Filter by:Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common, chronic condition, characterized by urinary "urgency, with or without urge incontinence, usually with frequency and nocturia." Treatment adherence is a major barrier to management of OAB and drug continuation is poor. Many factors may play a role in non-adherence to medication management of OAB including drug cost, side effects, and a lack of understanding of the disease and treatment process.Studies show that recall of disease information and treatment is often suboptimal. Literature shows that providing written materials is an efficacious way to aid in recall. Based on known poor adherence to OAB medication treatment and the clear role patient education methods have on patient information recall, the investigators believe that improvement of participant education through use of a OAB care plan will improve participant understanding and treatment adherence. Through this randomized trial, the investigators plan to evaluate whether implementation of a OAB Care Plan improves understanding of disease and treatment options, treatment success, and satisfaction. This is a prospective, randomized, controlled study of OAB counseling in new patients presenting to the Urogynecology offices of Hartford Hospital. All new patients with a diagnosis of OAB will be offered participation. All consenting participants will be randomized 1:1 to one of two groups: 1) Standard Care group or 2) Care Plan group. In the Standard Care group, participants will be counseled as the physician routinely counsels patients about OAB, in the Care Plan group, participants will be counseled a printed "Overactive Bladder Plan of Care" information sheet. At the end of the visit, the participant will complete a Baseline Survey. The Baseline Survey includes basic demographic information, a physician satisfaction survey, and a OAB knowledge survey. The participant will return for follow up as directed by the physician. At the follow up visit, participants in both groups will complete a Followup Survey. The Followup Survey will be completed before the participant sees the physician. The Followup Survey assesses OAB knowledge. Eight months after the baseline visit, each participant's chart will be reviewed for final data collection. If a participant progresses to a treatment method where she is satisfied and would like to remain, this will be documented.
The objective of this pilot study is to assess whether Myrbetriq™ will improve post-operative ureteral pain and discomfort, reduce bladder storage symptoms and increase quality of life following ureteral stenting.
Phase I/II study to assess the safety and performance of the Amphora OAB system for treatment of urgency and frequency with or without urge incontinence caused by an overactive bladder.
Parkinson's disease (PD) causes several non-motor autonomic symptoms including lower urinary tract dysfunction. Their symptoms can be managed with antimuscarinics with variable efficacy. Fesoterodine offers a new therapeutic molecule to target the symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency and nocturia in this patient population. The purpose of this protocol is to compare the impact of fesoterodine to placebo on urinary urgency and nocturnal sleep problems in a heterogeneous population of PD patients in a cross-over fashion. A representative number of patients with baseline overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms and Parkinson's disease will be recruited to receive either the active drug or placebo for the first phase of eight weeks. The groups will then be crossed-over during the second phase of eight weeks. The main outcomes assessed will be the urgency episodes on a 3-day voiding diary, as well as the nocturnal sleep problems will be the Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale (PDSS).
This is a single arm pilot study evaluating the feasibility and preliminary safety of a single intravesical instillation of TC-3 gel mixed with botulinum toxin (BTX) for symptomatic improvement in overactive bladder patients.
Overactive bladder (OAB) is an enigmatic condition that is treated symptomatically with anticholinergic drugs (gold standard 2013). In a clinical pilot study was found to be a trend for a higher reduction of the micturition frequency in the Bryophyllum pinnatum group - treated with chewing tablets containing 50% of dried BP leaf press juice - than in the placebo group (n=20, p=0.064) Hypothesis: To test the superior effectivity of Bryophyllum versus Placebo in the treatment of OAB with the needed number (Purpose 1) and to assess in an experimental arm the side effects of BP in comparison to the standard drug (Vesicare) in a clincial trial (Purpose 2).
This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, multiple-dose study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BOTOX in adolescents with urinary incontinence due to overactive bladder (OAB) with inadequate management with anticholinergic therapy. Participants were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive a single Tx of 25 U, 50 U, or 100 U BOTOX (not to exceed 6 U/kg) on Day 1, were seen after each treatment at Weeks 2, 6, and 12 post-treatment, and thereafter at alternating telephone and clinic visits every 6 weeks until they qualified for further retreatment/exited the study. Participants could receive multiple treatments dependent upon the number and timing of patient requests/qualification for retreatment. At each retreatment the investigator could keep the dose the same or increase it one dose level in a blinded fashion. Participants exited the study once 96 weeks have elapsed since entry on Day 1 and at least 12 weeks follow-up since their last study treatment had occurred.
We aim to evaluate whether the addition of Omega-3 fatty acids to oxybutynin, a standard first-line treatment for overactive bladder syndrome, will improve symptoms and quality of life. Secondarily, we will evaluate whether Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce the adverse effects of oxybutynin. Hypothesis - Primary: Omega-3 will enhance the beneficial role of oxybutynin in the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) - Secondary: Omega-3 will reduce the side effects of dry eyes and constipation associated with oxybutynin
The purpose of this study is to determine if electrical stimulation of the foot is effective in the treatment of overactive bladder conditions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects and tolerability (how well a participant can stand a particular medicine or treatment) of flexible dose Oxybutynin Extended-Release (OXY-ER, Lyrinel) including safety and quality of life assessment in participants with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO - the nerves mediating the detrusor muscle do not work properly leading to frequent feeling of need to urinate during the day, night, or both).
