Filter by:The investigators aimed to evaluate outcomes of transobturator urethral sling placement using autologous rectus fascia for female stress urinary incontinence at perioperatively and at 2-year follow-up.
The objective of the study is to compare the effects of visceral manual therapy associated with pelvic floor muscle training on urinary incontinence symptoms, vaginal resting pressure and maximum voluntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles in women. This is a randomized controlled trial with double blinding. Participants will be randomized into two groups: control and experimental. Both groups will undergo a pelvic floor muscle training program twice weekly for 5 consecutive weeks. Participants in the intervention group will also receive, once a week, a visceral manual therapy protocol and control group participants will receive a manual sham therapy protocol.
Evaluation of the repetitive pulse magnetic stimulation (rPMS) for the treatment of urinary incontinence and a female sexual satisfaction.
The aim of this study is to investigate which verbal instruction will lead to the most efficient contraction of pelvic floor muscles (PFM) in patients with urinary incontinence. and to examine whether correct PFM contraction can be taught by transabdominal ultrasound, which is used as biofeedback. Pelvic floor muscle contraction will be evaluated via transabdominal ultrasound.
Menopause is a woman's hormonal status one year after her ovulatory failure, when the decrease of circulating estrogen levels leads to a group of symptoms named Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), such as: vaginal dryness, dyspareunia, dysuria, epithelial fragility with recurrent bleedings, loss of genital elasticity and pH alterations causing recurrent infections. The CO2 laser is a fractional ablative source of light, capable of inducing neocollagenesis within the skin, reversing atrophies, increasing blood supply and reorganizing the architectural structure of the treated epithelium. Recent studies in the laser field show great improvement of the SGM, with satisfying results in female's sexual disfunction. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of studies that show, at the same time, the improvement in both patient's subjective reports and objective measurements, such as cytology, histology and immunohistochemistry. This study aims to thoroughly analyze the benefits of the CO2 laser in the treatment of the GMS, comparing the improvement found in questionnaires to the results of cytology, histology and immunohistochemistry for collagen I and III from vaginal biopsies before and after the laser treatment. Therefore, fourteen women after menopause complaining of symptoms of the GSM were selected from the ambulatory of the Hospital Universitário Antônio Pedro. The patients will be submitted to three CO2 intravaginal laser (Femilift®), with a 30-days interval between them. Biopsies of the vaginal wall will be taken one month before the start and one month after the end of the laser sessions, and material will be sent to histology, cytology and immunohistochemistry analysis. Results obtained will be compared to the patients' reports, in order to evaluate subjective and objective improvement due to the treatment.
This is an open label, prospective study aimed to evaluate safety and efficacy of the Silk'n Tightra device for improvement of sexual functioning, vulvovaginal appearance and reduction of SUI.
Nocturia is prevalent in older adults and it vastly reduces quality of life. Yet its treatment remains inadequate because its causes are not well understood, especially nocturnal polyuria or increased urine production at night. This study, which builds on the investigators' ongoing research, would be the first of its kind to explore the role of sleep in nighttime urine production. The findings will contribute important knowledge to guide development of better targeted and more effective therapy for this prevalent and morbid condition.
The effect of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training with Biofeedback and Extracorporeal Magnetic Innervation on the Urinary Symptoms, Sexual Function and Quality of Life of Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence
To document usage of the Urovac device among 30 initial users of the device in an acute rehabilitation facility, with analysis of whether and how patients benefitted, challenges encountered, and how benefits and challenges varied by patient type.
The overall objective of this project is to reduce the risk of falls in elderly community dwelling women over 60 years of age with urgency urinary incontinence (UUI). In this pilot study, the investigators plan to develop, validate and test a home based integrated exercise and urge suppression intervention (bladder training) that targets functional mobility, reduces anxiety urgency and physical barriers and is implemented in partnership with all stakeholders. Key eligibility criteria: women over 60 years of age, with moderate to severe UUI, and low physical activity.
