View clinical trials related to Intrinsic Sphincter Deficiency.
Filter by:While recommended pre-anesthesia for polyacylamide hydrogel (PAHG, Bulkamid) injections for stress urinary incontinence and intrinsic sphincter deficiency can include intraurethral anesthetic gel with or without periurethral block, there is no existing literature to guide choice of anesthesia. This is a single-blinded randomized control trial to evaluate post-procedure pain with choice of anesthesia before PAHG injection.
The pathophysiological mechanism of stress urinary incontinence divides stress urinary incontinence into urethral hypermobility and intrinsic sphincter deficiency. Pelvic floor muscle exercise as first line therapy has been found to be extremely helpful in patients with mild to moderate forms of incontinence. Biofeedback uses an instrument to record the biological signals ( electrical activity) during a voluntary pelvic floor muscle contraction and present this information back to the woman in auditory or visual form. Electrical stimulation can aid in detecting pelvic floor muscles, and also promote the contraction of the pelvic floor muscles and strengthen the muscles. This study assumes that urinary incontinence women with different pathophysiological classifications receiving a pelvic floor muscle training with surface electromyographic biofeedback and electrical stimulation show differences in the strength of pelvic muscle and degree of symptoms improvement.
A single-center retrospective chart review of AdVance and AdVance XP subject data, combined with prospective follow-up of the same subjects to confirm continence, adverse event, and quality of life status. This study includes patients previously implanted with an AdVance or AdVance XP male sling.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of the Needle Guide as an assist in properly guiding an injection needle into the appropriate tissue plane during an injectable bulking agent procedure in women using a FDA approved injectable bulking agent. The injectable bulking agent will be Durasphere EXP.
The pre-pubic approach of the tension free vaginal sling placement is a new approach in the treatment of SUI. The retropubic approach of the tension free vaginal sling is the standard method of device delivery; in addition a suprapubic and a transobturator approach are alternative methods of delivery. All of these delivery approach systems are intended to place the mesh "tension free" in the mid-urethra. There are currently no studies that investigate the pre-pubic delivery approach in the United States. However, the largest series of cases in Europe using the pre-pubic system was done by Ulmsten (published in the European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Biology) 107 (2003) 205-207, titled " Pre-Pubic tension free vaginal tape application: an alternative to classic tension free vaginal tape application in selected patients with SUI." The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of using a pre-pubic approach to the placement of a mid-urethral vaginal mesh. - Demonstrate the mesh can be properly placed in the mid-urethra using a pre-pubic approach; - Assess the performance of the delivery device by measuring the ease of use, technical complexity, and instrument difficulties
