Filter by:There are no validated scores in Danish revealing symptoms related to anal incontinence (AI). The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Bowel (ICIQ-B) is an internationally recommended questionnaire that contains 21 items of which 17 are scored in three subscales: Bowel pattern; Bowel control and Quality of life. The aim was to translate and validate the ICIQ-B into Danish. The translation will be performed by a multidisciplinary team and the investigators will perform cognitive interviews and online testing of the questionnaire. The study only involves testing of a questionnaire and will not interfere with patient treatment.
MS (Multiple Sclerosis) is the most common neurological disease involving disabilities in young adults, with bowel symptoms, in particular constipation and fecal incontinence. The main objectives of the study are to assess the prevalence, characteristics, severity and impact on the Quality of Life of intestinal disorders in this population, to correlate the severity and characteristics of constipation and fecal incontinence with Intestinal Transit Time and the time dedicated to the evacuation, and how these items change in relation to the use of transanal irrigation (TAI). Another objective is to identify the composition of the intestinal microbiota in MS patients in relation to the type of bowel characteristics, comparing it with microbiota profile of the healthy population of the same region of origin, Emilia-Romagna, Italy.
The main objective is to compare the prevalence of anal incontinence (AI) before and after bariatric surgery in obese patients. Inclusion: Patients who are scheduled for a bariatric surgical procedure after a multidisciplinary evaluation for about 1 year (following french national recommendations). Primary objective: After inclusion, all patients will fill in a specific self-questionnaire evaluating AI (PFDI-20 score) before surgery and at 6 months after surgery. Investigators will evaluate the prevalence of anal incontinence before and at 6months after surgery using this PFDI- 20 score. In those patients with preoperative anal incontinence (only in patients with 3 positive answers to question n°9,10, and 11 of PFDI-20 score self-questionnaire), a pelvic MRI will be performed before and at 6 months after surgery. Consequently, no further imaging exam will be performed in patients without preoperative anal incontinence (less than 3 positive answers to question n°9,10, and 11), Secondary objectives: - to evaluate the AI severity variation before and at 6 months after bariatric surgery regarding the percentage of postoperative weight loss. - to compare the quality of life (PFIQ-7 score) related to AI day before and at 6 months after bariatric surgery.
Evaluation of the impact of the delivery in the system of suspension and sustentation of pelvic floor, by 3D ultrasound and quality of life questionnaires.nt
Anal incontinence is a significant public health problem estimated to affect 7-15% of women in the United States. Traditional rehabilitation strategies include biofeedback and Kegel exercises for pelvic floor muscle strengthening, but this strategy does not incorporate strategies for resistance training that are known to cause muscle strengthening and hypertrophy in other muscles in the body. This study aims to investigate whether a novel pelvic floor resistance exercise program will increase pelvic floor muscle strength and improve anal incontinence and has the potential to impact rehabilitation strategies for the millions of women affected anal incontinence.
A randomized study to evaluate the safety and effects of transanal submucosal polyacrylamide hydrogel injection therapy for anal incontinence.
The objectives of this work are: 1/to estimate the frequency of a positive glucose breath test in favour of a small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in a population of patients consulting for gaz incontinence by comparison to a population of control subjects; 2/to estimate versus a conventional treatment the efficiency of an antibiotic treatment; in case of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth diagnosed by the glucose breath test, to improve gaz incontinence
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of Biodesign™ Surgisis® Tissue Graft to reinforce an overlapping sphincter repair versus the standard overlapping sphincter repair in controlling episodes of incontinence in patients who have fecal incontinence and a defect in the anal sphincter.
Objective: Compare pelvic floor disorders (urinary incontinence, anal incontinence, genital prolapse, perineal pain, sexual troubles) 12 month after a first delivery between a group of women with prenatal pelvic floor exercises and a control group. Hypothesis: Prenatal pelvic floor exercises reduce postpartum urinary incontinence.
