Patients with symptoms of overactive bladder suffer from frequent micturition, urinary incontinence and recurrent urinary tract infections. Intravesical injections with botulinum toxin A can be used as a second-line therapy for this purpose. Intravesical botulinum toxin A injections can be performed under general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, sedoanalgesia and local anesthesia. Which form of anesthesia is used varies greatly from region to region. As these patients are often elderly and morbid, the lowest-risk and least stressful anesthesia method should be used. The lowest-risk anesthesia method that can be used is local anesthesia. Currently, there are no guidelines that describe the use of standardized protocols for local anesthesia. The aim of this study is to show that the use of local anesthesia in this context is not inferior to the use of sedoanalgesia. All patients with overactive bladder symptoms who fulfill the inclusion criteria and present at the Urogynecology Outpatient Clinic of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the LKH Hochsteiermark in Leoben within 24 months will be invited to participate in the study. The main outcome measure is pain, secondary outcome measures are quality of life, patient satisfaction, incontinence score, operation time and length of stay in the recovery room, acceptance of repeating the procedure under local anesthesia, satisfaction with the type of anesthesia method, side effects/complications and duration of inpatient stay. The study will be randomized into 2 arms (local anesthesia/sedoanalgesia) with a 1:1 ratio to carry out the intravesical injection with botulinum toxin A.
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition with a prevalence of 17% in the general population that significantly affects quality of life. Intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injections are an advanced therapy for OAB as well as interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). The most common adverse event following intradetrusor injection of onabotulinumtoxinA in urinary tract infection (UTI), which occurs in 8.6-48.1% of patients. To prevent UTIs, patients are given a course of antibiotics, however the ideal prophylactic regimen has not been determined for the timing, duration, and type of antibiotic. Four retrospective studies in the literature address this question with variable conclusions, and there are no prospective studies. Identifying the ideal regimen is important for preventing UTIs as well as minimizing antibiotic use to prevent adverse effects and development of antibiotic resistance. The population to be studied will be female patients 18 years and older who are patients of the urogynecology and urology clinics at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center with a diagnosis of OAB or IC/BPS and have chosen to be treated with intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injections. It will be a non-blinded randomized controlled noninferiority trial in which the patients are randomly placed into 2 groups. The first group will receive a 3 day course of twice daily oral nitrofurantoin 100mg starting at the time of the procedure, and the second group will receive a single dose of 100mg oral nitrofurantoin at the time of the procedure. The patients will be screened at the clinic at the time that they schedule their intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injection appointment or by phone 1-2 weeks prior to their procedure. If the patient agrees to participate in the study then they will be instructed to give a urine sample for urinalysis and culture 1 week prior to the procedure appointment to exclude existing UTI. If a UTI is diagnosed at this time they must complete treatment prior to the procedure or will need to reschedule their procedure. On the day of the procedure patients will receive the clinic standard 10ml of 2% viscous lidocaine through the urethra 10-20 minutes prior to the procedure, and may be offered 5-10mg oral diazepam at the discretion of the treating physician. All patients will be given 200mg of phenazopyridine and 100mg of nitrofurantoin prior to the initiation of the procedure. The procedure will take place as directed by the treating physician per standard operating procedure. A urinalysis and urine culture will be placed for all study participants at time of their procedure appointment in case they have symptoms of UTI, and they will be instructed to follow up with the research team by phone if they have concerns for a UTI. Patients will be contacted 30-45 days after the procedure by phone, email, or message through genesis and asked about any UTI symptoms, UTI diagnoses and secondary outcomes during the 30 days following the procedure. Data will be analyzed for the primary outcome of UTI rates in the 30 days following intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injection.
The objective of the study is to demonstrate that the FemPulse System can be used as indicated in the Instructions for Use (IFU), as applicable.
The goal of this interventional clinical trial is to assess the safety, usability and initial efficacy of Xeomin and Vibe combination (ViXe) compared to placebo + sham in female subjects with idiopathic Overactive Bladder. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • The rate of device and drug related serious adverse events during treatment and throughout the follow up period • Investigator, subject and technician satisfaction from treatment, and • Assess the initial efficacy of the drug-device combination compared to placebo-sham combination. Participants will be treated a single time with the ViXe combination and will be followed up for a period of 12 weeks, during which they will visit the clinic after 2, 6 and 12 weeks. Participants will complete a 3-day voiding diary prior to the 6- and 12-week FU visit.
