Filter by:The prospective and four-arm randomized controlled study was conducted on n = 136 (34 = control, 34 = kegel, 34 = core, 34 = kegel+ core group) menopausal women at Trakya University Health Research and Application Center Urology Polyclinic between Oct 2023 and June 2024. In the first interview, the researcher will apply an information form to all four groups, asking about personal information, habits, bladder irritants and fluid intake-related features, obstetric, gynecological and systemic disease-related features, and stress urinary incontinence-related features. This form will only be filled at the beginning. In addition, the "Pelvic Floor Distress Scale (PFDI)" and "Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ)" will be applied and will be repeated by the executive researcher at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd controls. It will be terminated at the 3rd follow-up. Descriptive statistics, Pearson, Spearman's correlation, and regression analyzes will be used in the analysis of research data.
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a neuromuscular disease characterized by multisystem manifestations. DM1 can affect the urinary system through the impact of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM). Urinary incontinence can occur in this situation and is often offset with compensatory measures without restoring the PFM function (e.g. sanitary pads). PFM training have already been shown to be effective in reducing or even eliminating urinary incontinence in the general population. However, no study has been the subject of this modality in people with DM1. Having recently shown that it is possible to gain strength with DM1, a strengthening protocol targeting PFM could prove effective in treating urinary incontinence. The objectives of this study are i) to assess the feasibility and acceptability of PFM training and ii) to investigate the effects of PFM training in women with DM1 with adult phenotype. A quasi-experimental study will be conducted with 12 women having a confirmed diagnosis of DM1 with urinary incontinence. Participants will follow a 12-week PFM training program, comprising weekly sessions with an experienced physiotherapist as well as a home exercise program. Outcomes measures will be assessed at baseline and at post-treatment and will include: feasibility and acceptability variables, frequency of urinary incontinence, urogynecological symptoms and their impact on quality of life, morphometry and function of PFM, and the perceived improvement following the treatments. This study has the potential to improve the management of urinary incontinence and support the implementation of pelvic floor rehabilitation services in this population.
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a surgical procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). HoLEP involves the removal of obstructive prostatic tissue via an endoscopic approach to relieve bothersome urinary symptoms. HoLEP is recommended by the American Urological Association (AUA) as a size-independent treatment for BPH. While the surgery is highly durable and versatile, post-operative stress urinary incontinence (SUI) has been reported following HoLEP, up to 44%. Pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) is a therapeutic strategy with low cost and risk to patients used to treat SUI following prostate surgery. However, data on the efficacy of conducting PFPT prior to HoLEP in minimizing or eliminating post-operative urinary incontinence is limited. The investigators will recruit patients who have already agreed to undergo HoLEP for this study. Participants will be randomized into two groups: The intervention group will begin standardized PFPT before surgery and will continue PFPT after surgery, and the second group will begin PFPT after surgery only (current practice). Both groups will continue with PFPT following surgery until urinary continence is regained. Investigators will compare the time required to regain urinary continence and patient-reported outcomes between the two groups.
Urinary incontinence is a very common health problem that reduces the quality of life mostly in women. Behavioral therapy (lifestyle changes, abdominal-Kegel exercises) is recommended as the first choice in the treatment of the disease. It is known that surgical and medical treatment cannot give a definite result. The application of behavioral therapy with telemedicine has advantages such as reducing the cost and increasing the treatment rate. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effect of telemedicine practices on compliance with multi-module behavioral therapy in women with stress urinary incontinence.
The prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) in the female Greek population is 1 to 3 women (27%).Globally, the development of tele-rehabilitation programs through mobile application (mobile apps) has been a breakthrough for UI treatment. More specifically, the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) exercise programs through mobile apps, provide optimal health care services by offering to the patients a therapy program in the convenient environment of their choice (e.g their homes), with safety and less expense. Furthermore, it is given the opportunity to patients with mobility problems or with lack of transport or to them who live in remote areas, to treat their incontinence. However, the majority of the existence mobile apps, work as simple verbal instructions and they do not being tailored in patients' individual needs, which is necessary for the successful implementation of the PFM exercise programs. Additionally, the PFM training is effective for UI treatment, when occurs intensively (daily) with supervision for at least 3 months by a physiotherapist. However, the adherence to a such intensive treatment program is very often compromised, because of many reasons (e.g lack of interest etc). Therefore the main purpose of the current study is, to investigate the effectiveness of a tele-rehabilitation program, through a novel, innovative mobile app (customized in patients needs), in cooperation with a PFM superficial sensor. The mobile app will offer an interactive environment and the opportunity of a simultaneous supervision by a physiotherapist during the treatment, which might provide sufficient motivation to the patient to adhere with the intensive PFM exercise program. A secondary objective of the study is, to investigate the degree of adherence to PFM exercises and the degree of supervision, which is needed in the tele-rehabilitation program. Both the mobile app and the PFM superficial sensor, will be created for the needs of the present study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the efficacy of electromagnetic stimulation treatment of the pelvic floor muscles in adult females with stress urinary incontinence.
In this prospective, post-market, multi-site, open-label, crossover trial, women with urinary incontinence requiring the use of diapers (changes complets (French term)) at night will be 1:1 randomized to a treatment sequence using two devices (PureWick™ System and Hollister® Female Urinary Pouch External Collection Device) and followed for approximately 10 weeks through 2 treatment phases. The primary objectives are to evaluate safety (skin injury) and efficacy (capture rate). Safety will be assessed using the Draize Scale and efficacy will be measured based on daily urine capture rate.
The first phase was designed in a methodological pattern in order to develop, usability, and performance of mobile application (mobileapp) called "My Fight with Incontinence". Aim of the second phase of the study was to evaluate the effect of mobileapp developed according to the health belief model on incontinence symptoms, Kegel exercise compliance, health belief and quality of life towards UI and kegel exercises in women with UI. The study was planned in a single-center, single-blind, one-to-one, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial design with a 3-month follow-up period. The research will be carried out in the Urology service and polyclinics of Eskişehir Osmangazi University Health Practice and Research Hospital. The study population of the research consists of 203 female patients over the age of 18 who were followed up with the diagnosis of Stress, Urge, and Mixed Type UI. Sample selection will not be made in the first stage of the study, and mobileapp will be tested on people aged 18 and over who can be reached, working, studying, or receiving treatment at Eskişehir Osmangazi University Training, Application and Research Hospital and Eskişehir Osmangazi University. The number of samples required for the study was determined by the power analysis made in the GPower 3.1 package program. Assuming that there may be losses during the follow-up and considering the possibility of nonparametric testing, a total of 96 individuals, 48 in each group, with an increase of 20%, will form the research group. In the second stage of the study, "Incontinence Severity Index Questionnaire", "International Urinary Incontinence Inquiry Form-Short Form (ICIQ-SF)", "Kegel Exercise Compliance Follow-up Form", "Health Belief Scale for Urinary Incontinence and Kegel Exercise", "Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7 (IIQ-7)" will be used. Control group will be given a training booklet called "My Fight with Incontinence", which includes healthy lifestyle behaviors, bladder training, and Kegel exercises related to UI after the pre-tests are applied. After pre-tests are applied to the study group, "My Fight with Incontinence" mobileapp will be installed on their mobile phones by researcher. Reminders will be sent to the patients on a regular basis via the mobileapp. Participants in both the control and study groups will be provided with the link of the survey form created via google forms in the 6th and 12th weeks by sending an SMS.
The patients diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence and included in the study. According to randomisation plan one group will be instructed by a physiotherapist to perform pelvic flor exercises and the other group will be instructed by the same physiotherapist to perform dynamic lumbopelvic stabilisation exercises.Throughout the study, the women will be followed up to ensure the exercises are performed. The exercises will be applied for approximately 30 mins once a day for a period of 10 weeks.
In this prospective, comparative non-randomized multiple teaching hospitals study, the investigators try to determine the relationship of total hysterectomy and Taiwanese female pelvic floor and sexual function from the view of epidemiology and clinical survey. This is an important issue that related to female autonomy, health care resources and even national health policy. The study results will help to understand whether there is unnecessary part in the current hysterectomy procedures and its potential health hazard.
