Filter by:This is a placebo controlled randomized controlled trial of perioperative use of tamsulosin to prevent postoperative urinary retention in female pelvic reconstructive surgery.
The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of medium frequency electrotherapy (interferential currents) treatment for overactive bladder (OAB), lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and pelvic pain
This study evaluates the reproductibility (quantitative and qualitative) of cystometry in mutiple sclerosis patients.
Post operative acute urinary retension or voiding dysfunction are complications after inguinal hernia repair and they cause a great deal of discomfort and stress to patients. Furthermore, they can also increase hospital costs by increasing hospital stay, and by growing the need for outpatient appointments after an elective surgical procedure. Some studies recommend prophylactic alpha blockers to minimizing these adverse effects. Investigators aimed to determine the changes of uroflowmetric values for male patients following elective inguinal hernia repair.
This work is intended to assess the effect of repetitive magnetic stimulation on the sacral roots versus repetitive magnetic stimulation on motor cortex in multiple sclerosis patients with the lower urinary tract dysfunction.
Nowadays there is a growing interest towards non-invasive assessment of urinary dysfunctions in clinical practice. The tendency to use uroflowmetry as a first-line screening tool is based on the inexpensiveness, time efficiency, comfort of the patient, etc. However, it is stated that uroflowmetry as a stand-alone study lacks the potential to make an accurate diagnosis. In regard to this, the International Continence Society indicated that the addition of pelvic floor electromyography might increase the accuracy of this assessment. Despite this recommendation, uroflowmetry in combination with electromyography has not been conducted in a healthy population. The initial objective of this study was to examine whether adding electromyography to standard uroflowmetry in a healthy paediatric population would change the representation of parameters, especially of voiding patterns. In addition, the influence of several factors on uroflow parameters was analysed to complement current literature.
The objective of the study is to explore and understand how urodynamic parameters are affected when emptying the bladder with an intermittent catheter.
Urodynamics is a comprehensive study of the lower urinary tract. Although the information obtained from urodynamics answers several questions and assists in guiding therapies for patients, the testing environments is unnatural and may be distressing for patients. This may impact the results of the study, as it is not uncommon for patients to be unable to void for the test due to their distress. Often to alleviate the distress, music or soothing noises are used in the background. The study aims to identify simple environmental factors which may improve patient experience with urodynamic testing. The population will include patients with existing appointments for urodynamics testing at the Mayo Urology Clinic. The investigators plan to assess patient satisfaction and comfort during this assessment using a visual analog scale questionnaire. The environmental variables will include music of the patients' preference, the sound of running water, or no background noise at all. By asking patients to complete a questionnaire, The investigators will be able to assess ways to improve patient comfort in a commonly used urologic assessment.
This study evaluates the effect of the need to void on parkinsonian gait
The purpose of this study is to determine the best verbal instruction to obtain a PFMC and to evaluate the understanding and acceptability of the proposed instructions.
