Filter by:The purpose of this study is to verify the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture treatment of postmenopausal women with overactive bladder (OAB).
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of CST for the treatment of LUTS in patients with MS and evaluate the acute effects compared to PFPT. A. Objectives To examine the effect of CST as compared to PFPT on QOL, SEMG resting biofeedback readings, and PVR ultrasonography measures in patients with MS and LUTS. B. Hypotheses / Research Question(s) It is hypothesized that patients who receive CST will demonstrate improved QOL, bladder control and ability to empty bladder as compared to those who receive PFPT.
Prospective observational study. A substantial number of patients do not respond favourably to sacral neurostimulation (SNS) although clinically, they appear to have the same lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunction characteristics as the good responders. This may be due to methodological issues (lead position) or patient selection. The purpose of this study is to improve and standardize lead position, in order to increase the patient response to test stimulation and to SNS treatment, and to decrease adverse events.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAC-302 in detrusor underactivity patients with overactive bladder.
Overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) is a prevalent disorder that affects about 10% of the adult population and > 40% of elderly. It is defined by the presence of urgency, with or without urge incontinence, in the absence of infection or other pathology. In 1997 through 1999, sacral nerve stimulation SNS (InterStim, Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating urge urinary incontinence, urinary urgency, and frequency. Despite the large numbers of SNS performed, the only objective clinical evaluation of OAB is urodynamic detrusor instability (UDI) with some evidence suggesting a correlation with outcomes after sacral neuromodulation. Interestingly, the mechanism of action of SNS is not fully understood. Theories include direct activation of efferent fibers to the striated urethral sphincter causing reflex relaxation of the detrusor or potential activation of afferent fibers selectively which can lead to inhibition at spinal and supraspinal levels. Somatic sacral afferent inflow activation at sacral level affects the storage and emptying reflexes in the bladder and central nervous system, explaining the beneficial effects of neuromodulation on both storage and emptying functions of the bladder. Malaguti and his colleagues detected somatosensory evoked potentials during sacral neuromodulation, revealing that sacral neuromodulation works by both sacral afferent activity and somatosensory cortex activation. As sacral neuromodulation is clinically proven for both storage and emptying bladder dysfunctions, it is difficult to isolate its action to either sacral afferent or efferent circuits in the micturition reflex pathway. In our study, we are going to study sacral neuromodulation outcome predictors from the clinical and urodynamic perspectives in order to help identifying the right candidates for sacral neuromodulation procedure.
The impact of urinary symptoms in Parkinson disease (PD) extends beyond worsened well-being. Urinary symptoms common in PD, especially incontinence and nocturia, are major risk factors for falls likely due to the combination of urinary urgency and impaired mobility (and falls are a leading cause of mortality in PD), for spouse/caregiver stress due to decreased mutuality in the relationship, and for institutionalization, largely due to increased disability. Additionally, most medications currently recommended for urinary symptoms in PD are anticholinergic and have the potential to worsen the progressive cognitive and autonomic burdens of the disease. Veterans with PD are also more likely to rely solely on VA for their health care than Veterans without PD. Thus, optimizing the care of urinary symptoms for Veterans with PD becomes imperative, particularly for VA. Using a non-inferiority design, this proposal seeks to demonstrate the comparative effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle exercise-based behavioral therapy versus drug therapy to treat urinary symptoms in PD.
The overall objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of the standard monthly maintenance therapy for percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS), to sessions as the patient needs (prn) between 2 weeks and 12 weeks, based on overactive bladder symptoms. This is study is to help determine feasibility for conducting a larger trial that is appropriately powered to provide meaningful data.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ONO-8577 compared to combination of solifenacin succinate and mirabegron or placebo for overactive bladder
This study was done to verify whether the combination of transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (TPTNS) with low dose trospium chloride in the treatment of females with overactive bladder (OAB) would be more effective than TPTNS alone after failure of behavioral therapy.
