Filter by:In this retrospective study the outcome of pelvic floor muscle training in 150 women will be tested regarding patients reported satisfaction and achievement of the incontinence improvement. Comparison of two age groups, controlled for BMI, parity and previous incontinence operations.
A follow-up study of 191 patients operated on with the TVT procedure between January 1998 and May 2000 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the Turku City Hospital. After a mean of 10.5 years patients were invited to a follow-up visit. Subjective outcome was evaluated with condition-specific and general quality of life and health questionnaires. Objective outcome was evaluated with gynaecological examination and a supine stress test. Objective cure was defined as a negative stress test and no need for a reoperation for SUI and subjective cure.
The basic nerve deficit of Parkinson's disease (PD) leads to lower urinary tract symptoms of frequency, urgency and urge urinary incontinence. Lower urinary tract symptoms tend to occur at more advanced stages of PD. In the over-65 year old age group, where 1% of men suffer from this disease, they are also prone to development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and consequent associated lower urinary tract dysfunction. Similarly the over 65-year age group develop spontaneous overactive bladder up to a prevalence of 30% of both men and women. The urologic disorder is exceedingly devastating in reducing the quality of life in these individuals due to the lower urinary tract symptoms and ultimate urinary incontinence in a high proportion of patients. While attempts at pharmacologic treatment are partially satisfactory many patients are intolerant of oral drugs. Botulinum-A neurotoxin (BTX-A) has been shown in pilot trials to be quite effective in reducing overactive bladder symptoms and is specifically beneficial for a wide-variety of neurogenic bladder causes of over activity . The treatment procedure of injecting the detrusor muscle of the bladder with BTX-A is quite simple, does not impose significant risks to the patient, and can be performed as an office urologic procedure. This pilot clinical trial intends to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of low-dose Botox-A injections into the bladder to improve urinary symptoms in 20 patients.
Aims: To assess pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strength in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and urgency urinary incontinence (UUI). Methods: 51 women were prospectively divided into two groups, according to the symptoms as SUI (G1 = 22) or UUI (G2 = 29). Demographic data, such as number of Pads/ 24 hours, number of micturitions/ 24 hours and nocturia, delay time of urgent void (i.e., the time period for which an urgent void could be voluntarily postponed), number of parity and vaginal deliveries were obtained using a clinical questionnaire. Objective urine loss was evaluated by 60-min Pad Test. Subjective [urine stream interruption test (UST), visual survey of perineal contraction and transvaginal digital palpation] and objective (vaginal manometry) evaluations of PFM were performed in all patients.
The investigators have performed colposacropexy in women with uterovaginal prolapse for many years with satisfactory results. This study was designed to compare whether, in the treatment of patients with uro-genital prolapse and urinary incontinence, the addition of a contemporary anti-incontinence procedure such as mini-sling is associated with a reduction of post-operative urinary incontinence (correction of pre-existent urinary incontinence and prevention of masked urinary incontinence).
This is a clinical trial to study the safety and effectiveness of Autologous Muscle Derived Cells for Urinary Sphincter Repair (AMDC-USR) for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of 12 weeks of treatment of solifenacin succinate versus placebo in participants who are incontinent after Robotic Assisted Radical Prostatectomy. This study will also assess the effect of 12 weeks of treatment with solifenacin succinate versus placebo on quality of life (QOL) as measured by questionnaires.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change from baseline between the active and sham treatment groups in the treatment of urgency (urinary) incontinence episodes (leaks).
This intervention program combines biofeedback PFME with a telephone or support group intervention to treat persistent urinary incontinence (UI). The study's primary aims are to improve continence, quality of life, and mood through enhancing adherence to PFME and self-management of incontinence symptoms. The secondary aims are to examine the physiological effects and cost effectiveness of the proposed interventions.
The purpose of this pilot clinical study is to determine if intrasphincteric autologous myoblast injections in combination with electrical stimulation are safe and effective in treating stress urinary incontinence, confirming the optimal dose and assessing tolerability of the procedure.
