Filter by:Urinary incontinence is becoming an increasingly common health, social and economic problem. The prevalence of urinary incontinence is estimated at 55% of the entire female population. Urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) is the least common subtype of urinary incontinence but has debilitating symptoms that lead to a decrease in quality of life. Ultimately, the urogynegology field does not have many successful types of treatments for this specific subtype. Extracorporeal magnetic stimulation of the pelvic floor is a type of conservative management that produces a magnetic field, which induces controlled depolarization of the nerves, resulting in pelvic muscle contraction and sacral S2-S4 roots neuromodulation. Therefore, it relieves symptoms of UUI and improves quality of life. There was no randomized, sham-controlled study published that researched the effectiveness of magnetic stimulation in the treatment of UUI that evaluated the success with subjective and objective methods, such as urodynamic studies. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of magnetic stimulation in the treatment of urgency urinary incontinence.
To test efficacy and safety at six months of the proposed Pubourethral Plication Procedure (PPP) for cure of stress urinary incontinence - reinforcing pubourethral ligaments (PUL) with large diameter polyester sutures.
The following clinical trial investigates the efficacy of transvaginal radiofrequency in the physiotherapy treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The treatment compares transvaginal radiofrequency with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) and PFMT alone. The present study is a randomized controlled trial with double blinding (evaluator and patients). The objective is to evaluate what radiofrequency can provide in the improving of the quality of life, symptoms and pelvic floor muscle strength of patients with SUI. The reason for the combination with PFMT, is that it is the golden standard treatment in pelvic floor rehabilitation and SUI improvement.
Currently, perioperative pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) is not standard of care for all patients who undergo vaginoplasty surgery. While some practices have implemented these new programs, and the above data exist on outcomes associated with perioperative PFPT in transgender women undergoing vaginoplasty, no study has compared implementation of perioperative PFPT to routine care (no perioperative PFPT). Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of postoperative PFPT compared to no PFPT in transgender women undergoing vaginoplasty surgery for gender affirmation. Secondary objectives of the study are 1) to describe the incidence of preoperative pelvic floor dysfunction in transgender women undergoing PFPT and 2) to compare the effectiveness of postoperative PFPT alone to pre- and postoperative PFPT in these patients.
Sexual health is one of the important factors affecting the quality of life and general health of individuals. Sexual life, with its personal and social aspects, is an inseparable part of the human being in general. It is one of the most important factors in human life and happiness, especially in family life. Sexuality positively integrates and enriches the somatic, emotional, intellectual and social aspects of individuals, and develops a personality, communication and love. The concepts of sexuality and sexual health have long been considered taboo. This situation negatively affects rehabilitation strategies. Studies are known to have sexual problems in women more than men.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about how the vaginal microbiome affects pelvic floor disorders in women who have recently given birth. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can improving the vaginal microbiome allow women to improve muscle strength, improve muscle tone, and reduce tissue inflammation faster than women who do not use a vaginal hygiene system to improve their microbiome? Over a 3-month period, participants will be assessed three times for: - vaginal microbiome - vaginal pH - pelvic muscle strength - pelvic muscle tension - vulvovaginal tissue color At each of these 3 assessments, women will answer questions on a questionnaire. Half of the women will be asked to use a vaginal hygiene system at home during these 3 months. Researchers will compare use of a three-product vaginal hygiene system plus a specific vaginal lubricant to see if using these products improves the vaginal microbiome and the pelvic floor outcomes listed above.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy and usability of the electromyography component of the company's pelvic health product in a patient population with stress urinary incontinence. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does treatment with the device under study improve symptoms of stress urinary incontinence as measured by the ICIQ? Participants will be given one of the devices under study, in addition to educational materials on use of the device, and a treatment schedule. Participants will perform a standardized biofeedback-mediated pelvic floor muscle training program with the study device 10 minutes a day, five times a week for 4 weeks. There will be a mid-study check in to assure all devices are functioning appropriately. At the end of the study, participants will complete a post-treatment urinary incontinence symptom questionnaire(ICIQ).
The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that oral taking of baclofen in therapeutic dosage for 60 days is equally effective as injection of botulinum toxin type "A" in the area of trigger points of the pelvic muscles.
The goal of this pilot randomized pilot controlled trial (RTC)is to collect acceptability and feasibility outcomes of a physiotherapy individualized program in women with levator injury that is intended to be used in a larger scale multicenter randomized controlled trial (RTC) in the future. The main questions it aims to answer are if a physiotherapy program in women with a levator injury: 1. Can improve the pelvic floor morphometry (PFM). 2. Can improve urogynecological symptoms 3. The effect of a physiotherapy program in the sexual function 4. The effect of a physiotherapy program in the patient's fear avoidance beliefs about physical activity and work Type of study: randomized pilot controlled trial (RTC) The design of this trial will be a pilot randomized controlled trial with 3 arms. Participants will be randomized in 2 arm of women with levator ani injury to either physiotherapy or standard care and an arm of woman without levator injury Researchers will compare the 3 groups to see if a physiotherapy program have benefits in morphometry of the pelvic floor, urogynecological symptoms, sexual function and to avoid fear avoidance beliefs about physical activity and work.
This study will evaluate the clinical efficacy of the BTL-899 and HPM-6000UF devices in combination for non-invasive strengthening of the core muscles and overall improvement in quality of life in elderly patients.
