Filter by:Objective: To compare TVT with COLPOSUSPENSION (CS) as primary treatment for stress incontinence (SUI). Design: Randomised, open, comparative trial 3-years follow-up. Participants: 49 consecutive 35 to 70 years old women with urodynamic SUI. Setting: Urology department of a district general hospital at Leganés (Madrid), Spain. Intervention: 24 patients randomised to TVT and 25 to CS.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the importance of functional assessment of the pelvic floor (AFA) in older women, as prognostic factor for Urinary Incontinence (UI).
The primary goal of this project is to determine the efficacy of an antenatal Bladder Health class to prevent UI in a diverse sample of African American, Caucasian, and Hispanic childbearing women. The determination of efficacy will be made at 12-months post index birth, a time point that is a traditional benchmark of recovery from childbirth, using UI incidence/severity as the primary outcome.
The prevalence of urinary stress incontinence in middle age women is rated at about 30%. To date, there is an increasing use in the clinical practice of new techniques for the treatment of this condition and several surgical devices, characterized by minimally invasive approach, are commercialized. Recently, single-incision devices have been proposed. One of the most relevant potential advantages of these devices is the possibility of performing their positioning under local anesthesia, thus, in ambulatory regimen. The employment of these devices is particularly useful in two subgroups of patients with urinary incontinence, i.e. women with genuine stress incontinence not associated to pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and women whose stress incontinence raised after surgical correction of (severe) POP. Poor data coming from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are available regarding single-incision devices for the treatment of stress incontinence, and there are no conclusions in terms of their feasibility, efficacy and safety. Finally, to our knowledge no randomized controlled trial is actually available in literature comparing different single-incision devices.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of three doses of oxybutynin for the treatment of urge urinary incontinence.
The purpose of this study was to test the suitability of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging for the pelvic floor floor, bladder neck and urethra in healthy volunteers, in stress incontinent patient and in women with genital prolapse.
There are many ways to perform a suprapubic approach pubovaginal sling. Some surgeons inject local pain medical into the retropubic space before placing the sling, others do not. This study is to determine if injection of local pain medication into the retropubic space before placing a mid-urethral sling for urinary stress incontinence results in lower postoperative pain scores, lower use of postoperative narcotic medication and lower rates of urinary retention.
Urinary incontinence is any involuntary loss of urine. During gestation, hormonal and mechanical factors favor the incidence of urinary loss that may persist after delivery in up to 50% of women. Gestational urine loss can be prevented or treated during pregnancy with physical therapy. Pregnancy and delivery have been widely deemed important risk factors that should be assessed while developing preventive and curative treatments for both female urinary incontinence and pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. Pelvic floor muscle exercises, led by skilled physical therapists, can prevent, reduce, or even cure involuntary urine loss as well as pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. Within this framework, developing a low-cost, easy-to-perform method for the treatment of urinary incontinence and pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, with a preventive or curative approach, is considered necessary. The overall objective of this study is to assess the effects of pelvic floor exercises during pregnancy on pelvic floor muscles and urinary continence. Secondary aims include determining whether exercises change pelvic floor muscle function; if changing pelvic floor muscle function reduces the occurrence of urinary incontinence; developing and applying a manual guide; and determining whether the physical therapy guide is well accepted, easily understandable and reproducible.
This project will be a randomized, double blinded, placebo controlled clinical trial. The aim of the trial is to determine whether or not post-operative prophylaxis with macrobid will decrease the incidence of postoperative urinary tract infection in women receiving sub-urethral slings for the treatment of urinary incontinence.
This is a observational study in patients treated with fesoterodine (Toviaz), who have failed on previous treatment for overactive bladder. It will collect epidemiological data and investigate the efficacy and tolerability of fesoterodine.
