Filter by:The purpose of this randomized control trial study is to determine if intraoperative bladder instillation of fluid decreases the time to discharge after having an outpatient mid-urethral sling procedure, and to measure the cost savings of this decrease in hospital stay. Charges will be broken down between recovery room charges and discharge area, as recovery room charges are significantly higher. The investigators suspect that a shorter time in the recovery room will translate into fewer charges.
The aim of this study was to identify the serial changes in lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), urine flow and bladder voiding efficiency after transobturator tape (TOT) surgery for treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.
The aim of this study is to estimate the amount of extra urine produced by natural diuresis during 20-minute pad test, and assess the effect of diuresis on the accuracy of using 20-minute pad test to estimate the severity of SUI. Besides, the above results may be used for further refinement of the amount of water infusion used for the 20-minute pad test.
To evaluate the treatment safety and efficacy of Regen Sling developed by medprin Regenerative Medical Technologies Co., Ltd. for female patients with stress urinary incontinence
This research is primarily to compare effectiveness of electroacupuncture and pelvic floor muscle training for SUI, and evaluate optimal efficiency of electroacupuncture for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The early clinical research is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a small sample,consisting of two arms of electroacupuncture group and sham electroacupuncture group to value difference of extent of SUI in 1h pad test after 4 weeks. The result indicates that electroacupuncture is an optimal method for SUI. As a further study, this research is a large sample multicenter trial with two parallel arms of electroacupuncture group and pelvic floor muscle training group. The primary purpose is to value effectiveness of electroacupuncture for SUI in aspect of frequency of leakage and amount of leakage, comparing with pelvic floor muscle training. And the secondary purpose is to evaluate safety of electroacupuncture therapy, and compare acceptance of electroacupuncture treatment and pelvic floor muscle training.
The study is designed to assess efficacy and subject satisfaction of two sling devices: Advance and Argus, in male patients with stress urinary incontinence after prostatectomy.
Evaluate the feasability and security of the autologous ASC for the femenine stress urinary incontinence
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is defined as the involuntary loss of urine with an increase in abdominal pressure, caused either by a loss of support under the bladder neck, or intrinsic urethral sphincter deficiency. It is a common problem in women that can significantly impact quality of life, with up to 30% developing SUI at some point in their lifetime. The most commonly utilized treatments for SUI include either pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises, or surgery. Many women find Kegel exercises unsatisfactory, but are reluctant to undergo a surgical procedure. Also, women who are poor candidates for surgery have limited options if Kegel exercises are unsuccessful. Over the years, there have been numerous attempts to develop effective non-surgical alternatives for treating SUI, but the results have been variable and the available data on efficacy limited. A new intravaginal incontinence pessary (Uresta) has been developed for treating stress incontinence, and is currently available in Canada via a medical distributor. The self-positioning device is initially fitted by a healthcare provider, but then can subsequently placed by the patient as needed. Uresta is designed to be easily inserted into the vagina and spontaneously fall into position, providing support beneath the urethra. A single, uncontrolled study of 21 women showed that Uresta significantly reduces urinary incontinence measures, with no reported complications. Using questionnaires, a 47% reduction in self-reported SUI symptoms was demonstrated. Pad weight following a pad test, an objective assessment of urine loss, showed a 50% reduction in leakage. This trial is intended to be a short-term assessment of the efficacy of the Uresta device, using a placebo arm in order to remove any of the possible sources of patient biases. The placebo ("sham") group will be obtained by placing a flexible silastic ring (inactivated Estring) high in the vagina where it will not alter urethral forces. The aim is to unequivocally determine whether the Uresta device provides the necessary urethral support to stop urine leakage from stress incontinence. The hypothesis is that the Uresta device will significantly reduce urinary losses from baseline, shown as a significant reduction pad weight following a pad test with the device in place.
The aim is to find out if adreno-muscarinic synergy is present also in human tissues of the urinary outflow tract that have a dual adrenergic-muscarinic receptor fitting. To further characterise morphology and function of the suburothelial myofibroblast network in the human bladder outlet.
To test the value of preoperatively performed urodynamics with regard to outcome of surgery for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and to examine whether not performing urodynamics preoperatively is more cost effective than performing urodynamics preoperatively using the non-inferiority assumption.
