Filter by:Nocturnal enuresis (NE) is the involuntary loss of urine that occurs only at night in children aged 5 years or more. NE is a common problem, affecting about 10% of school children. The prevalence declines with each year of maturity but for some it persists in to adolescents and early adulthood. It can lead to bad self-confidence and low self-esteem, which can have psychosocial consequences. NE is a multifactorial condition. Three central factors have been identified: A) Many bedwetting children produce large amounts of urine at night due to a deficiency of the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin. B) Other children have a lack of inhibition of bladder emptying during sleep. C) Almost all children are deep sleepers with high arousal thresholds. They simply don't wake up when the bladder is full or when it contracts. There are two well established and evidence based treatments today: the bed-wetting alarm and the pharmacologic treatment desmopressin. The alarm emits a sound when the child wets the bed, which conditions the child to wake up or inhibit bladder emptying. This method is curative for about half of the patients who try this, but relapse occurs. Desmopressin is a synthetic analog of arginine vasopressin and works by decreasing the urine volume at night. About half of the patients become dry with this medication but only as long as they take the medicine. To day, at least 25% of all children with NE do not respond to any of the above treatment. Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is a common orthodontic technique to treat patients with a narrow upper jaw. The brace is fitted by an orthodontist, and has a jack-screw, which is activated twice every day for 10-14 days. The procedure is neither painful nor harmful and is not very visible at all. There are a few reports about children who have become dry after RME treatment. None of them have been randomised or placebo controlled but indicates that quite a few children do become dry after this treatment. A recently carried out study in Sweden show that half of the children became dry after RME treatment. These children were all classed as therapy resistant and had already tried the alarm and medication without success. The reports are intriguing, but invite the question why a brace would help cure NE? It is likely that sleep and respiration is involved. This study will investigate these children's sleep during the treatment. The trial is a randomised, placebo controlled trial.
This study will evaluate real world pattern of use of BOTOX® in actual clinical practice in patients with idiopathic overactive bladder (iOAB) with urinary incontinence whose symptoms have not been adequately managed by oral anticholinergic therapy.
This study will evaluate the safety of the pessary device by objective evaluation of vaginal wall integrity and subjective assessment of comfort during in-use conditions.
Homeopathic Medicine Causticum 200c will be prescribed in cases of Primary Enuresis on the basis of available symptoms for a period of one year and the results will be evaluated at the end of the given period and efficacy of the drug will be assessed.
1. Validation of the Korean version of the ICIQ-UI SF for pregnant and postpartum women 2. Evaluation the effect of urinary incontinence in pregnant and postpartum women.
Continent women have an intact internal urethral sphincter that extends from the bladder neck down to the perineal membrane. The internal urethral sphincter is a strong collagen muscle tissue cylinder lined by urothelium. On ultrasound scanning tissue echo will be detected torn internal urethral sphincter will not stand sudden rise of abdominal pressure. Three dimensional ultrasound assessment of the internal urethral sphincter is very sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence.
The purpose of this study is to get the effect of IncontiLaseTM procedure; and its impact on urinary symptoms and female sexual function.
Overactive bladder (OAB) is an enigmatic condition that is treated symptomatically with anticholinergic drugs (gold standard 2013). In a clinical pilot study was found to be a trend for a higher reduction of the micturition frequency in the Bryophyllum pinnatum group - treated with chewing tablets containing 50% of dried BP leaf press juice - than in the placebo group (n=20, p=0.064) Hypothesis: To test the superior effectivity of Bryophyllum versus Placebo in the treatment of OAB with the needed number (Purpose 1) and to assess in an experimental arm the side effects of BP in comparison to the standard drug (Vesicare) in a clincial trial (Purpose 2).
The aim of this study is to estimate the amount of extra urine produced by natural diuresis during 20-minute pad test, and assess the effect of diuresis on the accuracy of using 20-minute pad test to estimate the severity of SUI. Besides, the above results may be used for further refinement of the amount of water infusion used for the 20-minute pad test.
More than 11 million women in the United States suffer from stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the involuntary leakage of urine during everyday activities that put temporary stress on the abdomen and bladder, such as laughing, coughing, and walking. For women with SUI, this pressure often causes urine to leak involuntarily. SUI affects women of all ages including young mothers, pre-menopausal women, and seniors, and can result in significant emotional distress. Current solutions for SUI include disposable pads, behavioral treatment (pelvic floor physical therapy) and surgical intervention. Patients with SUI who failed conservative treatment and wish to be further treated by a surgery may require further work-up by urodynamic study in which abdominal leak point pressures (ALPP) defined and reflect the severity of SUI. There is continuous need to develop less invasive treatments for SUI that could minimize the use of pads, could be an alternative to painful, costly surgical procedure. The Trendlines Group lab solution is a non-surgical alternative in the treatment of SUI. The concept of the future treatment solution is based on simple physics: injecting a small amount of air into the urinary bladder, which eliminates or greatly reduces involuntary urinary leakage. The air bubble acts as a "shock absorber" to reduce the temporary pressure increase in the bladder that causes urinary leakage. The concept for the new treatment has been tested in a lab environment using lab jig tests and pig urinary system (bladder and urethra). The lab tests showed significant improvement in the bladder pressure when the treatment was implemented by suspending the stress pressure to a level that will not cause urine leakage.
