View clinical trials related to Overactive Bladder.
Filter by:Overactive bladder (OAB) is a very common problem that impairs the quality of life of about 17% of adult population in USA above the age of 40. The issues becomes more prominent with getting older. OAB was determined by International Continence Society as urgency (immediate desire to urinate that could not be postponed) with or without incontinence usually associated with increased frequency and nocturia (urination at night). In 2012, American Urologic Association published clinical guidelines for the treatment of OAB of non neurogenic origin. Neuromodulation was proposed as the third line of treatment and two treatments were recommended: sacral nerve neuromodulation (SNM) and posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS). Each of above mentioned procedures are invasive. SNM involves lead implantation in operating room using X-ray guidance and anesthesia. PTNS involves needle insertion on the low extremity. The investigators would like to examine the efficacy of transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS) in refractory to the first two lines of OAB treatment patients.
The purpose of this study is to check whether antimuscarinics that usually broadly used in the treatment of overactive bladder symptoms are effective in the treatment of those symptoms after insertion of ureteral stents. In order to study the efficacy of the treatment of OAB symptoms in stented patients the investigator will use a suitable questionnary.
To investigate the long-term safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of KUC-7483 in patients with overactive bladder.
In this study we hope to establish the prevalence of urinary urge symptoms (with or without incontinence) in a multicultural, underserved, hospital clinic population in women between the ages of 20 and 45. Quality of life (QOL) in these individuals will be examined. The goal is to show a 15% reduction in number of voids in a 24 hour period in our study population after 12 weeks of treatment with solifenacin succinate. Hypothesis: We believe that urinary urge symptoms are under-reported in young women and believe they pose a significant strain on quality of life on otherwise young, healthy individuals. Treatment with solifenacin succinate will improve symptoms, in turn improving QOL for these individuals.
Subjects with non-neurogenic over-active bladder will be enrolled. The hypothesis is that augmentation cystoplasty using an autologous neo-bladder construct will increase functional capacity and thereby reduce the number of micturition episodes per day in subjects with non-neurogenic over active bladder and urge predominant incontinence.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether Botulinum-A toxin injected in the bladder muscle will help prevent the frequency and degree of urinary incontinence in Spinal Cord Injured and Multiple Sclerosis patients. The proposed mechanism would be that the Toxin would allow the bladder to hold more urine at a lower pressure as determined by Urodynamics. The research will answer the question whether the dosages 300 units vs 400 units are either equally vs not equally effective in helping urinary incontinece and bladder storage.
