Filter by:This is a 12 month non-interventional study with solifenacin succinate, evaluating the effect of solifenacin on quality of life (QoL) of patients previously treated with antimuscarinics (Males and Females with Overactive Bladder (OAB) symptoms withdrawing their treatment with antimuscarinics because of safety and/or efficacy reasons) - measured by Perception of Treatment Satisfaction (TS-VAS) and to evaluate the effect of solifenacin on quality of life measured by Over Active Bladder-q Short Form (OAB-q SF), EuroQol Group scoring system (EQ-5D-5L).
The purpose of this study was to examine how well the combination of two medicines (solifenacin succinate and mirabegron) worked compared to each medicine alone in the treatment of bladder problems, and how safe they were for long term use.
Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a minimally invasive secondary treatment for overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) or for non-obstructive urinary retention (NOR), when refractory to conservative treatment. Success rates range from 70 to 80%, and good long-term results are reported. The working mechanism of SNM is not completely understood, and the only prognostic factor for good response to this treatment is a successful test stimulation period. There is no consensus on the duration of this test stimulation period. The experience in our clinic during test stimulation period is that for responders it takes up to one week to achieve maximal effect, after the system is turned 'on'. On the other hand the investigators notice that after turning the neuromodulation system 'off', it will take a few hours for symptoms to return to the baseline situation. The fact is: no information concerning the so called "time of onset" and "time of offset" (or popular called: wash-in / wash-out) of sacral neuromodulation is available in current literature.
The purposes of this study were to assess Quality of Life (QoL) and urination urge, incontinence, and micturition frequency including nocturia after 4 and 12 weeks treatment with propiverine.
This study is a Post-Marketing Surveillance study in Korea to evaluate the safety and efficacy of botulinum toxin Type A to treat urinary incontinence in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) or overactive bladder (OAB) not adequately controlled by anticholinergic drugs.
The purpose of this study was to examine how well two medicines (solifenacin succinate and mirabegron) combined work compared to each medicine alone in the treatment of bladder problems.
This is an ethically approved randomised controlled study looking at whether Cystodistension(filling the bladder with fluid under pressure) provides any benefit over cystoscopy alone (looking in the bladder) in women with refractory overactive bladder. Urine samples will also be assessed for underlying infected cause of OAB using urinalysis, microscopy and culture and cytokine assays (In collaboration with the University of Kent). We hypothesize that Cystodistension has a therapeutic benefit to women with refractory OAB and the there is an increase prevalence in chronic urinary infections with raised cytokines in women with refractory OAB.
Unilateral sacral neuromodulation (SNM) has emerged as a valuable treatment for patient with low urinary tract dysfunction when failure or bad tolerance to anticholinergic treatment for overactive bladder. However, in the medium or long term, some patients failed to benefit from unilateral stimulation (unilateral neuromodulation). A contralateral stimulation could be tested then implanted to restore the efficacy. An other option is to perform a bilateral stimulation of the sacral nerves that could lead to a summation effects better than unilateral stimulation. Therefore, if a unilateral sacral nerve stimulation fails, a contralateral or a bilateral test should be considered.
Bladder carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the urinary tract. Approximately 75-85% of patients with bladder cancer present with a disease that is confined to the mucosa or submucosa. These categories are grouped as non-muscle-invasive bladder tumors(i.e. superficial tumors). Bladder cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the United States, with an estimated 67,160 newly diagnosed cases and 13,750 deaths in the United States in 2007. The 5-year survival rate is 82% for all stages combined. The standard of treatment for patients with superficial bladder cancer is surgical transurethal resection (TUR) of tumors, with an 80% early success rate. However, nearly 70% of these patients will develop tumor recurrence, with 25% showing progression to muscle-invading disease, within 5 years with TUR. It is therefore necessary to consider adjuvant therapy in all patients. The absolute risks of recurrence and progression do not always indicate the risk at which a certain therapy is optimal. The choice of therapy may be considered differently according to what risk is acceptable for the individual patient and the urologist. Intravesical chemotherapy and immunotherapy are widely used as adjuvant therapies after TUR, to prevent recurrence and progression of superficial disease. Systemic therapy is typically reserved for higher stage, muscle-invading, or metastatic diseases. The urinary bladder is an ideal organ for regional therapy. The urethra provides easy access of therapeutic agents to the urinary bladder. The presence of the specialized asymmetric unit membrane on the urothelium serves as a barrier and limits the absorption of molecules or particulates into the systemic circulation. The rationale for intravesical therapy is to maximize the exposure of tumors located in the bladder cavity to therapeutics agents while limiting the systemic exposure and thereby limiting the host toxicities; the primary goal is to eradicate existing or residual tumors through direct cytoablation or immunostimulation. The unique properties of the urinary bladder render it a fertile ground for evaluating novel approaches to regional therapy, including local hyperthermia, co-administration of permeation enhancers, bioadhesive carriers, and gene therapy. One of the developing treatments for high-risk superficial bladder cancers is the combination of intravesical chemotherapy and hyperthermia (HT), called chemohyperthermia (C-HT). The most common form of C-HT uses the Synergo HT system, in which local HT is administered via direct microwave irradiation of the urothelium by means of a 915-MHz intravesical microwave applicator. The target intravesical temperature is set between 41.8C and 44.8C and is measured by five thermocouples integrated in a 20-F treatment catheter. To avoid injury, the urethra is continuously cooled. Due to extensive global experience with its use and a significant amount of preclinical data demonstrating improved antineoplastic efficacy when heated, mitomycin C (MMC) is the most common intravesical chemotherapy agent used in conjunction with HT. The most common adverse events during treatment were bladder spasms and bladder pain. Literature reports bladder spasms in 21.6% of patients, and bladder pain in 17.5%. Bladder spasms tended to occur more frequently with the prophylactic schedule, whereas pain was present equally in the prophylactic and ablative schedules but more commonly after the ablative schedule. In the first days following C-HT, storage LUTS (frequency, dysuria, urgency, nocturia) (25.6%) and hematuria (6.0%) are the most common adverse events. Most studies mention that these symptoms were mild and transient, resolving spontaneously within a few days of treatment. One study described severe cystitis complaints in three patients (16%), but other studies have not confirmed these adverse events. Two studies report the development of a contracted bladder and severe urinary incontinence after ablative C-HT. However, the possibility cannot be excluded that previous transurethral resection and intravesical chemotherapy might have contributed to this event. Following the appearance of bothersome storage LUTS, patient should be managed by existing guidelines. Based on AUA/SUFU Diagnosis and Treatment of Overactive Bladder (Non-Neurogenic) in Adults Guidelines published in 2012 patients should be diagnosed, followed and treated according to the suggested algorithm. In our study, we would like to assess the severity of OAB symptoms and their response to a standard OAB treatment according to AUA Guidelines for Non-neurogenic OAB as well as to assess urodynamic study variables in those who didn't respond to a standard medical treatment and bothered by their OAB symptoms.
This is a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX®) compared with placebo, in achieving a 100% reduction in urinary incontinence in patients with overactive bladder (OAB) not properly managed with an anticholinergic.
