This study is an interventional, single arm, multi-center study. It will be conducted at sites in the northeastern United States. The protocol will be approved by Chesapeake IRB or applicable local IRBs. The sample size will consist of approximately 50 participants. Participants will undergo an initial control period in which preweighed pads will be worn for 7 consecutive days for 12 hours. This will be followed by device usage for 14 consecutive days where participants will wear both device and preweighed pads simultaneously. for 12 hours.
The aim of our study is to assess the value of concomitant surgical correction of asymptomatic grade II anterior vaginal wall prolapse with the placement of midurethral sling for treatment of female patients with stress incontinence
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common complaint in women after childbirth. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of non-ablative Er:YAG laser therapy in the treatment of SUI and improvement of sexual gratification in parous women. 114 premenopausal parous women with SUI were randomized in two groups of 57 women; a laser intervention group and sham control (placebo) group. Both groups were treated according to the IncontiLaseTM clinical treatment protocol for SUI with non-ablative thermal-only Er:YAG laser, except that there was no energy output when treating the sham group. Patients were blinded to the allocation. At baseline and 3 months after treatment patients were clinically examined, answered questionnaires for SUI severity sexual function assessment and their pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function was assessed with perineometry. The improvement in the laser group will be compared to the improvement in the sham group.
To compare the subjective and objective outcomes of TVT-O procedure alone versus the same procedure followed by the use of premarin vaginal cream for 3 months in postmenopausal female with genuine stress incontinence.
Urethral hypermobility, which can be assessed with Q-tip test, has been considered to be partly responsible for pathogenesis of women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Nonetheless, Q-tip test has lost favor due to patient discomfort. Thus, the purpose of this study was to search a surrogate for assessment of urethral hypermobility by correlating the Q-tip angle and the urodynamic variables in women with SUI.
GTx-024 is an orally bioavailable and tissue-selective nonsteroidal selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) that has demonstrated androgenic and anabolic activity and is currently being evaluated as a potential treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in postmenopausal women. Urinary incontinence and pelvic floor disorders are major health problems for women, especially as they age. Pelvic floor muscle relaxation has been found to correlate with lower urinary tract symptoms including SUI. Muscles of the pelvic floor and lower urinary tract are crucial for supporting the pelvic organs and micturition; however, damage to the muscles or lack of hormonal stimulation are thought to contribute to pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence. Although anabolic steroids may increase muscle mass and strength, lack of oral bioavailability and known potential risks have limited their use. Nonsteroidal SARMs have potential to achieve benefits of anabolic steroid therapy (improved muscle mass, cholesterol/triglyceride levels, glucose metabolism, and bone density) with fewer adverse effects, such as hirsutism and acne, in women. Both nonclinical and clinical data suggest that SARMs may provide a new therapeutic option for pelvic floor and lower urinary tract disorders, as both testosterone and its more potent metabolite, dihydrotestosterone, have anabolic effects on muscle.
After incontinence surgery, the patients randomly will be divided two groups. In group A postoperative urinary catheterization time will be applied one day, In group B catheterization will be applied two days. After removal of urinary catheter, residual volume will be measured and voiding function will be controlled. In postoperative period; third, sixth month and one year after surgery stress test will be applied to control success of surgery
The decision making process for stress incontinence surgery is complex. A key gap in the literature is how to improve patient preparedness and satisfaction for mid-urethral sling (MUS) surgery that is reproducible and low cost. Multimedia can assist in bridging this gap. The specific aims of the proposed research: (1) is to develop two videos to counsel patients who have elected to undergo a MUS surgery. One video will be created from a patient-centered perspective using peers as counselors. The second will employ a traditional counseling approach; (2) To compare the impact of multimedia counseling between women randomized to a patient-centered counseling versus a traditional counseling video. The investigators will recruit patients who present with stress urinary incontinence who elect to undergo a MUS procedure. Women will be randomized during their pre-operative visit to watch the patient-centered or traditional counseling video before they are counseled regarding their upcoming MUS surgery in the usual manner. The investigators anticipate women randomized to a patient centered-video will report higher satisfaction, less decisional regret, greater preparedness, and less anxiety as measured by validated scales. Successful completion will improve understanding of patient's needs and will allow development of improved educational tools readily available to the AUGS community.
FGBMM (footwear generated biomechanical manipulation) effects neuromuscular patterns of pelvic muscles. While there have been no published studies to our knowledge investigating the effect of FGBMM on urinary incontinence, FGBMM causes perturbations in balance and gait that create dynamics similar to dynamic lumbosacral stabilization exercises. The investigators propose that FGBMM induces the same bio-mechanical improvements as LPSE (lumbopelvic stabilization exercises) which have shown benefit for incontinence. Instead of instructing patients to co-contract the lower trunk and pelvic floor muscles as commonly done for LPSE, the shoes used in FGBMM can be calibrated in a way that causes this co-contraction to occur without the patient realizing. Beneficial pelvis and spine positioning can also be accomplished by strategic placement of the pods without having to instruct the patient on complicated maneuvers. Capitalizing on the excellent adherence and clinical benefits of FGBMM on related conditions, the investigators propose to evaluate the effects of FGBMM in addition to pelvic floor therapy for improving the symptoms of stress urinary incontinence in an urban inner city population.
