Filter by:A protocol of pelvic floor muscles training (PFMT) in elite athletes was applied. They will do it for 4 months. Then re-evaluated.
The main objective is to analyze the relationship between the PF muscles and the other variables along the different tasks of daily life and during the race.
Boston2018 post-market clinical study is a prospective, randomized, non-inferiority study to assess the efficacy and adverse events of the Solyx™ Single Incision Sling (SIS) System compared to the gold-standard Obtryx™ II Sling System, in patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and long-term follow-up (5 years).
Stress urinary incontinence affects millions of women worldwide and has a profound impact on the quality of life of older individuals, their subjective health status, levels of depression and need for care. Midurethral sling placement was introduced in 1995 and remains the current gold standard for surgical management of SUI. Although the advantages of midurethral sling surgery include its high success and minimally invasive approach, approximately 10-50% of women experience acute postoperative urinary retention and are subsequently sent home with an indwelling foley catheter or clean intermittent self catheterization. Urinary retention is anxiety provoking for most patients and adds morbidity, cost, and increased utilization of healthcare resources. Additionally, catheterization of the urinary tract results in increased risk of urinary tract infection and potential need for antibiotics. Several recent studies have reported varying rates of postoperative voiding trial success depending on the type of local anesthetic used for hydrodissection; however the data is sparse and invites a more thorough investigation. Furthermore, to the investigators knowledge, no studies have systematically explored dosage or type of agent used intraoperatively on postoperative voiding function. Based on the preliminary data, the investigators hypothesize that patients receiving normal saline compared to a local anesthetic (e.g., lidocaine) will have a reduction in duration of postoperative urinary retention following retropubic midurethral sling placement.
The patients diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence and included in the study. According to randomisation plan one group will be instructed by a physiotherapist to perform pelvic flor exercises and the other group will be instructed by the same physiotherapist to perform dynamic lumbopelvic stabilisation exercises.Throughout the study, the women will be followed up to ensure the exercises are performed. The exercises will be applied for approximately 30 mins once a day for a period of 10 weeks.
This is an open label, prospective study aimed to evaluate safety and efficacy of the Silk'n Tightra device for improvement of sexual functioning, vulvovaginal appearance and reduction of SUI.
Surgical preparedness improves patient satisfaction and perioperative outcomes. In urogynecology, interventions to increase preoperative patient preparedness have not been adequately studied. Our objective is to evaluate the ability of preoperative provider-initiated telephone calls to increase patient preparedness for surgery. The investigators will conduct a randomized control trial comparing surgical preparedness between provider-initiated telephone call three days before surgery plus usual preoperative counseling versus usual preoperative counseling alone among women planning to undergo pelvic reconstructive surgery as measured by the Preoperative Patient Questionnaire (PPQ) and the Modified Preparedness for Colorectal Cancer Surgery Questionnaire (Modified PCSQ). Surgical satisfaction, perioperative outcomes, and medical costs will be also be compared between the two groups. Our hypothesis is that preoperative telephone calls will result in improved surgical preparedness. This novel approach in preoperative counseling has the potential to positively impact perioperative patient care. The investigators will also conduct an ancillary qualitative study of sexually active women undergoing pelvic reconstructive surgery who are enrolled in the randomized control trial. This work will aim to describe the patient experience, concerns, and the quality of the first sexual encounter following surgery. This ancillary study will lay the foundation for future investigations into how to better counsel patients and discuss sexual activity after surgical repair.
Urodynamic testing is used to help diagnose causes of urinary incontinence and voiding dysfunction. The purpose of the urodynamic test is to gain insight into the patient's urinary symptoms and assist in making a diagnosis. Catheter insertion and manipulation during the test can be uncomfortable for the patient. Lidocaine gel has not been used routinely during urodynamic testing. However, it is used routinely during outpatient cystoscopy and with any urethral catheterization. The investigators proposed that lidocaine numbing gel could be used without compromising test findings. The study included 110 adult women. The purpose was: 1. Determine whether the use of topical lidocaine during urodynamic testing decreases patient discomfort during the procedure. 2. Evaluate whether the use of topical lidocaine affects the urodynamic results.
The purpose of this prospective study is to examine the safety and efficacy of high intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology for the treatment of women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), urge incontinence (UI) and mixed stress urinary and urge incontinence (MUI), looking at any potential sexual health benefits that may be concomitantly achieved from this treatment.
