Filter by:Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is the first line therapy recommended by NICE for the treatment of SUI. Due to poor motivation and compliance only 15-20% of women comply with the regimen. Whole body vibration (WBV) exercise has been developed as a new modality in the field of physiotherapy. The Galileo machine is a unique device for applying whole-body vibration. The investigators are currently using this therapy as an alternative to traditional pelvic floor muscle therapy. The investigators aim to audit the investigators treatment of whole body vibration.
The investigators aim is to augment the current process for surgical consent for patients undergoing urogynecological procedures by incorporating visual media. We propose that visual media will be an effective and efficient addition to the standard of care in urogynecological consents and will improve patient understanding and satisfaction. Our randomized controlled trial will investigate the effect of standardizing the consent for three urogynecologic procedures (vaginal hysterectomy, robotic sacrocolpopexy, and sub-urethral sling) using visual media, on patients' understanding of, and satisfaction with, their procedure. Our primary outcome will be patient's knowledge score at the end of the pre-operative clinic visit, and secondary outcomes include patients' satisfaction, subjective understanding of their procedure, immediate pre-operative and post-operative knowledge, and number of post-operative encounters. Participants will be followed up to their post-operative clinic visit.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether electrical pudendal nerve stimulation is more effective than transvaginal electrical stimulation in treating urge urinary incontinence (UUI).
The purpose of the study is to determine if the administration of liposomal bupivacaine at the completion of a suburethral sling procedure will result in decreased postoperative pain compared to no injection.
To study the safety and potential efficacy of Autologous Muscle Derived Cells for Urinary Sphincter Repair (AMDC-USR) for the treatment of male stress urinary incontinence (SUI) for patients that have undergone prior prostate surgery.
The purpose of this investigation is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the GTU artificial urinary sphincter device in restoring continence in males who have confirmed urinary stress incontinence for a minimum of 12 months with primary etiology being radical prostatectomy or transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
Based on previous studies the single incision minisling is an easy less invasive procedure with fewer complications and cure rate similar to conventional midurethral slings in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that the single incision mini-sling placed in the "U" position is not inferior to TVT in this patient population.
Introduction: Hypopressive Exercises are included within a method of physiotherapy which was created with the purpose of strengthening the deep muscles of the abdomen without damaging ligamentous and muscular structures of the perineum, also strengthening the muscles of pelvic floor reflexively. Although this technique has been included as treatment and a prevention method of pelvic floor dysfunction, there are few studies supporting its benefits. The investigators hypothesis is that the combination of both physiotherapy treatments will provided the best results for women who suffer pelvic floor dysfunctions. Objective: To determine whether Hypopressive Exercises are an option to include in the physiotherapy treatment of women suffer at least one pelvic floor dysfunction and whether the results reported are comparable to those provided by pelvic-perineal physiotherapy. Subjects and methods: A randomized clinical trial, the examiner being blinded unaware of the intervention group to which subjects were assigned. Participants will be randomly assigned to three groups: 1. An experimental group, where the participants will be treated by Hypopressive exercises and hygienic and behavioral measures; 2. Another experimental group where pelvic-perineal physiotherapy will join with Hypopressive exercises and hygienic and behavioral advises; 3. And a third group where will be done pelvic-perineal physiotherapy and hygienic and behavioral measures. Pre- intervention, immediate post-intervention, 3, 6 and 12 months assessments will be made. The selection criteria will be: adult women who present signs and symptoms that indicate a pelvic floor dysfunction or have a medical diagnosis to confirm it. All participants must understand and sign freely Informed Consent. Sample size: Accepting an alpha risk of 0.05 and a beta risk of 0.2 in a bilateral contrast, 26 subjects were required in each group to detect a difference equal to or greater than 3 microvolts (Total of 78 subjects). It assumes a standard deviation of 4.8 microvolts and the rate of loss to follow up esteem 20% (Magalhães-Resende et al. 2012). Data Analysis: A descriptive analysis of all variables was performed. It establish for all cases a confidence level of 95% (p <0.05). The effectiveness was assessed by comparing the experienced change of the three goups in outcome variables between physicaltherapy examinations.
To aim of this study is to establish the feasibility of undertaking a phase III trial of transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve electrical stimulation (TPTNS) to alleviate stroke-related urinary incontinence.
Radical prostatectomy is a common and effective treatment for prostate cancer but is associated with urinary incontinence that can persist for several months after surgery and significantly reduce quality of life. Studies have shown that routine performance of pelvic floor exercises after radical prostatectomy can aid in the recovery of urinary control; however, conventional pelvic floor exercises do not produce consistent results. Research indicates that incorporating other deep abdominal muscles can further activate the pelvic floor making it stronger than by activating the pelvic floor alone. Specifically, 'Pfilates' and 'Hypopressives' are two new techniques that combine traditional pelvic floor exercises with activation of supportive muscles. Our proposed study will be the first to test the effect of an advanced pelvic floor exercise training program that includes Pfilates and Hypopressives to treat urinary incontinence following radical prostatectomy. Our primary aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of conducting a full-scale RCT of an advanced pelvic floor exercise training program, including standard pelvic floor exercises, Pfilates, and Hypopressives techniques on urinary incontinence. Feasibility will be determined by measuring recruitment success, retention, outcome capture, and intervention adherence, tolerance, and safety. We hypothesize men under going radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer in the advance pelvic floor training program will report greater improvement in urinary incontinence and health-related quality of life.
