Filter by:There are many studies in the literature on healthy children with lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD), but there are limited number of studies in children with cerebral palsy (CP) with LUTD. This study aim to contribute to the literature by examining the effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and abdominal massage in the treatment of children with CP with LUTD and comparing the superiority of the two treatment methods to each other.
Urinary symptoms are frequently seen in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Early evaluation of the patients in terms of the urinary system, planning the appropriate treatment and following up at regular intervals are extremely important in terms of preventing urinary system complications. Neuromodulation applications are used reliably in the urological treatment of MS patients. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of different neuromodulation techniques, transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, in patients with MS reporting lower urinary tract symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of SCONE neuromodulation therapy after 12 weeks of therapy in comparison to inactive sham control in improving symptoms of Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction
Neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury can be divided into detrusor hyperreflexia and detrusor non reflexia. Acupuncture is recognized as a safe and effective treatment. The most commonly used acupoints are Guanyuan, Zhongji and Sanyinjiao. The purpose of this study is to clarify the therapeutic effects of different acupoints on different types of bladder. Main process: routine urodynamic examination was performed first, and then electroacupuncture was given to Guanyuan, Zhongji and Sanyinjiao points respectively, and urodynamic examination was performed again to observe the effect of Electroacupuncture on urodynamic parameters in real time.
The investigators have developed a novel pressure monitoring device called a 'cystoelastometer' that connects to a drainage end ofastandard urinary catheters that are used by patients with a neurogenic bladder on daily clean intermittent catheterization. The device has already been demonstrated to be accurate in measuring bladder pressure compared to the gold standard urodynamics that are performed in the clinic or hospital. This study will assess the patients and care givers ability and experience using the cystoelastometer device in a home setting.
This is the first ever comparative effectiveness study of an antibiotic-sparing novel self-management intervention to prevent complicated urinary tract infection (UTI).
Determining the most appropriate time to evaluate detrusor activity in urodynamic studies for both traumatic and non-traumatic spinal cord injuries
Sacrococcygeal teratomas are the most common neonatal tumors and require rapid and complete resection. Tumor nerve compression and pelvic surgical sequelae may lead to many and varied voiding disorders. Data concerning long-term vesico-sphincteric disorders are conflicting. Some studies find good functional results [Cozzi et al., 2008; Draper et al., 2009]. However other authors reveal neurologic bladder with detrusor sphincter dyssynergia [Hambraeus et al., 2018] and rise concerned about long-term renal function [Khanna et al., 2019; Rehfuss et al., 2020] even in the absence of clinical voiding disorders. Most of studies include young patients with other malformations such as anorectal malformations or dysraphisms which may impact the results. The main objective is to assess bladder dysfunction in children aged 6 to 18 years after isolated sacrococcygeal teratoma resection.
Incontinence associates with military service and post-traumatic stress disorder in both male and female Veterans. Neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) is caused by spinal cord injury or disorder, or peripheral neurodegenerative conditions, and causes urine leakage at low volumes. NDO is disproportionately experienced by Veterans and treatment effectiveness varies greatly between individuals. This project will demonstrate the feasibility of a new type of nerve stimulation-triggered sacral neuromodulation-to treat NDO in Veterans. A wireless bladder sensor will be inserted into the bladder to transmit a feedback signal enabling stimulation from a percutaneous lead. The wireless sensor will also measure NDO symptoms during simulated activities of daily living without catheters. Catheter-free detection of bladder activity will improve the outcomes of neuromodulation evaluations for Veterans with NDO. Future work could use the triggered neuromodulation system to study other methods of nerve stimulation to treat bladder, bowel, or sexual dysfunction.
The major part of people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) experiences Low Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) secondary to neurogenic Low Urinary Tract Dysfunctions (n-LUTDs) during the course of MS, reaching almost 100% after about 10 years. N-LUTDs represent an important issue for pwMS, especially for their negative impact on Quality of Life (QoL), as they are mainly youngs in the prime of their life. Moreover n-LUTDs can lead to serious complications on the urinary tract as infections or renal failure. Therefore, the neurologist in daily clinical practice must intercept the possible presence of LUTS as soon as possible so that he can promptly initiate optimal management. To do this, it is essential to provide neurologists with validated, reproducible and sensitive tools that are, above all, easy to use in an outpatient setting. Our clinical research seeks, for the first time, to show whether pwMS get any improvement after the initial LUTS management, whether this improvement, if any, is related to the professional figure takes care about LUTS (neurologist vs urologist) and if there is an objective improvement of voiding performances on standardized measures.
