Filter by:Tibial nerve stimulation (TNS) has been shown to be an effective alternative for the management of the overactive bladder (OAB). Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TTNS) uses a series of regular electrical pulses to stimulate the tibial nerve. Numerous studies have positively shown the efficacy of this treatment. These studies have included multicentric, double-blind, randomized sham-controlled study of patients with idiopathic OAB. , . In 2013 the British National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance has added TTNS as a second-line option for the management of female urinary incontinence , . In reality, the vast majority of patients treated using tibial nerve receive treatment percutaneously (PTNS) by inserting a needle into their lower leg. PTNS requires 12 visits to a physician's office and a painful treatment experience. From a physician's perspective PTNS is resource intensive in terms of time, financial and staff commitments. As a result, PTNS is often not a feasible option from the point of view of health care delivery. Moreover, the treatment may not be an option for patients whose schedule or ability to travel is limited. These issues are exacerbated for those with disabilities requiring special transport arrangements and who have trouble committing to 12 expensive and long trips to receive treatment. Additionally, 8% of patients who undergo PTNS complain of adverse effects which include pain, bruising, tingling or bleeding at the insertion site of the 34-gauge needle. As a direct result of these limitations long-term follow up studies of patients undergoing PTNS treatment show poor compliance to PTNS over time . Non-invasive, homecare TTNS devices such as the ZIDA Wearable Neuromodulation System are on the cusp of achieving regulatory clearance. TTNS, stimulates transcutaneously at a home-based setting and at least one study has explored the efficacy of this treatment method . Early results have demonstrated improvements in OAB symptom scores and urodynamic parameters . So far, these studies have employed standard commercial TENS devices (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation). These studies have used a variety of treatment frequencies to stimulate the tibial nerve at frequencies between 10 to 40 Hz, patient have been advised which pre-determined stimulation settings can be used for home care treatment. Commercial TENS devices limit mobility of patients during the time that the nerve is being stimulated.
The aim of our study is to examine the effect of prolapse surgery on voiding. Our study is the very first one to combine several innovative low-invasive and low-cost methods to analyse the amelioration or deterioration of voiding function after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse using 3D/4D translabial ultrasound, home-uroflowmetry and patient reported quality of life outcomes.
This will be a prospective double-blinded randomized controlled trial comparing two pre-treatment protocols for patients undergoing intradetrussor botox injections to determine if a buffered lidocaine solution offers superior pain control.
In this clinical trials the sponsor want to assess a self-controlled-energo-neuroadaptative-regulation in patient with urge incontinence
High intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology induces deep pelvic floor muscle contractions designed to deliver the equivalent of 11,200 Kegel exercise over 28 minutes, with the intention of increasing neuromuscular tone of the pelvic floor. This study will have looking at treatment of the two of the most common pelvic floor disorders: stress or stress predominant urinary incontinence and urge or urge predominant urinary incontinence.
To develop an audiovisual decision aid (AVDA) to improve the informed consent process. The investigators aim to examine the impact of a comprehensible AVDA that is written below the 8th grade reading level. The AVDA would be used for surgical consent compared to traditional verbal consent. Additionally, the investigators plan to determine whether this effect varies across the measured levels of health literacy of our patients.
The purpose of this prospective study is to examine the safety and efficacy of high intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology for the treatment of women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), urge incontinence (UI) and mixed stress urinary and urge incontinence (MUI), looking at any potential sexual health benefits that may be concomitantly achieved from this treatment.
OnabotulinumtoxinA (Botox®) bladder injections are a highly effective treatment for overactive bladder and urgency urinary incontinence. The procedure is typically performed in the office setting with one of two medications to control comfort. However, the effectiveness of these medications has never been compared. The goal of this study is to determine which medication is better at providing comfort during bladder Botox® injections.
The purpose of this investigator-initiated study is to investigate the efficacy and costs of direct full stage sacral neuromodulation in patients with overactive bladder. Patients with refractory OAB and urge urinary incontinence will undergo direct full stage implantation and be followed for a period of 6 months to monitor symptom improvement with voiding diaries and validated questionnaires preoperatively and postoperatively. Therapeutic and adverse outcomes will be evaluated. The use of medical resources and time off of work will be analyzed as well. This will be a descriptive study with no additional arms or randomization.
This is a mixed methods study to compare group medical visits (GMVs) to usual care for Spanish speaking Latina women with urgency urinary incontinence. Patients will be randomized to GMVs and to usual care. At the conclusion of each series of GMVs we will hold a focus group for participants.The primary outcome will be improvement in urgency urinary incontinence symptoms.
