View clinical trials related to Urinary Bladder, Overactive.
Filter by:Overactive bladder (OAB) is a syndrome characterized by urinary urgency, with or without urinary incontinence, nocturia, and urinary frequency. Intravesical injection of onabotulinumtoxinA is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treatment of neurogenic and idiopathic OAB. Current standard of practice involves 100 U of onabotulinumtoxinA diluted in 10 ml saline cystoscopically injected into approximately 20 different detrusor muscle sites equally distributed along the posterior bladder wall and dome. This treatment was classically done in the operating room under general anesthesia, but now is typically performed in an office setting using local anesthesia (lidocaine) as this is more feasible and tolerable. Patients can experience discomfort and pain with each injection. Evidence has also shown that administering the same dose of onabotulinumtoxinA into fewer injection sites in the detrusor muscle (ranging from 3 to 10) results in equivalent efficacy compared to the current standard. However, it has yet to be determined if there is a significant difference in patient satisfaction and tolerability when the procedure is administered in an office setting using the same dosage with fewer injections. Our study aims to assess whether patient tolerance and satisfaction of intravesicular onabotulinumtoxinA increases with the use of 4 detrusor injections as opposed to 20 injections when performed in an office setting on women with OAB.
Purpose: A lot of etiological factors related to overactive bladder (OAB) has been investigated. However, the role of primary nocturnal enuresis (NE), which is characterized with childhood night time incontinence, in the etiology of OAB is controversial. This study aims to evaluate the effect of NE in patients diagnosed with OAB. Metod Between january-september 2021, the data of patients who applied to the urology outpatientclinic with OAB symptoms were collected. Patients with a history of chronic systemic disease, previous medical treatment for OAB and who did not accept to join the study were excluded. According to the diagnosis of childhood NE, patients were divided into two groups. Demographic data hav been recorded. Frequency of incontinence, number of day time void and nocturia were evaluated according to a 3 day voiding diary. Inaddition, max. Urinary flowr atio (Qmax), bladder Wall thickness and postvoid residual volüme rates were determined using uroflowmetry and pelvic ultrasound.
In this study, the investigators aim to validate the telemedicine paradigm as a feasible alternative to traditional in-person clinic visits for the management of overactive bladder (OAB).
Medical cannabis (MC) is a standard treatment in Israel to Parkinson's disease (PD) patients suffering from pain. Nevertheless, it is not known about MC effectiveness for other non-motor symptoms of the disease. Our aim is to prospectively observe patients with PD before and after initiation of MC, for non-motor symptoms effect. In specific, relying of data from multiple sclerosis patients and basic science showing cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) is abundantly expressed in the sub epithelial layer of the bladder, we will explore the impact of MC on bladder function and urinary symptoms.
Overactive bladder (OAB) affects an estimated 16-30% of women in the US and urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) affects 7-11% of women with OAB. It is known that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the supplementary motor area (SMA) can modulate the pelvic floor muscle activity with potential benefits for various urologic conditions. The goal of this study is to assess feasibility of rTMS as a treatment option for OAB with UUI by determining which rTMS frequency is most effective in targeting sensory components of OAB, namely urinary urgency, and also in targeting the brain network known to be involved in OAB.
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a collective term referring to disorders which is characterized by lower urinary tract symptoms, including bladder pain/discomfort, frequent urination without evidence of bacterial infection. The etiology of IC/BPS is still uncertain, and most current treatment for IC/BPS are only symptoms control. Our previous study revealed Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection presented in the IC/BPS bladders and involved the pathogenesis. Hence, using anti-viral medication valacyclovir for the patients with IC/BPS might have clinical efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to assess how psychological stress and anxiety relate to bladder sensitivity and to psychological burdens in people with overactive bladder and how this can be measured effectively.
This is a prospective randomized clinical trial, evaluating the effect of the intra-ureteral placement of the stent's distal end versus the conventional stent placement on the postoperative LUTS and pain.
This study will evaluate the treatment satisfaction, discontinuation, reasons for discontinuation, quality of life, healthcare resource utilization, and safety with Vibegron for the treatment of OAB in the context of real-world clinical practice.
A retrospective analysis of medical records at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital from January 2008 to May 2020 about female patients with overactive bladder syndrome, who received Solifenacin or Mirabegron as the initial treatment. Factors affecting persistence of OAB medications will be analyzed.
