Filter by:The primary objective of this study is the psychometric validation of two questionnaires (PISQ-R and a new questionnaire on sexuality) as compared to a non specific questionnaire on female sexual function (FSFI).
This study is a single blind randomized clinical trial to compare the efficacy of a behavioral intervention program versus vaginal cones on Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI).
The goal of this project is to evaluate the applicability of non-invasive optical imaging for the measurement of brain function during investigation of the lower urinary tract.
This study is a prospective, single arm, non-randomized, multi-center clinical study that will be conducted in Europe. It is designed to assess efficacy and safety of the Virtue® Male Sling in post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence.
Urinary incontinence (UI) affects up to 50% of adult populations and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the most common form of UI, accounting for approximately 60% of patients. Women are affected by SUI much more often than men. Urine leakage in women with SUI occurs on exertion or during tasks that increase pressure on the bladder such as sneezing or coughing. SUI has been shown to be a barrier to physical activity in women, and as such can contribute to the development of diseases and disorders associated with inactivity. SUI appears to have many contributing factors such as structural damage (eg. tears in the pelvic organ supporting tissues), muscle weakness related to nerve injury or aging, or thinning of the urethral wall and/or its surrounding muscular sphincters. Currently the most common treatments for SUI are conservative therapy, which normally takes the form of exercise therapy provided by specialized nurses or physical therapists, and surgery, which is aimed at enhancing urethral support. Exercise therapy is effective, resulting in complete cure in 50% of cases, and surgery is effective for approximately 80% of patients but carries risks such as the development of urinary retention. It is currently not clear which treatment approach is better for which women. Through the proposed research, the investigators aim to determine how to predict which patients will improve or be cured with exercise therapy such that surgery can be avoided. Specifically the investigators will determine what is different between patients in whom exercise therapy succeeds and in whom exercise therapy fails. The investigators will also determine whether physiotherapist-supervised training of the pelvic floor muscles before surgery improves surgical outcomes. The proposed research will enable us to better understand the female continence system and how it responds to physiotherapeutic intervention. It will help us to develop improved assessment procedures that can streamline patient management.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of OnabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX®) for the treatment of urinary incontinence due to NDO in non-catheterizing patients with MS.
More than one in three US women suffers from the distressing, embarrassing, and often unreported problem of urinary incontinence (UI). UI severity increases with age and the financial cost exceeds $19 billion per year . The Adult Conservative Management Committee of the 2008 International Consultation on Incontinence concluded that pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) should be offered as first line therapy to all women with stress, urge, or mixed UI; and that bladder training (BT) may be preferred to drug therapy. Conservative strategies are low risk and differ from other forms of UI management in that they do not prejudice future treatments. They also may decrease symptoms of urgency and frequency that do not entail UI, but greatly reduce the quality of life for nearly 1 in 11 US women.
The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in post-operative voiding function between subjects receiving local anesthetic and those receiving placebo at the time of mid-urethral sling placement. The secondary objective is to evaluate pain after the procedure in the two groups.
To investigate the effect of pelvic floor muscle training taught in a general exercise class during pregnancy to prevent urinary incontinence in nulliparous continent pregnant women.
The investigators hypothesize that an innovative test device simulating transvaginal tape support will increase the performance and reproducibility of the diagnosis of urethral hypermobility before surgery for urinary incontinence. The main objective of this study is to compare two prognostic tests in their ability to predict the success (or failure) of the implementation of a suburethral TVT (tension-free vaginal tape) or TOT (trans-obturator tape) treatment for stress urinary incontinence in women. The Q-tip test (test mentioned in the French and international recommendations) is compared to test a new test (clip strip).
