Filter by:The goal of this research study is to investigate the effect of a new neuromuscular approach for correcting pelvic alignment and improving pelvic floor muscle function. Investigators hypothesized that this approach would be significantly superior than no intervention to improve the ability of pelvic floor muscle contraction, measured by transabdominal sonography as bladder base elevation. Participants will be randomized to the intervention and control groups. while intervention group will receive five supervised sessions of pelvic realigning exercises, the control group will receive no intervention. Bladder base elevation will be measured as an indicator of pelvic floor muscle function, before and after one week intervention in both control and intervention groups.
This study will compare the clinical efficacy and safety between rPMS device and pelvic floor exercises for the treatment of urinary incontinence. The subjects will be enrolled and assigned into two study groups - active and control group. Subjects will be required to complete six (6) treatment visits and five follow-up visits - 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after the final treatment.
In practice, the Investigators recommend that patients bring a family member or close friend to their pre-operative appointment to help with patient anxiety, comprehension, and informed decision-making. However, there is limited literature to support this recommendation. The investigators are exploring if having a support person present during this consent process impacts anxiety, satisfaction, knowledge, and preparedness for surgery.
Urinary incontinence or loss of bladder control is a troublesome issue for all affected patients. The causes of urinary incontinence and its treatment options vary widely. A commonly encountered reason for urinary incontinence in men is related to treatment for prostate cancer. These treatment options can range from surgical removal of the prostate, external beam radiation therapy, and/or brachytherapy, the insertion of radioactive implants directly into the tissue. Mild cases of incontinence are responsive to more conservative measures, but moderate to severe cases often require placement of an artificial urinary sphincter. Typically, these devices are left deactivated for a period of 4- 6 weeks following implantation to allow swelling to subside before use. The investigators hypothesize that the device could be activated within an earlier timeframe without increasing the risk of complications. No studies to date have evaluated this; therefore the investigators plan to conduct a prospective study in which the investigators will activate the device 3 weeks after placement and monitor for complications.
This is the prospective randomized parallel groups trial with two participating centers (Department of Urology, Saint Petersburg State University Clinic of advanced medical technologies n.a. N.I.Pirogov, Saint Petersburg, Russia; Department of Urology, Regional Hospital №3, Chelyabinsk, Russia) designed to assess the efficacy and safety of tunable-tension transobturator tape and its ability to reduce the rate of postoperative voiding dysfunction comparing to standard transobturator midurethral sling.
The aims of this pilot study are to examine the feasibility and to explore the effects of a physiotherapy treatment compared to standard usual care in gynecological cancer survivors with urinary incontinence in preparation of a large randomized controlled study.
The investigators aimed to evaluate outcomes of transobturator urethral sling placement using autologous rectus fascia for female stress urinary incontinence at perioperatively and at 2-year follow-up.
The objective of the study is to compare the effects of visceral manual therapy associated with pelvic floor muscle training on urinary incontinence symptoms, vaginal resting pressure and maximum voluntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles in women. This is a randomized controlled trial with double blinding. Participants will be randomized into two groups: control and experimental. Both groups will undergo a pelvic floor muscle training program twice weekly for 5 consecutive weeks. Participants in the intervention group will also receive, once a week, a visceral manual therapy protocol and control group participants will receive a manual sham therapy protocol.
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.
