Filter by:The purpose of this research project is to test the effectiveness of a previsit educational video designed to help women understand the risks and benefits of a midurethral sling for treatment of stress urinary incontinence. A total of 38 participants will be recruited from both the Urogynecology pre-operative clinic of the university of California, Irvine Medical Center and the Urogynecology pre-operative clinic at Kaiser Permanente, Anaheim and Orange County. Participants will be randomized either to watch a 10 minute educational video (intervention group) or read a standard handout describing the midurethral sling (control group). Participants will then complete their pre-operative visit in the usual fashion. Participants will complete a pre- and post- intervention knowledge questionnaire to assess the primary outcome (change in knowledge before and after intervention). Participants will repeat the knowledge questionnaire and complete validated questionnaires for satisfaction with decision scale and decision regret at 2 and 6 weeks post-operative.
To report a case of impairment urethral coitus after the midurethral sling procedure
Multicenter, prospective, single-arm study to assess the safety and efficacy of the Vesair Bladder Control treatment in post-menopausal women with Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) with follow-up at 1, 3 and 12 months. All subjects will be prospectively treated after the subject has provided informed consent and determination that all study entry criteria have been met.
The ProACT Post Approval Study is a 5-year prospective, open-label, multi-center study designed to evaluate the long-term incidence of urethral stricture and device erosion after ProACT implantation. In addition, the study will evaluate whether treatment with ProACT affects clinical outcomes after subsequent SUI therapies.
This is a prospective observational study of women undergoing vaginal treatment with the fractional carbon dioxide (fCO2) laser for various urogenital symptoms.
Primary objective is to assess the tolerability and safety of the intraurethral 2940nm Er:YAG laser technique in combination with intravaginal 2940nm Er:YAG laser method for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a major public health issue affecting up to 25-50% of all women and has a detrimental impact on patient quality of life. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the most common form of urinary incontinence and is defined as the leakage of urine, which occurs during physical activity of exertion or on sneezing or coughing. It has been reported that the prevalence of SUI is 25 to 45% of the female population. If pelvic floor exercises are not effective, mid-urethral slings (MUS) are widely used as a first-line surgical treatment. Subjective and objective cure rates of 91% and 85% respectively have been reported for retropubic midurethral slings. Midurethral slings are commonly made of polypropylene (PP). Although the polypropylene products are effective and have relatively low rates of adverse events, the adverse events that do occur, like exposure and pain, have been related to the fact that a permanent synthetic mesh is implanted. Mesh-related complications are difficult to manage and may even involve partial or complete removal of the implant. Clinically, there is a need to investigate whether mid-urethral sling surgery can be performed with a non-permanent mesh made from a resorbable biomaterial, as an alternative for PP. Non-permanent meshes may be associated with fewer complications and better quality of life. However, before non-permanent and permanent mesh procedures can be compared, there is a need to first establish the feasibility of using a mesh in a mid-urethral sling procedure. The investigators hypothesize that a retropubic mid-urethral sling procedure to treat stress urinary incontinence, can be successfully performed using an implant made of poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB).
RCT designed to answer the question: Does the application of Erbium: YAG laser treatment to the vagina improve urine control for women with SUI?
A randomized controlled trial for patients with stress urinary incontinence or stress-dominant mixed incontinence. Subjects will be randomized to 8-weeks of home kegel exercises or 8 weeks of pelvic floor muscle exercises using the leva digital pelvic health system that includes visual biofeedback via smartphone.
This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled clinical study. The study is designed to demonstrate that active is superior to sham for the efficacy endpoints and is deemed to have appropriate safety as compared to sham.
