To investigate the long-term safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of KUC-7483 in patients with overactive bladder.
Dysfunctional voiding is often associated with constipation. The association of constipation with urologic pathologic processes has previously been described since the 1950's, but it was only over the past decade that clinicians have paid more attention to this relationship and recognized it existence with the term dysfunctional elimination syndrome (DES). This term is used to reflect the broad spectrum of functional disturbances that may affect the urinary tract including that of functional bowl disturbances and can be classified as follows: - Functional disorder of filling: overactive bladder, over distention of bladder or insensate bladder, which may be associated with fecal impaction or rectal distention with infrequent bowel movements - Functional disorder of emptying: over-recruitment of pelvic floor activity during voiding causing interrupted and/or incomplete emptying also associated with defecation difficulties due to non- relaxation of the puborectalis muscle, dyssynergic defecation or pain with defecation Several different therapeutic options have been used for patients with dysfunctional voiding mainly to decrease bladder outlet obstruction. These treatments including, alpha adrenergic antagonists, and botulinum toxin are less than optimum. One possible explanation for these drug failures includes the inability of these medications to relax the striated muscles of the pelvic floor necessary for voiding. To date there has been no data to evaluate the role of baclofen on the striated muscle of the external anal sphincter, essential in the defecation process.
The purpose of the study is to assess patient's persistency in maintaining solifenacin treatment for overactive bladder.
The purpose of the study is to compare the effect of solifenacin succinate between frequent micturition patients with urgency and those without urgency.
Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) implantation is a minimally invasive procedure which has current FDA approval for urinary urge incontinence, urgency-frequency syndrome and non-obstructive urinary retention, and has been available in the United States since 1997. The SNS delivers non-painful, mild electrical pulses to the sacral nerves to modulate the reflexes that influence the bladder, sphincter, and pelvic floor to improve or restore normal voiding function. While SNS has been shown to have efficacy for the aforementioned conditions, the exact mechanism of action is unknown, but it is believed to work primarily through the somatic afferent system in promoting inhibitory reflex pathways to facilitate urine storage. The degree of stimulation is thought to be at a level that only evokes a sensory and not a motor response; however this has not been tested.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the level of medication adherence observed among subjects receiving a specific combination of education and support materials (YourWay plan) along with a prescription for fesoterodine.
This study evaluated the effectiveness of trospium chloride extended release (XR) in obese female patients with overactive bladder (OAB). Patients received either placebo and trospium chloride XR or placebo only. The study assessed the change from baseline in urinary frequency, urgency, and incontinence for trospium chloride XR versus a placebo-pill. The study was 14 weeks in duration.
This study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of a flexible dose regimen of fesoterodine on urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) episodes in vulnerable elderly subjects with overactive bladder (OAB).
OAB occurs in approximately 50% to 75% of men with BPO and up to 38% of men with BPO continue to suffer from OAB after relief the obstruction.Symptoms of OAB are more bothersome than the voiding complaints of slow stream and hesitancy. However, the patients with both BPO and OAB are often not treated with muscarinic receptor antagonists due to concern that they will experience acute urinary retention. Tolterodine is a potent and pure muscarinic receptor antagonist that was developed specifically for the treatment of overactive bladder. Recently, studies revealed that tolterodine was effective, safe and well tolerated in adults with OAB and urodynamically confirmed BPO.However, the optimal dosage of antimuscarinic for the treatment of OAB coexisting BPO was not yet fully assessed. In real clinical situation, some patients complain voiding difficulty after addition of antimuscarinics and want to stop antimuscarinics.It is probable that a lower dosage of antimuscarinics combined with alpha-adrenergic antagonists can be used safely in OAB patients with BOO, with the same efficacy. This study is designed to investigate the optimal doses of tolterodine SR in combination with doxazosin in men with both BOO and OAB based on efficacy, safety, and tolerability.
