Filter by:The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of a group-based yoga intervention to decrease the frequency and impact of urinary incontinence in ambulatory middle-aged and older women and explore potential mediators of improvement in outcomes. Women aged 45 years and older who report daily or more frequent stress-, urgency-, or mixed-type incontinence, are not already engaged in formal yoga or muscle stretching/strengthening programs, are willing to temporarily forgo other clinical treatments for incontinence, are able to walk to and use the bathroom without assistance, and meet other eligibility criteria will be recruited from multiple locations surrounding the San Francisco Bay area.
This trial is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm follow-on study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of eCoinTM tibial nerve stimulation in subjects with urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) as defined by the American Urological Association (30). The follow-on study will evaluate changes from baseline in OAB symptoms as measured by voiding diaries and patient-reported outcomes through 24 weeks of eCoinTM therapy (which is the same as 28 weeks from study device reimplantation).
This trial is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm study of the safety and effectiveness of eCoinTM tibial nerve stimulation in subjects having overactive bladder (OAB) with urgency urinary incontinence (UUI). The study will evaluate changes from baseline in OAB symptoms as measured by voiding diaries and patient reported-outcomes through 48 weeks of eCoinTM therapy or 52 weeks of implantation.
Accidental bowel leakage (fecal incontinence) increases in people who have diarrhea and sensations of urgency to have a bowel movement. Drugs such as loperamide (Imodium) that reduce diarrhea improve accidental bowel leakage, but loperamide has disadvantages: it is difficult to find a dose that does not cause constipation, and it does not reduce urge sensations. Eluxadoline is a new drug that is effective for reducing diarrhea, abdominal pain, and urgency in patients with irritable bowel syndrome, and it may be less likely than loperamide to cause severe constipation. Therefore, eluxadoline may help patients manage accidental bowel leakage caused by diarrhea. The chemical name for Viberzi® is eluxadoline. The primary aims of this study are to find out if eluxadoline at a dose of 100 mg orally twice a day will reduce the average number of days the patient has accidental bowel leakage, and to see if the rate of accidental bowel leakage increases when the patient stops taking eluxadoline. Additional goals are to find out if eluxadoline decreases diarrhea and urge sensations. This is a small (pilot) study to show whether eluxadoline is an effective way of treating accidental bowel leakage. If the study shows this, a larger study will be needed. There are three phases to this 12-week study: (1) A two-week run-in period to see if the patient meets the inclusion criteria. (2) Two months for treatment including one month on eluxadoline and one on placebo (sugar pills) twice a day. (3) A two-week follow-up to see what happens when you stop taking eluxadoline. To participate in the study, patients should be aged 18 or older. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease, anal fissures, or congenital malformations will be excluded. The primary outcome is the average number of days per week with any solid or liquid bowel accidents. Additional information includes: (1) Number of days per week the patient takes loperamide, (2) days per week with loose or watery stools, (3) days per week with moderate to strong urge sensations, and (4) questionnaires to measure the severity of accidental bowel leakage, quality of life, anxiety, and depression. There will be up to 38 patients in the study.
This multi-center clinical trial will evaluate the safety and long-term efficacy of hybrid fractional 2940 nm and 1470 lasers for improvement of symptoms of urinary incontinence.
The purpose of this prospective research study is to evaluate higher neural changes following intradetrusor injection of Botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A) in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Concurrent Urodynamic and Functional Magnetic Resonance (fMRI) data will be recorded pre- and post- intravesical injection of BTX-A in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and neurogenic detrusor activity (NDO). Other objectives are to evaluate the role of urinary biomarkers such as brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) associated with bladder overactivity and, to determine whether the common validated urgency questionnaires correlate with fMRI findings and urinary biomarker concentration pre- and post- BTX-A injection in patients with MS and NDO.
The purpose of the study is to compare patient centered- outcomes between Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) at three locations to treat urinary urge incontinence. One of these locations will be along the tibial nerve, which is traditionally accessed near the medial malleolus. The second site will be on the sacral nerve which is accessed over the sacrum. The third site will be a sham site on the shoulder. This study will evaluate the feasibility of transcutaneous electrical stimulation in the treatment of overactive bladder.
30 patient Study. All patients implanted with StimGuard Protect System. Patient followed out to 90 days.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is as effective as Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) as therapeutic option for subjects with Idiopathic Overactive Bladder (OAB) who have failed conventional therapy.
Urinary incontinence is defined according to the International Continence Society as any involuntary loss of urine, which may bring several negative consequences on women's lives, and among incontinent women, about 50% have urinary incontinence, 30% mixed and 20% emergency. The overactive bladder present in urge incontinence and mixed cause significant impacts on people's lives and has a prevalence of 16.5% in the US population. Behavioral therapies, exercises the pelvic muscles and drugs are the main forms of treatment. Drug therapy using drugs which are not specific for the bladder and are associated with many unwanted systemic side effects. The results obtained by researchers in several countries using conservative techniques in the treatment of patients with urinary incontinence are encouraging and this study aims to evaluate carefully and systematically the effectiveness of tibial stimulation technique. Importantly, also, that conservative techniques have lower cost than the surgical treatment and have virtually no side effects as most of the drugs used in the pharmacological treatment of female urinary incontinence.
