Filter by:An 8-week randomized, controlled, pilot clinical trial of Mirabegron compared to a standard anticholinergic therapy (Detrol LA) in elderly women with urgency urinary incontinence.
Aims: To assess pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strength in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and urgency urinary incontinence (UUI). Methods: 51 women were prospectively divided into two groups, according to the symptoms as SUI (G1 = 22) or UUI (G2 = 29). Demographic data, such as number of Pads/ 24 hours, number of micturitions/ 24 hours and nocturia, delay time of urgent void (i.e., the time period for which an urgent void could be voluntarily postponed), number of parity and vaginal deliveries were obtained using a clinical questionnaire. Objective urine loss was evaluated by 60-min Pad Test. Subjective [urine stream interruption test (UST), visual survey of perineal contraction and transvaginal digital palpation] and objective (vaginal manometry) evaluations of PFM were performed in all patients.
Sacral Nerve Stimulation (SNS) delivers non-painful, mild electrical pulses to the sacral nerves to modulate the reflexes that influence the bladder, sphincter, and pelvic floor to improve or restore normal voiding function. Sacral nerve stimulation is indicated for refractory voiding dysfunction including urinary urgency/frequency, urinary urge incontinence, and nonobstructive urinary retention. Since its introduction, SNS has undergone significant improvements in design and application so that implantation is now a minimally invasive procedure under local and intravenous (IV) sedation. However, despite the progress made in advancing this therapy to a minimally invasive procedure, there are neither data nor guidelines on ideal program settings. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the programming parameter of cyclic versus continuous stimulation on efficacy of the therapy. If the therapy is equally efficacious at both settings, the cyclic setting has the advantage of resulting in a longer battery life.
In this study we hope to establish the prevalence of urinary urge symptoms (with or without incontinence) in a multicultural, underserved, hospital clinic population in women between the ages of 20 and 45. Quality of life (QOL) in these individuals will be examined. The goal is to show a 15% reduction in number of voids in a 24 hour period in our study population after 12 weeks of treatment with solifenacin succinate. Hypothesis: We believe that urinary urge symptoms are under-reported in young women and believe they pose a significant strain on quality of life on otherwise young, healthy individuals. Treatment with solifenacin succinate will improve symptoms, in turn improving QOL for these individuals.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether women with overactive bladder (OAB) who receive direct instillation via a catheter of a Botulinum-A Toxin (Botox) with Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) solution experience significantly better improvement of their OAB symptoms when compared to a similar group of women with OAB who receive instillation of DMSO only.
This study will look at a drug for OAB (solifenacin) in combination with a non drug treatment (bladder training) compared to the drug on its own. The study will compare the symptoms of OAB by assessing patient diaries and other patient reported outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of OROS® oxybutynin to that of Ditropan® (immediate-release oxybutynin) for the treatment of patients with urge or mixed urinary incontinence. Oxybutynin is an antispasmodic, anticholinergic medication for the treatment of the symptoms of overactive bladder.
The purpose of this study is assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of the InterStim tined lead using a minimally invasive approach.
