Filter by:The study investigates the impact of abdominoplasty in the post partum population on the symptoms of back pain and urinary incontinence. Patients presenting for abdominoplasty fill out validated questionnaires for both back pain (Oswestry Disability Index) and urinary incontinence (ICIQ-UI short form). They complete the same questionnaires 6 weeks and 6 months post op. The prospectively gathered data gives an insight into the incidence of functional symptoms in this post partum group preop as well as the degree of improvement gained postop. This is a multicenter trial with 9 surgeons submitting patients to the study, which ran for 19 months.
The goal of this study is to obtain data about the effectiveness, reach, adoption, and implementation potential of an innovative, combined urinary/bowel continence workshop through a randomized controlled trial in six Wisconsin communities. This three-session workshop is based on proven principles of behavior change addressing urinary and bowel continence self-management and health education and has been developed specifically for administration to women age 50 and older in senior centers. We hypothesize that workshop participants will experience improvements in urinary and bowel incontinence symptoms, will have increased levels of care-seeking and self-efficacy for these conditions, and will maintain the self-management strategies taught in the workshop 3 months following completion of the workshop. We further hypothesize that this workshop will reach its intended target population (independent senior women with incontinence) and will improve their mental health by destigmatizing the condition of incontinence.
he idea of the experiment is to calculate the volume of fluid that is required to raise cuff pressure from 20 cmH2O to 120 cmH2O in the American Medical System's AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS).
Does a twice weekly, 12-week Pilates pelvic floor strengthening program improve short- and long-term measures of stress urinary incontinence symptoms in women ages 45-70 years of age?
The overall objective of this study is to establish if testosterone replacement in post-menopausal women with low testosterone levels and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) will lead to improvement in symptoms of SUI. This study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, clinical trial and will involve sixty (60) post-menopausal women with clinically diagnosed stress urinary incontinence and low testosterone concentrations. These subjects will enter the control period, which involves the baseline measurements of pelvic floor muscle volume and strength, amounts of urine leakage in 24-hour period, urodynamic parameters, and quality of life using Incontinence Impact Questionnaire and Urogenital Distress Inventory. Subjects are then randomly assigned to either placebo (30 subjects) or 300 mcg/twice-weekly testosterone patch (30 subjects) group. Both the subjects and investigators will be blinded. The duration of the testosterone/control study will be 36 weeks, with weeks 1-3 screening/control period, 4-28 application of placebo or testosterone patches and 29-36 recovery time/assessment of effects.
The purpose of this study is to determine if TAR-302-5018, an investigational drug-delivery system, is safe and tolerable in patients with idiopathic overactive bladder and urinary incontinence.
A double-blinded, randomized, crossover study in healthy females with placebo and single dose imipramine 50 mg. Primary objective: Does imipramine increase the tone of the external urethral sphincter? Urethral Opening Pressure (UOP) is measured with Urethral Pressure Reflectometry (UPR). UOP increases correlate with effect in treating stress urinary incontinence. Can imipramine treat stress urinary incontinence? Secondary objective: Does imipramine increase the tone of the anal sphincter? The opening pressure is measured with Anal Acoustic Reflectometry (AAR). The investigators also wish to establish the within-subject standard deviation for AAR to enable power calculations in future studies.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a comprehensive treatment programme for self-management of mixed and urgency urinary incontinence via a mobile app is effective.
To investigate the relationship between post-operative bladder neck levels and urodynamic parameters and their effect on urinary incontinence after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP). Forty-eight consecutive patients undergoing LRP were retrospectively reviewed. All patients had investigated by retrograde cystography after LRP and were grouped according their bladder neck position: Level 0: bladder neck at or above the superior margin of the symphysis pubis (SMSP), Level -1: bladder neck at <2 cm below SMSP, and Level -2: bladder neck at >2 cm below SMSP. Urodynamic studies were carried out at baseline, 3 and 6 months post-operatively. Early recovery of urinary continence was defined as no urine leakage or only one pad/day used within 3 months after surgery. Demographic characteristics, changes of urodynamic parameters and continence outcomes were analyzed.
