Filter by: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 purpose of this study is to study is to see if intra-operative urethral length measurement with the Foley catheter will improve the placement of a synthetic sling in the mid-urethra.
This is a prospective, post-market, single arm, multicenter study comparing Baseline data to the 12 month and 36 month data in 136 female patients with Stress Urinary Incontinence
The recommended treatment for urinary incontinence (UI) in women is individualised pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training, a costly and resource-intense approach; one Canada is currently unable to meet. This non-inferiority randomized control trial seeks to determine if group-based PFM training is as effective as individualised PFM training for treating UI in women 65 and over, and to establish the cost-effectiveness of both. Demonstrating that group-based treatment is at least as good as individualised one-on-one treatment and more cost-effective would warrant including group-based PFM training as a first-line UI treatment.
The aim of this study is to assess the benefit of GYNEFFIK®, a perineal electro-stimulator, during this home-care phase. Women with stress urinary incontinence (UI) or with mixed UI (composed predominantly of stress UI), that responded to physiotherapy were included in this study in two parallel groups. The groups followed a self-reeducation program, with or without GYNEFFIK® electro-stimulation sessions. The comparison of the two groups was based on the rate of women for whom the benefit of the initial perineal reeducation was maintained.
Objective: The primary objective of the study is the comparison of protein concentrations between patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and healthy controls. Aim: This pilot study aims to determine a possible altered protein profile in women suffering from SUI, compared to healthy women and therefore to discriminate a potential protein biomarker for SUI. Main outcome measure: mass spectrometric measuring of urinary proteomic secretome in diseased and healthy subjects (sequence coverage and number of identified proteins) Trial design: Prospective case- control study Setting: Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the Medical University of Vienna in co- operation with the Core Facilities Proteomics of the Medical University of Vienna Population: Twenty female patients with SUI and twenty healthy patients who attend the outpatient clinic of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Medical University of Vienna (sample size calculation FDR 0.05, power of 80%, assumed proportion of true H0 0.95, assumed standardized effect size of 1) Methods: Examinations to be carried out: patient history, provocative stress test, ICIQ short form questionnaire, residual urine volume (ultrasound) and urine analysis (dipstick testing). A urine sample is obtained from the patient after spontaneous micturition, to which protease inhibitor will be added immediately. Two serum blood vials (each 9ml) are taken from a peripheral vein of the patient for routine laboratory and further research. Proteomics analysis will be performed using chromatographic separation (LC) with mass spectrometric detection (MS).
This three-site randomized controlled trial compares the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a group-administered behavioral treatment program to no treatment. Women with stress, urgency, or mixed urinary incontinence will be recruited and screened centrally, evaluated clinically at each of three study sites, and random assigned to one of two treatment arms: 1. Group behavioral treatment or 2. No treatment. Group treatment modalities have the potential to reach a larger population of older women with urinary incontinence, not only in the traditional medical settings, but also in community settings. The investigators hypothesize that group behavioral treatment will be more effective than no treatment. The investigators hypothesize that the group treatment will be cost-effective compared to no treatment.
This study was designed to evaluate urinary function before and one year after single incision sling placement at the time of robotic sacrocolpopexy. The thought is that the more minimally-invasive, single incision sling would provide a similar subjective success rates as those of retropubic and trans-obturator slings.
The overarching goal of this randomized trial is to estimate the effect of combined midurethral sling (MUS) and peri-operative behavioral/pelvic floor therapy (BPTx) compared to MUS alone on successful treatment of MUI symptoms in 472 women. Secondary objectives include estimating the effect of combined treatment compared to MUS on improving overactive bladder (OAB) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) outcomes separately, need for additional treatment, time to failure and identifying predictors of poor outcomes in this MUI population. A supplemental study, The Human Microbiome Study of ESTEEM, will evaluate the urinary and vaginal microbiome as it relates to women with MUI, their treatment and unaffected controls.
INTRODUCTION: Stress urinary incontinence is a common condition in women and can be defined as the involuntary loss of urine on exertion, exercise, sneezing or coughing. This pathology causes physical discomfort and impacts the quality of life in a negative manner. Physiotherapeutic exercises is a treatment with low cost and high patient attendance. It can be applied with focus on strengthening the pelvic floor muscles or on muscular synergism. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of Kegel exercises performed alone or performed in association with the strengthening of the muscles of the hip in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. METHODOLOGY: The study is a randomized, blinded clinical trial. It aims at assessing objectively the strength of the pelvic floor, the improvement in the number of episodes of loss and impact on quality of life. The study will accept up to 40 women, who will be divided into two groups of physical therapy: group 1 (that will strengthen the pelvic floor muscles with Kegel exercises) and group 2 (that will perform strengthening the pelvic floor muscles with Kegel exercises associated with the strengthening of muscles of the hip). The two groups will be evaluated at the beginning and at the end of treatment.
