This study will be directed to determine the effectiveness of laser acupuncture(LA) and pelvic floor training (PFT) on stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in obese postmenopausal women. Forty obese postmenopausal women will be selected , suffering from mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence from mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence, their age ranges from 50-65 years old and the body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 ≤ 40 Kg/m2. then separate randomly into two equivalent gatherings. The study group (A) will receive laser acupuncture therapy and pelvic floor training for 30 min every other day for 12 sessions (3 times per week). While the control group (B) maintaining their ordinary medical treatment. All participants will be assessed the pelvic floor muscles strength by using Modified oxford grading scale and perineometer before starting intervention and at the end of the 12th session.
This clinical investigation is designed as an interventional, prospective, non-randomized, open-label, single arm, multicentric and international study for obtaining CE marking. The study will be the first performed with the ARTUS® medical device aiming to assess safety and performance and will be composed of three phases: - pilot phase (with safety analysis on the 10 first included subjects in 3 investigational sites), - pivotal phase (in up to 16 investigational sites with a follow-up until the 12-month post-device activation visit, including an interim analysis at 3-month post-device activation visit on performance and safety), - long-term phase (with a long-term follow-up until 10 years post implantation in up to 16 investigational sites). The objectives is to assess safety and clinical performance of the ARTUS® for the treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence at short and long-term.
To compare the laparoscopic Burch colposuspension with the midurethral slings (TVT, TOT) for treatment of female stress urinary incontinence as regard efficacy and safety.
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the defined as a leakage of urine with physical exertion, most commonly from coughing, laughing, or sneezing. It has a profound psychosocial impact not only to patients but also on their families and caregivers, resulting in loss of self stem, sexual dysfunction.Because of the higher incidence of stress urinary incontinence that reach 30% of women during childbearing period, 50% in elderly women, and its social embarrassing condition causing socio-psychological problems, disability and dependency with higher economic impact and based on TECAR therapy had better recovery of muscle strength and function in addition to there is no study has evaluated the impact of TECAR treatment on stress urinary incontinence, our study aim to assess the effectiveness of TECAR in treatment of such cases to decrease time of treatment and provide good results to patients.
The investigators intend to investigate the long-term complications and the subjective well-being among women who underwent insertion of a MUS due to stress urinary incontinence 2006-2010.
Urinary incontinence is defined by the International Continence Society as "any involuntary loss of urine complained by the patient". UI is a debilating condition affecting 25% to 45% of the female population. It is a recognized factor impairing the women's quality of life in women. Age, type and severity of UI as well as stress, fears and beliefs are variables that significantly affect the quality of life scores . Its costs are estimated at 2% of the health budget in European countries. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is characterized by a loss of urine that occurs with increased intra-abdominal pressure, such as coughing, laughing, sneezing, jumping, running, lifting loads or any other physical activity . SUI accounts for 50% of UI types. For HAS (Haute Autorité de Santé), the first-line treatment is a conservative, non-medicinal and non-surgical treatment. Hay Smith's 2010 literature review concludes that pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation (PMP) must be the first-line treatment for SUI. However, there is a lack of evidence to define the best treatment regimen for PFM rehabilitation. For 25 years, we have been performing assessment and rehabilitation programs for urinary incontinence. We see daily, as literature suggests, a link between continence and postural control. Previous studies, such as that we carried out within our service, tend to confirm the positive impact of reflex postural control on continence. Our team has already shown the feasibility of such a program and its effectiveness on stress urinary incontinence. Foam surfaces are devices used in the rehabilitation of reflex postural control. Several studies have shown that rehabilitation programs on foam surfaces improve reflex postural control better than the same exercises on stable ground. Smith et al. have shown impaired motor control of MPP on foam surfaces in women with stress urinary incontinence. However, the effect of a rehabilitation program with foam surface on urinary symptoms has never been evaluated. For our main outcome, we propose to follow the recommendations of L. Rimstad in his recent prospective study of SUI assessment in 147 subjects aged 36 to 63 years, wich seems more in accordance with postural control disorder than the "gold standard" supine cough test wich has been found to have low sensitivity. The test pad on a trampoline allows to object a SUI in 91% of the negative patients to the test pad on firm surface. It therefore makes it possible to object stress urinary incontinence without invasive urodynamic investigations. It therefore seems justified for the comfort of our patients and the relevance of our results. The preliminary assessments and the skills of the physiotherapist make it possible to assess the patient's ability to perform this test. Our experience of carrying out trampoline tests or exercises for 25 years, as of the Rimstad team in the context of the treatment of SUI for 10 years, allows us to carry out this test in good conditions of efficiency , comfort and safety. Thus, we hypothesize that a rehabilitation program by supervised reflex postural control exercises on a foam surface can reduce the volume of urinary leakage in women. This study will also show the influence of such a program on symptoms and quality of life in women with urinary incontinence. Innovative nature of our study We do not find in the literature any evaluation of the effectiveness of exercises on foam surface on stress urinary incontinence Our protocol, by its minimally invasive nature, would promote a better emotional experience for our patients Most studies in the context of incontinence are based on a semi-objective outcome assessment with symptoms questionnaire. We suggest using the short stress pad test, a more objective test for women, recommended by several authors We will observe the impact of our protocol on pelvic and low back pain, quality of life and any restrictions on social participations We hope to confirm the best acceptance of non-invasive treatments, without intravaginal probe in continence rehabilitation Our protocol goes in the direction of: - Literature reviews on urinary incontinence through supervised group sessions - WHO's recommendations on the maintenance of balance and physical functions, and also the prevention of falls in adults
Prevalence of pelvic organ prolapsed is high in Nepal. After prolapse surgery many patients are affected with incontinence. Incontinence has physical, social and mental effect to the individual. This study is designed to know the role for mid urethral sling during vaginal prolapse surgery to decrease the rate of incontinence after the surgery.
The bladder has a muscle that acts like a tap called the sphincter. Just like a tap, when pee is stored the sphincter muscle is closed and during peeing the sphincter opens. Sometimes the sphincter tap does not work properly and can cause problems. If the sphincter is weak there can be urine leak (incontinence). If the sphincter is too strong bladder might not empty properly. Children who require investigation of their urinary problems are usually assessed with non-invasive tests. Sometimes investigation is with a more invasive test videourodynamics or video cystometrogram (VCMG; this test requires the insertion of catheters into the bladder and rectum. This test provides only indirect information about sphincter function. It would be helpful to have a more direct test of the sphincter. It will allow better targeted treatments of sphincter problems which are often therapeutically challenging. Urethral pressure profile is a test used in adults to assess the sphincter. Although it has been described in children normal values have not been described. The research project is to define urethral pressure profile values in children and young people with normal, weak and overactive sphincters. Urethral pressure profile measurement is invasive as it requires the insertion of a special catheter. It will therefore be performed at the time of other invasive procedures eg VCMG or urology surgery under general anaesthetic. The study will be conducted at single site, which is a children's hospital. The study will be an observational case controlled study with three arms: controls, those with overactive sphincters and those with underactive sphincters. The study is intended to run over three years.
This is a confirmatory/bridging study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Autologous Muscle Derived Cells for Urinary Sphincter Repair (AMDC-USR) compared with placebo in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in adult Japanese female subjects. Half of the participants will receive AMDC-USR (injections with cells) and the other half will receive placebo.
