Filter by:Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common benign neoplasm in men. Almost 90% of men in their 70s report lower urinary tract symptoms related to BPH. These symptoms carry a significant negative impact on the patients' quality of life. Despite the wide availability of surgical offerings to relieve bladder outlet obstruction such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP), and prostatectomy, many patients still suffer from persistent LUTS after undergoing these. A study describing postoperative outcomes following HoLEP revealed that patients with severe lower urinary tract symptoms, storage-positive sub-score, and high maximum urinary flow rate before the surgery were affected by a rebound of mainly storage symptoms 6-8 weeks after HoLEP and prolonged recovery from LUTS with 7.4% of them presenting for persistent urge complaints. Optimizing the management approach for these patients has been limited by lack of high level evidence-based recommendations and expert consensus. Intravesical botox injections are well-established therapeutic options for several urinary disorders. The current practice offers intravesical botox injections to patients who suffer from persistent urinary symptoms few months after their BPH procedure. This study aims to evaluate if giving botox injections at the time of the HoLEP surgery would yield a better outcome than performing the two procedures separately at different times (few months apart). The concomitant use of botox injection during bladder de-obstructing procedures has been previously studied in TURP and have showed a significant reduction of incontinence episodes and OAB symptoms in the group that were treated with botox injections after 36 weeks post TURP. This data may suggest promising potential of this intervention in managing persistent OAB symptoms in patients with BOO. However, the efficacy of combining HoLEP and bladder Botox injections has not been systematically studied and evaluated. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of intravesical Botox injections on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) when administered during HoLEP surgery in patients with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and overactive bladder symptoms (OAB). The investigators are interested in comparing the postoperative outcome in terms of recovery and symptom relief in patients who performed HoLEP surgery with bladder Botox injections versus those who performed HoLEP surgery only at 2 weeks,1 month, 3 months, and 6 months postoperatively. The investigators hypothesize that administering bladder botox injections during HoLEP surgery is a combination treatment that will result in faster and more potent symptom relief compared to patients who received only a HoLEP surgery for their obstructive and irritative symptoms.
A randomized clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using the Beta 3 agonist drug (Mirabegron) combined with standard behavioral therapy in comparison to using the anticholinergic drug (Solifenacin) combined with behavioral therapy, for children with non-neurogenic voiding dysfunction refractory to behavioral therapy alone, using improvement of dysfunctional voiding symptom score as a primary measurement of efficacy.
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a syndrome characterized by urinary urgency, with or without urinary incontinence, nocturia, and urinary frequency. Intravesical injection of onabotulinumtoxinA is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treatment of neurogenic and idiopathic OAB. Current standard of practice involves 100 U of onabotulinumtoxinA diluted in 10 ml saline cystoscopically injected into approximately 20 different detrusor muscle sites equally distributed along the posterior bladder wall and dome. This treatment was classically done in the operating room under general anesthesia, but now is typically performed in an office setting using local anesthesia (lidocaine) as this is more feasible and tolerable. Patients can experience discomfort and pain with each injection. Evidence has also shown that administering the same dose of onabotulinumtoxinA into fewer injection sites in the detrusor muscle (ranging from 3 to 10) results in equivalent efficacy compared to the current standard. However, it has yet to be determined if there is a significant difference in patient satisfaction and tolerability when the procedure is administered in an office setting using the same dosage with fewer injections. Our study aims to assess whether patient tolerance and satisfaction of intravesicular onabotulinumtoxinA increases with the use of 4 detrusor injections as opposed to 20 injections when performed in an office setting on women with OAB.
The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) on pelvic floor muscle strength, sexual functions, bladder symptoms and quality of life in women with overactive bladder (OAB).
Overactive bladder (OAB) has a negative impact on the daily activities of affected individuals. OAB affects an estimated 12-17% of adults and has a similar reported prevalence in men and women. It has the potential to impair multiple domains of quality of life, including restriction of social and work life, while also resulting in higher healthcare resource use and costs. The primary objective of the present study was to evaluate, in a Croatian population reporting symptoms of OAB, the effect on work productivity and treatment behaviors (treatment seeking, receiving treatment, treatment dissatisfaction and treatment discontinuation).
Fluoroscopy is performed when placing a lead during a sacral neuromodulation procedure. During lead placement, subjects will receive either conventional or experimental fluoroscopic settings. The radiation exposure will be compared between the two groups.
The investigators' goal is to compare the efficacy of three different management strategies (sacral neuromodulation, botulinum toxin, M receptor antagonist) in treating consistent OAB in patients with SVMs after surgery.
The purpose of this study is to verify the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture treatment of postmenopausal women with overactive bladder (OAB).
This study is designed to evaluate men before radical prostatectomy for the incidence of Overactive Bladder (OAB), as well as urge urine incontinence (UUI) development after the surgery. Patients will be evaluated for signs of OAB and for signs of Bladder Outlet Obstruction (BOO). Afterwards they will be divided into four observational groups. Follow up period is designed to be 12 months.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a self-therapeutic approach of skin adhesive low-level light therapy (LLLT) in females with Overactive Bladder (OAB) and Urinary Incontinence (UI)
