Postoperative restrictions are often based on expert opinion and "common sense". There is a wide variety in the recommended activity limitation amongst pelvic floor surgeons. Many patients undergo urogynecologic procedures to improve their quality of life, and these additional restrictions decrease their quality of life in the short term. Our hypothesis is that unrestricted activity after a mid-urethral sling will not negatively impact a patient's recovery or likelihood of surgical success. Eligible participants will be randomized to no postoperative instructions or traditional postoperative instructions. Patients will be followed up at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 6 months postoperatively. Data will be collected throughout the follow up period, but the primary endpoint is at 6 months. At the 6 month visit, subjects' activity level, leakage symptoms, and postoperative satisfaction will be assessed.
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the most common form of urinary incontinence in women. It affects women in their quality of life : physical, social, sexual and psychological levels. International recommendations suggest conservative treatments as first-line by training the pelvic floor muscles with or without a biofeedback-type control system. The latter allows the patient to visualize her muscle activity while stimulating her motivation. The part of adherence and compliance is very important in this rehabilitation where the woman must provide a significant commitment to continue the exercises beyond the support of the physiotherapist. In this area, a new approach is emerging with the arrival of health applications on smartphones. However, these tools lack scientific validation. The objective of this mixed pilot study (randomized controlled study with a qualitative part) is to investigate a new treatment for middle-aged to advanced patients outside the period of peripartum suffering from SUI, through an application mobile with probe as home program in standard physiotherapist treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAS-303 in female patients with stress urinary incontinence.
A virtual prospective randomized controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of using the leva® Pelvic Digital Health System (PDHS) to perform PFMT compared to a standard home exercise home program for the treatment of SUI/SMUI. The treatment part of the study lasts eight weeks and has two arms. One group will receive routine care consisting of at-home Kegel exercises, and the other will be provided with a leva® device and instructions for use. Subjects in both groups will be assessed at baseline, then at 4 and 8 weeks for change and improvement of their symptoms. They will also be assessed at 6 and12 months after study completion.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence of short-term urinary retention and the cure rate in patients with stress urinary incontinence undergoing surgical treatment with fascial pubovaginal sling with two tension adjustment techniques: the classic adjustment technique ("2 fingers") and measuring the distance between the fixation knot and the aponeurosis of 4 cm.
JUSTIFICATION: Urinary incontinence is highly prevalent among women who play high impact sports such as running. that observed one of the possible reasons for this high prevalence is delayed activation of the pelvic floor in relation to the abdominal muscles. The use of minimalist shoes during the race produces changes in muscle and joint biomechanics and efficiency in the race. However, to date no studies evaluating the influence of footwear in the musculature of the pelvic floor during the race. OBJECTIVE: Describe and compare the electromyographic activity of the muscles of the pelvic floor and abdominal during the race with conventional shoes and minimalist. DESIGN: cross-over study experimental, analytical and prospective. METHODOLOGY: conventional and minimalist: 50 healthy young women, 6- randomly distributed in two groups will be included to characterise the electromyographic activity of the pelvic floor muscles before and during running at 6-9-11 km/h with the two types of running shoes. A baseline assessment will be performed to confirm that the women meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The ability to run a 10-minute treadmill at a speed of 6-9-11 km/h will be assessed, as well as the ability to adequately contract the pelvic floor muscles. The group of 50 women will initially run randomly with conventional running shoes or with minimalist running shoes, and then, after a 10-minute washout period, will run with the other type of running shoe, i.e. if a participant in the first phase used conventional running shoes, she will run with a minimalist running shoe in the second phase. The cadence of step, the range of movement of the femur and the EMG recording with electromyographic sensors of the pelvic floor musculature (using an intravaginal probe of the germproof brand), abdominal (internal and external oblique), spinal erectors and gluteus (using a surface sensor) in relation to the cycling gait will be collected and recorded with barographic sensors. The variables to be included in the electromyography for each muscle in relation to the gait cycle will be: onset of activation, duration, intensity and synergy with their corresponding standard deviation.

The ongoing opioid epidemic has altered both how physicians prescribe narcotics and patients' perceptions of those prescriptions. Along with increased scrutiny regarding the quantity of opioids that be may prescribed after acute injury, for chronic conditions and following surgery the healthcare industry as a whole continues to search for alternative medications that provide adequate pain relief and have a reduced tendency for abuse/dependence/addition. To that end this study has the following aims: 1. To evaluate the amount of opioids consumed following minimally invasive, female pelvic surgery when patients' postoperative pain is managed via: 1. Acetaminophen plus Ibuprofen plus breakthrough pain opioids (Standard protocol) 2. Acetaminophen plus Intranasal Ketorolac Tromethamine plus opioids for breakthrough pain (Sprix protocol) 2. Patient satisfaction with the aforementioned methods 3. Evaluate and compare pain scores via validated questionnaire Hypothesis: Primary: 1. Patients prescribed intranasal Ketorolac (Sprix protocol) will consume significantly less Morphine Milliequivalents (mEqs) of narcotics compared to the standard protocol following minimally invasive female pelvic surgery. Secondary: 1. Patients in the Sprix protocol will have lower Visual Analog Scale (VAS) measures of pain which will be measured on a 0-10 scale where 0 denotes no pain and 10 denotes maximum experience of pain 2. Patients in the Sprix protocol will have lower numeric pain score and on POD#4 3. Patients in the Sprix protocol will have higher Quality of Recovery 40 (QoR-40 )scores on POD#1 4. Patients in the Sprix protocol will have higher QoR-40 scores on POD#4 5. Patients will not have any significant difference in overall surgical satisfaction on POD#1 and POD#4 using a numerical satisfaction score 6. Patients in the Sprix protocol will be more likely to consume no narcotics at all once discharged to home
Purpose Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7 (IIQ-7) and The International Consultation on Incontinence (ICIQ-SF) Short Form are used to diagnose individuals with urinary incontinence (UI) and to assess the impact of the dysfunction on patient quality of life. While ICIQ-SF has fixed cutoff values - UDI-6 and IIQ-7 do not. We aimed to find the cutoff scores for UDI-6 and IIQ-7 in women with UI. Methods The study involved 205 women aged between 31 and 83 years - 155 with, and 50 without UI symptoms. All participants completed all three questionnaires: ICIQ-SF, UDI-6 and IIQ-7. Patients were categorized according to their ICIQ-SF scores, as symptomatic ICIQ-SF ≥6 (n=134) and asymptomatic ICIQ < 6 (n=60). The Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve was used to test how well UDI-6 allowed a discrimination between patients suffering from UI and those who do not. AUC (Area under Curve) statistic was calculated to measure the UDI-6 and IIQ-7 Total Score efficiency.
