Filter by:The purpose of this study is to study the treatment of urgency urinary incontinence (UUI), specifically among women 70 years and older, by comparing reduced versus standard dose of onabotulinumtoxinA (BTX; trade name BOTOX(c)) injection in the bladder.
The prevalence of urinary incontinence increases after the menopause and affects between 38 % and 55 % of women aged over 60 years. Urinary incontinence has a profound impact on quality of life. Pelvic floor muscle training is the first-line management for urinary incontinence. Electrical stimulation is considered for improving contraction of pelvic floor muscles and aid motivation and adherence to therapy and commonly used in pelvic floor muscle training in clinic therapy. However, the stability and quality of the signals collected by existing stretchable electronics (two-channel hard electrode) are too poor especially when muscle movement is involved, making them inappropriate for aureate pelvic floor muscle training. Here, we propose a physiology-based design method for the stretchable electronics and a novel airbag-type stretchable electrode array (ASEA) device for pelvic floor muscle training. In this study, the investigators hypothesis that ASEA is effective in controlling UI. A randomized, open, and controlled study will be implemented. "participants with ASEA will be included and be prescribed. Two-channel hard electrode as electrical stimulation electrode will be used as positive control.The primary efficacy end points is the reduction of symptom scoring and improving of quality-of-life assessment, the frequency of UI at 12th week assessed with bladder diaries and pad testing, and the quality-of-life assessed with incontinence impact questionnaire short form (IIQ-7) and pelvic organ prolapsed-urinary incontinence sexual questionnaire-12(PISQ-12). The adverse event and medication compliance will be investigated. The aim of this study is to explore the efficacy, safety and therapy of ASEA as electrical stimulation electrode in management of UI. This study will provide new options of electrode for the electrical stimulation in management of UI, which will help improve precision therapy of UI.
Post-Prostatectomy Incontinence (PPI) is a common complication affecting 1% to 40% of patients after surgery. When conservative treatments fail, the installation of an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) has been the treatment of choice for PPI since its introduction more than 50 years ago. Although small studies suggest inferior success rate of male slings compare to the AUS in moderate to severe male incontinence; recent studies, one prospective and one Canadian multicenter cohort study, have demonstrated adjustable transobturator male sling (ATOMS) as a safe and efficient alternative to treat PPI. Interestingly, the ATOMS does not required any operation manipulation from the user in order to void and it causes potentially less urethral erosion and less urethral atrophy than the AUS; although those findings were never compared head to head with the AUS. Therefore, we believe that a thorough prospective non-inferiority study comparing the outcomes and effectiveness of the ATOMS device versus the AUS in treating moderate to severe PPI could prove itself useful in guiding urologists and patients to choose their best treatment of male incontinence. The null hypothesis posed for the present study is that ATOMS is non inferior to AUS for the treatment of moderate to severe PPI using the non-inferiority margin of 15% to be of acceptable lower effectiveness. With regards to study methods, this will be a pilot prospective, randomized controlled trial, non-blinded with a non-inferiority design. This pilot study will take place at the CIUSSS de l'Estrie, in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, with two surgeons. All male patients with moderate to severe incontinence after their prostate surgery, who are suitable for incontinence surgery will be screened for study eligibility respecting the exclusion and inclusion criteria. After written informed consent, enrolled patients will be randomized assigned (1:1) to one of the two interventions' arms (AUS or ATOMS). Sixty patients are estimated to be randomized in the two arms the day of their surgery with a computer-based algorithm sequence. By completing this pilot prospective study, we hope to provide concrete and scientifically significant evidence on the effectiveness of ATOMS in the treatment of moderate to severe PPI comparing with the AUS. Although both treatments are commonly used today, there has been little evidence comparing both devices side by side with more severe PPI. We therefore hope to make a global impact with said project.
A second no-random open interventional pilot study sponsored by Relief srl
The purpose of this study is to assess and to compare the efficacy of a face to face versus a remote physiotherapy instruction session about pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function, including teaching women how to contract their PFM and how to perceive a correct PFM contraction. Study participants will be randomly assigned to participate in one of the three study groups: Group 1 will receive face to face instructions, Group 2 will receive real time remote instructions and Group 3 will not receive any instruction. The primary outcome measure is PFM function assessed using the modified Oxford Scale.
The PURSUIT project aims to improve access to evidence-based nonsurgical UI treatment for women Veterans in the Southeast region of the United States using the most effective remote delivery modality. Using cluster randomization, the study will compare two models at the practice level: (1) the use of a practice facilitation toolkit with a mHealth UI modality alone and (2) the practice facilitation toolkit with a mHealth UI model combined with education on clinical pathways for consultation. Patient level outcomes related to UI symptom improvement will be compared. Patient and provider perceptions of factors that could influence future remote UI treatment scalability will also be assessed. All primary care practices will receive practice facilitation with a PURSUIT toolkit that includes (1) 1-2 visits with a practice facilitator; (2) mobile-health or mHealth application training (MAT); 3) online resource hub; and (4) health information technology (HIT) assistance. PURSUIT's future goal is to disseminate the most effective modality for delivering nonsurgical UI treatment for women Veterans nationally within the VHA.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of laser acupuncture on monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis in adolescent females.
A prospective, two-arm randomized clinical trial utilizing a multidimensional intervention to reduce falls in older women with Urinary Urge Incontinence. The intervention consist of general balance and strength training, bladder training and urge suppression, and home hazard assessments. The control group will receive informational booklets on fall prevention and behavioral treatment for urinary urge incontinence.
The aim of this randomized controlled study was to compare the EMG biofeedback method with pelvic floor muscle (PTC) exercises and Sham EMG biofeedback group in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) on pelvic floor muscle strength, trunk endurance, subjective perception of improvement, severity of complaints, pad test and quality of life. to determine its effectiveness.
The TRIUMPH study is a randomized, double-blinded, 3-arm, parallel-group trial designed to compare the effects of anticholinergic bladder therapy versus a) beta-3-adrenergic agonist bladder therapy and b) no bladder pharmacotherapy on cognitive, urinary, and other aging-related functional outcomes in ambulatory older women with urgency-predominant urinary incontinence and either normal or mildly impaired cognitive function at baseline.
