Filter by:The study is a single arm, prospective study of the safety and effectiveness of the Valencia Technologies eCoin System to stimulate the tibial nerve for the treatment of patients with refractory urgency urinary incontinence.
After reconstructive pelvic surgery urinary retention occurs in up to 60% of patients requiring an indwelling catheter or self-catheterization (1-5). Up to 35% of women with acute retention experience urinary tract infections in the postoperative period (6, 7). Many women consider being discharged with a Foley catheter to be a surgical complication and describe catheter use as the worst aspect of their surgery(8). At this time there is no consensus within the field of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS) on how to best assess voiding function postoperatively. FPMRS providers both within the United States and around the world utilize a variety of void trial methods and varying criteria to determine adequacy of post-operative voiding efficiency (5). The traditional backfill assisted void trial method involves the assessment of a postvoid residual (PVR) volume obtained either via catheterization or bladder scan (3). Recently, there have been efforts to determine ways to avoid the assessment of a PVR as it is time-consuming and potentially exposes the patient to additional catheterizations (9, 10). Many FPMRS providers utilize the backfill assisted method without assessing a PVR and instead utilize a certain voided volume threshold to determine adequate voiding. However, to date, no one has directly studied this approach or compared the traditional backfill assisted void trial to a PVR-free backfill assisted void trial. By decreasing catheterization and creating a more efficient void trial method, the investigators hope improve patients' postoperative experience and reduce catheterization and risk of urinary tract infection (UTI). This study aims to compare two void trial methodologies in order to help standardize post-operative care in the urogynecology population. This study also has potential to lead to an overall change in our field and improve the postoperative course for women across the country and abroad.
What test is most sensitive in identifying stress urinary incontinence in women with pelvic organ prolapse; urodynamics, cough stress test, or pyridium pad test? The hypothesis states that there is a difference between the sensitivity of UDS, pyridium pad test and cough stress tests, with UDS being the most sensitive and the gold standard in identifying SUI in patients with pelvic organ prolapse.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of guided versus non guided pelvic floor exercises for urinary incontinence in patients with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
The purpose of this study is to determine the interactions between pregnancy and urinary stress incontinence in women with a mid-urethral sling (MUS). The specific aims of the 2 sub studies are: Study 1: The main aims of Study 1 are to evaluate any potential impact on urinary stress continence after a pregnancy/delivery following MUS surgery, and to evaluate any potential differences in continence status based on the mode of delivery for these women. Study 2: The aim of Study 2 is to examine how obstetric factors may affect the degree of incontinence in women registered in The Norwegian female incontinence registry prior to surgical treatment. In addition, we want to explore if there are obstetric risk factors predicting failure of a MUS surgery performed after pregnancy/delivery.
The pilot study is intended to show the efficacy of intravesical electrical stimulation in treating overactive bladder with or without frequency and/or urgency urinary incontinence.
The aim of the study is to investigate the navigation of a newly developed catheter.
The aim of the study is to test the performance and safety of a newly developed intermittent catheter
The aim of the study is to test the performance and safety of a newly developed intermittent catheter in healthy volunteers.
The purpose of this investigation is to compare the clinical benefits of using the Pelvital product, in comparison to a sham procedure as a noninvasive treatment for female incontinence
