Filter by:The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate and compare the effects of electrostimulation in addition to pelvic floor muscle training and pelvic floor muscle training alone on pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function, urinary incontinence and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence. The main questions are: What is the effect of electrostimulation combined with pelvic floor muscle training on pelvic floor muscle function, symptoms of urinary incontinence and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence? What is the effect of pelvic floor muscle training program on pelvic floor muscle function, symptoms of urinary incontinence and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence? Which intervention is more effective - electrostimulation with pelvic floor muscle training or pelvic floor muscle training alone? Participants will be evaluated before and after the interventions with the following methods: International Incontinence Counseling Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF) Pelvic floor muscle strength and endurance will be assessed with a "Pelvexiser" perineometer.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine if removal of transurethral urinary catheters by patients at home is as safe as catheter removal in the office following urogynecologic surgery. Participants will be randomized to either standard catheter removal in the office or catheter self-removal at home.
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of a Urogynecology Social Media Navigation Aid Kit (SNAK) and routine counseling in the treatment of women with newly diagnosed urinary incontinence. The study will conduct a randomized controlled trial on treatment-naïve patients seeking care for urinary incontinence. The research will have five aims: 1. evaluate the impact of SNAK on patients' self-efficacy in managing urinary incontinence symptoms 2. compare patient satisfaction with urinary incontinence treatment between SNAK and routine counseling groups 3. assess the impact of SNAK on urinary incontinence severity 4. evaluate the impact of SNAK on patients' quality of life 5. examine if there is an impact of SNAK on patients' treatment decision. Participants will be randomized to routine counseling alone versus routine counseling plus a SNAK. They will be given a baseline survey at their initial enrollment to the study. The investigators will follow up at a 3-month interval where they will be given a post-intervention survey.
Urinary incontinence (UI) is more common than any other chronic disease. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI), among the various forms of urinary incontinence, is the most prevalent (50%) type of this condition. Female urinary continence is maintained through an integrated function of pelvic floor muscles (PFMs), fascial structures, nerves, supporting ligaments, and the vagina. In women with SUI, the postural activity of the PFMs is delayed, and the balance ability is decreased. Many women, by learning the correct timing of a pelvic floor contraction during a cough, are able to eliminate consequent SUI. Timing is an important function of motor coordination and could be affected by proprioception. We aim to assess stress urinary incontinence in obese and non-obese Nulligravid females.
The goal of this pilot study is to report the safety and efficacy of a suture-suspended mesh-reduced sling for treating stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - investigate the efficacy of this mesh-reduced suture-based surgical technique for improving SUI symptoms - investigate the efficacy of this mesh-reduced suture-based surgical technique on key urethral support defects observed with 3D ultrasound Participants will consent to participate following which they will complete pre-operative assessments according to our routine clinical pathway. The participant will then undergo surgery and will be followed up to 12 months post-operatively via symptom assessment and pelvic exam.
Prospective multicenter study designed to test the feasibility of the UroMems Artificial Urinary Sphincter in women
This study aims to investigate the effect of electrical stimulation of the dorsal genital nerve on the urethral pressure in healthy women.
The study is a cohort study. Between 2005 and 2008, a total of 54 patients were examined with ultrasound before and after TOT surgery. The collected data has not been previously published. Now these same patients are to be examined again with a more advanced ultrasound device. The subjects underwent a urogynecological ultrasound examination before surgery and during the follow-up examination 2-3 months after the procedure. In connection with the follow-up examination, the success of the procedure and the satisfaction of the patients have been evaluated. The data was collected between 2005 and 2008, and the purpose is to invite the patients in question to a research visit, so that the long-term effect of the procedure can be evaluated and the position of the band can be determined with a newer technology ultrasound device. The patients' subjective satisfaction with the procedure is assessed using questionnaires.
When participants present with symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the investigators will perform a comprehensive evaluation and initially provide conservative treatment. If conservative treatment fails, invasive treatment will be considered. The investigators will arrange a pelvic muscle training course two to three times a week for a duration of 1.5 months per course. However, participants may complain about the inconvenience of traffic, which may lead to discontinuation of the pelvic training course. Therefore, the investigators propose the development of a home-based pelvic muscle training device and will collaborate with information engineering specialists at Tamkang University to invent the device for home-based pelvic muscle training.
The goal of this clinical study is to compare the effects of combined electroacupuncture with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) versus PFMT alone in the treatment of involuntary urine leakage following prostate removal procedure due to prostate cancer. The main question it aims to answer is that whether adding electroacupuncture to PFMT provides extra benefits in relieve urinary leakage and improves patients' quality of life. All participants will be required to perform daily PFMT for 6 weeks using uniformed standards. During the meantime, those assigned to the experimental group will additionally receive electroacupuncture three times per week for 6 weeks, while those in control group will receive sham treatment with same duration. Researchers will compare the urine leakage severity between the two groups to see if adding electroacupuncture can facilitate the recovery of symptom.
