Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to learn about quality of life, stress and caregiver burden in patients with stroke and their caregivers. The main question is: • to discover the factors associated with quality of life and stress in patient-caregiver dyads. Participants will be asked to fill out questionnaires and agree to provide a hair sample (in order to measure stress hormones in hair) and consent to use of their routine clinical and laboratory data. Researchers will compare a group of participants without stroke to establish a comparable baseline.
Given the structural relationship of the CORE as a whole, in this study we propose an intervention based on the global motor control of all the structures that make up the CORE to assess its effectiveness on urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction and balance, as well as its relationship with respiratory function. According to our hypothesis, a global intervention could also be taken into account during conventional treatment in the future, helping to prevent genitourinary dysfunctions derived from alterations in motor control.
Surgical removal of the prostate (radical prostatectomy) is the most common therapy in prostate cancer patients. However, urinary incontinence often occurs as a side effect. Although this can recede after a few weeks or months, 12 months after prostatectomy 17 - 34 % of the patients are still incontinent. An effective measure to reduce incontinence is pelvic floor muscle or sphincter training. Various methods exist for this, from pelvic floor gymnastics to training with biofeedback devices and electrical stimulation methods. Kieser Training, a Germany-wide provider of health-oriented resistance training, has a training device for pelvic floor muscle training. It is a biofeedback device that can be used in public training rooms and does not have to be inserted or glued intimately as with comparable methods. The standardized training program and concept, which allows non-invasive training in public space, has not been evaluated yet. The aim of the RECON study is to investigate whether Kieser resistance training with integrated Kieser pelvic floor muscle training is as effective as (non-inferior to) Kieser resistance training plus conventional pelvic floor muscle exercise to reduce urinary incontinence in prostate cancer patients after radical prostatectomy. The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients with urinary incontinence at the end of a 12-week training phase (using the 24h pad test). The secondary endpoints are changes in urinary leakage, other incontinence symptoms, incontinence-related quality of life, body composition and changes in strength and overall quality of life. The design is a two-arm randomized controlled trial with 180 prostate cancer patients. After the initial examination patients will be randomized to one of two groups. Patients in both groups will train for about 60 minutes twice a week for twelve weeks and additionally perform daily tension exercises at home. Patients in group A will perform the resistance training unit with the pelvic floor biofeedback device A5 from the Kieser Training AG and patients of group B will perform the resistance training unit without the pelvic floor biofeedback device A5 and undergo conventional pelvic floor muscle training with a physiotherapist once a week before the resistance training unit starts. The Recon study will be conducted at the Kieser Training Studio in Offenbach, as a cooperation project of the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT), Heidelberg University Hospital and the Kieser Training AG with the Kieser Training franchisee (studio owner) as PhD student at the NCT. The Kieser Training AG is not a sponsor and the study is neither financed nor sponsored.
A randomized controlled trial was made to determine the effectiveness of prenatal pilates-supported childbirth preparation training on birth outcomes, incontinence during pregnancy, and the postpartum period.
Children in primary school often suffer from lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), which may negatively impact their overall well-being. Co-occurring neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) can adversely affect children as well and can cause restrictions in their daily life, especially in their school-environment. The goal of this observational study is to identify the prevalence of LUTS in Flemish primary school children.The main questions it aims to answer are: - How prevalent are LUTS in regular primary education? - Is there a relation with well-being in school environment? - Is there an influence of co-occuring NDDs? Children, parents and teachers will be asked to fill in questionnaires related to this research question.

A prospective, multicenter, single-arm study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the eCoin® implanted tibial nerve stimulator in subjects with urgency urinary incontinence (UUI).
The aims of this project are; 1) To examine the efficacy of ultrasound-guided pelvic floor muscle training compared to standard care on urinary incontinence in patients undergoing robot assisted radical prostatectomy and 2) To compare physical function, incontinence, and QoL in two groups of patients with low or high function of the pelvic floor muscles respectively before the surgery. This study consists of two parts. The first part is a randomized controlled trial where 44 patients with weak pelvic floor muscle function are randomized to either treatment as usual (control group 1) or ultrasound-guided pelvic floor muscle training (Intervention group). In the second part the patients in control group 1 will be compared with 22 patients with normal/strong pelvic floor muscle function (control group 2). Patients not able to perform the pelvic floor muscle test consisting of 8 repetitions of 4-seconds pelvic floor muscle contraction and 1 repetition of 15-seconds pelvic floor muscle contraction will be randomized to either intervention group or control group 1. Patients able to perform the pelvic floor muscle test will be included in control group 2.
There is a gap between research and clinical practice, leading to variability in decision-making. Clinical audits are an effective strategy for improving implementation of best practices. Quasi-experimental, multicentre, before and after. Primary care, hospital units and nursing homes, and the patients attended at both. Implementation of evidence-based recommendations by application of a continuous quality improvement cycle model (process of improvement by reference to a prior baseline clinical audit. Data will be collected at baseline and, during the first year of follow up, at months (3, 6, 12)
The aim of this study to evaluate the relationship of neuropathic pain with urinary and bowel incontinence, functional disability and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis.
