compare the effects of Tanzberger exercises and pelvic floor muscle training on urinary incontinence and quality of life in post_menopausal females suffering from urine incontinence in which data will be collected from Razahat Medical Centre, Lahore via International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence-Short Form score (ICIQ-UI-SF) and incontinence quality of life (IQOL) Questionnaire. Sample size of 34 patients will be taken. Non_probability convenient sampling will be used. A written consent form will be taken from participants meeting inclusion criteria and will be randomly allocated into two groups through lottery method, to either the PFMs group or Tanzberger exercise group. Treatment will be given three times a week. International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire, Urinary Incontinence-Short Form Questionnaire and Incontinence quality of life will be used to measure quality of life. All participants in both groups will be evaluated before and after the treatment programs. Total duration of study will be six months. Data will be analyzed by using SPSS 21
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and urinary incontinence (UI) are common female disorders. Accurate diagnosis of the aetiology of pelvic organ descent and prolapse with or without accompanying urination disorders is essential for appropriate therapeutic management. Imaging and functional urodynamic testing are being increasingly used in the diagnosis of this pathology, because precise assessment of the damage to the supporting and ligament apparatus is essential for therapeutic success. Pelvic floor ultrasound can facilitate dynamic assessment of static changes that occur during functional tests. Such assessments can provide additional insights into existing defects, which have explorative value and allow for targeted correction of damage, and may thus indirectly contribute to reduced rates of revision surgeries.
Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as involuntary urinary leakage or inability to control urine. Various physiological changes during pregnancy, including collagen changes, hormonal changes, and increased uterine and fetal weight, contribute to the weakening of the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) during pregnancy. Approximately, 42% of women experience their first UI during pregnancy, and up to 31% of parous women have UI. Women with persistent UI after delivery may continue to experience UI for another 12 years. Therefore, UI during pregnancy may be an essential risk factor for subsequent UI among women. This Study will result in a product called Pelvi-Fit app that will help patients to self-treat their Pelvic Floor disorders in a way that is approved by medical experts. It will allow the patient to train their pelvic floor muscles independently who are not able to get medical assistance due to being in remote areas or any other reason.
The first phase of the study was carried out to determine the prevalence and risk factors of urinary incontinence in non-menopausal women over 18 years of age registered in a Family Health Center. The second phase of the study was carried out to examine the effects of the education and counseling program based on the 'Pender's Health Promotion Model' on women's self-esteem, sexual satisfaction and quality of life in women with urinary incontinence. Research Questions What is the prevalence of UI in non-menopausal women over the age of 18 who are registered with the Family Health Center? What are the risk factors for urinary incontinence? Research Hypotheses H1: There is a difference between the urinary incontinence severity levels of women who received and did not receive education and counseling program based on Pender's health promotion model. H2: There is a difference between the self-esteem levels of women who received and did not receive a training and counseling program based on Pender's health promotion model. H3: There is a difference between the sexual satisfaction levels of women who received and did not receive the training and counseling program based on Pender's health promotion model. H4: There is a difference between the quality of life levels of women who received training and counseling programs based on Pender's health promotion model and those who did not. In the second stage of the study, the 'Training and Counseling Program Based on Pender's Health Promotion Model' and 'Home Monitoring and Counseling Program' were applied to the intervention group, which was prepared according to Pender's Health Promotion Model. During the three-month period, the intervention group received 3 home visits one, two and three months after the training program, and 3 phone calls 15 days after the training program and each home visit. No intervention was made in the control group; Data collection forms were applied simultaneously with the intervention group and they were reminded that they were in the research by making a phone call.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate and compare the effects of electrostimulation in addition to pelvic floor muscle training and pelvic floor muscle training alone on pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function, urinary incontinence and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence. The main questions are: What is the effect of electrostimulation combined with pelvic floor muscle training on pelvic floor muscle function, symptoms of urinary incontinence and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence? What is the effect of pelvic floor muscle training program on pelvic floor muscle function, symptoms of urinary incontinence and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence? Which intervention is more effective - electrostimulation with pelvic floor muscle training or pelvic floor muscle training alone? Participants will be evaluated before and after the interventions with the following methods: International Incontinence Counseling Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF) Pelvic floor muscle strength and endurance will be assessed with a "Pelvexiser" perineometer.
Surgical outcomes of bladder neck surgery in children with neurogenic bladder. Consequences on bladder voiding.
The study is a randomised, single-blinded, controlled crossover study. The total study duration for the individual subject will be between two days - two weeks, consisting of three site visits. Visits 0 and 1 can be performed on the same day. Visit 2 can be performed the day after visit 1. For visit 1 and 2, catheterizations will be performed in a hospital setting by a health care professional for bladder emptying assessment and collection of urine samples for haematuria assessment. A sub-group of subjects (all enrolled subjects at DK sites) will be asked to conduct a self-catheterization at visit 2 after hcp catheterization and evaluate discomfort and PVR. The total study duration for the individual subject will be up to 14 days.
