Filter by:The purpose of this study is to prospectively assess whether Desmopressin, given for a period of month to patients after radical cystectomy with orthotopic bladder reconstruction, improves and lowers the rate of nocturnal enuresis.
Aim: To investigate the effect of melatonin in bedwetting.
Desmopressin in treatment of nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting).
This is multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, double-blind, dose-escalating clinical trial designed to assess the efficacy and safety of desmopressin orally lyophilisate for the treatment of nocturnal enuresis "with decreased nighttime urinary osmolality."
Alarm-treatment as well as Desmopressin, a synthetic analogue of human vasopressin, are considered the only evidence-based medicine (EBM) IA treatments in monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE). Desmopressin exists in three different formulations for ambulant use: nasal spray, tablet and lyophilisate (MELT) each with differences in bioavailability (spray 2%, tablet 0.2%, MELT 0.5%). There 's insufficient evidence to confirm the actually used bioequivalent doses ( 10µg spray = 120µg MELT= 0.2mg tablet). Although so frequently used, very few pharmacokinetic and -dynamic data on desmopressin are available for children. Due to prolonged half life, associated with waterintoxication,the nasal spray has a black box warning from the FDA and is no longer recommended . For some authors oral formulations appear to be a safer alternative. However, based on clinical experience of less response rate with oral formulations, lower biodisponibility is suspected. Adult research confirms low bioavailability of tablets but also show major influences by food-intake and changes in gastro-intestinal motility. To achieve maximum efficacy, recommendations are to take desmopressin tablet 1 hour before bedtime and 2 hours after meal: this is unrealistic in schoolaged children since there never is 3 hours between evening meal and bedtime. In 2005 a dose response study demonstrated superior pharmaco-kinetic and dynamic properties for desmopressin Lyophilisate MELT formula. Since these results implicate superior action of MELT, often a change to MELT is recommended if there is a suboptimal response with tablet: sublingual absorption would eliminate the influence of food-intake. However, for this statement there's no evidence, since these tests were all conducted in children in fasting condition. Only one clinical study demonstrates bioequivalence for MELT and tablet. Hypothesis is that desmopressin MELT formulation has a better bioavailability when administered together with meal due to its sublingual absorption.
Several treatment modalities for children suffering from monosymptomathic nocturnal enuresis are available including drugs, alarms, acupuncture, pelvic floor training and biofeedback. The aim of this study is to to test if Paula Method (circular muscle exercise) can be an another treatment modality.
The purpose of the Strongest Families (formerly Family Help Program)is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Strongest Families distance intervention compared to usual or standard care that is typically provided to children with mild to moderate Enuresis diagnoses. This is a single-centre trial based at the IWK Health Centre. The primary outcome is change in diagnosis.
To evaluate the overall response to desmopressin treatment among previously untreated enuretic children aged 5-15 years after 3 and 6 months of treatment. To investigate the influence of possible predictive factors on response after 3 and 6 months of treatment. To evaluate the proportion of patients achieving dryness. To evaluate the long-term safety profile of oral desmopressin in children with primary nocturnal enuresis.
The purpose of the study is to determine if ibuprofen in combination with pseudoephedrine HCl in the treatment of nightime bedwetting in children is more effective than each drug alone and if the individual drugs are more effective than placebo.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether desmopressin administered as a melt tablet is effective in reducing the number of wet nights in children and adolescents who suffer from bedwetting.