A randomized, single blind, non-inferiority clinical study was performed evaluating the efficacy and safety of AbobotulinumtoxinA vs. IncobotulinumtoxinA intradetrusor injections in women with overactive bladder and urge urinary incontinence. Also the effect of local anesthesia on pain level of the procedure was assessed.
Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of urgency incontinence (UUI) in 1998. One of two trial phase techniques are utilized prior to placement of the implantable pulse generator (IPG) to predict a patient's success with the device: a percutaneous nerve evaluation (PNE) or a stage implantation. Patients who experience a > 50% improvement in UUI symptoms progress to permanent implantation. PNE offers significant advantages compared to a staged implantation including a single anesthetic and operating room trip. Historically, full implantation rates are only 40-50% following PNE versus 70-90% in women who undergo a staged approach. The lower rate of progression to full implantation after PNE may be attributed to lead migration. Newer data suggest up to 90% of PNE trials lead to full implantation. The investigators hypothesize that shortening PNE trial time to 3 days from 7 days will not result in a lower proportion of PNE trials leading to SNM implantation and may offer less time for lead migration. The investigators aim to perform a multi-center, randomized trial to determine if a 3-day PNE trial is not inferior to a 7-day PNE trial with respect to rates of progression to SNM implantation.
A prospective observational cohort trial to study the effects of CGRP inhibitors (CGRPi) on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and bladder/pelvic pain. Candidates for either CGRPi or an alternative therapy for refractory migraines (OnabotulinumtoxinA (BoNTA) extracranial muscle injections) with baseline LUTS will be recruited. The investigators will assess LUTS and pelvic pain using validated symptom and quality-of-life questionnaires, pretreatment and at 3 months post-treatment follow-up, comparing change in symptoms based on treatment received.
This research study is being done to compare the effectiveness two drugs: an extended release torsemide (ERT) versus generic immediate release Torsemide (IRT) in reducing the worsening of symptoms of Overactive Bladder (OAB i.e., frequency, urgency, or urgency incontinence) in patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF). This study will include CHF patients who experience worsening OAB) symptoms with use of a loop diuretic. The total duration of the study is about eight weeks with a total of nine visits. There will be a screening visit that lasts one to two hours. The screening visit includes history and physical exams, blood draws, and urine analysis. If eligible for the study, participants will receive either generic torsemide or extended release torsemide for the first four weeks. Participants will do a virtual research visit on week one, two and three to submit a symptom diary and answer a questionnaire about urinary symptoms. At four weeks, history and physician exam will be done and blood will be collected. Participants will be assigned to receive either extended release torsemide (if they initially received generic torsemide) and generic torsemide (if they initially received extended release torsemide) for the next four weeks. Participants will attend virtual research visits on week five, six and seven to submit a symptom diary and answer a questionnaire about urinary symptoms. At the end of the study in week eight, they will have history and physical exams and blood draws. Some risks from the study may include side effects of torsemide like acute kidney injury, fluid/electrolyte loss, hypersensitivity reactions and reversible hearing loss/tinnitus.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate whether standard behavioral therapy combined with high-dose vitamin D (2400iu daily) is superior to standard behavioral therapy alone and standard behavioral therapy combined with solifenacin medication in improving frequency of incontinence and lower urinary tract symptom scores in children with wet OAB. Dedicated to understanding the current best treatment for wet OAB and to informing future clinical decisions and improving patient prognosis. The main questions it seeks to answer are - Question 1 To attempt to elucidate the relationship between vitamin D levels and their lower urinary tract symptoms. - Question 2 To examine the etiologic role of vitamin D in wet OAB in children. - Question 3 Compare the effectiveness and safety of interventions to elucidate the etiologic mechanisms and optimal intervention strategies for wet OAB in children. The researchers will compare (1) standard behavioral therapy with solifenacin (2) standard behavioral therapy with high-dose vitamin D (3) standard behavioral therapy alone to observe the clinical efficacy and safety of the three interventions for children with wet OAB.
