Filter by:1. To evaluate whether a standardized tension-free vaginal tape-obturator(TVT-O) procedure, when added to a planned improved reconstruction pelvic surgery, improves the rate of urinary stress continence in subjects with occult stress incontinence. 2. Observe the immediate and short-term complications, overall urinary tract function, and other aspects of pelvic health between subjects with and without a TVT-O procedure.
This is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial of posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) plus extended release oxybutynin versus PTNS alone (placebo pills) in women undergoing treatment of urgency urinary incontinence (UUI). The investigators hypothesize that combination therapy with PTNS and anticholinergic medication will result in a significant incremental improvement in UUI symptoms over that achieved with PTNS alone. In addition, the investigators hypothesize that the addition of anticholinergics to PTNS will result in a greater improvement in patients' perception of treatment response, symptom distress, and quality of life than PTNS alone. Specific Aim 1: To compare the change, from baseline, in mean number of UUI episodes per day using a 3-day bladder diary between PTNS plus anticholinergic medication versus PTNS plus placebo in women undergoing treatment for UUI. Specific Aim 2: To compare the change, from baseline, in a 24hr pad weight between PTNS plus anticholinergic medication versus PTNS plus placebo. Specific Aim 3: To compare subjective treatment response, symptoms distress, and quality of life between PTNS plus anticholinergic medication versus PTNS plus placebo utilizing the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) and the Overactive Bladder Questionnaire Short Form (OABq-SF). An interim analysis will be conducted by an independent entity after 50 participants have completed the study protocol. A Data Safety Monitoring Board is not utilized because the study utilizes FDA approved treatments for urgency urinary incontinence.
Overactive bladder (OAB) is an enigmatic condition that is treated symptomatically with anticholinergic drugs (gold standard 2013). In a clinical pilot study was found to be a trend for a higher reduction of the micturition frequency in the Bryophyllum pinnatum group - treated with chewing tablets containing 50% of dried BP leaf press juice - than in the placebo group (n=20, p=0.064) Hypothesis: To test the superior effectivity of Bryophyllum versus Placebo in the treatment of OAB with the needed number (Purpose 1) and to assess in an experimental arm the side effects of BP in comparison to the standard drug (Vesicare) in a clincial trial (Purpose 2).
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 is an ethically approved randomised controlled study looking at whether Cystodistension(filling the bladder with fluid under pressure) provides any benefit over cystoscopy alone (looking in the bladder) in women with refractory overactive bladder. Urine samples will also be assessed for underlying infected cause of OAB using urinalysis, microscopy and culture and cytokine assays (In collaboration with the University of Kent). We hypothesize that Cystodistension has a therapeutic benefit to women with refractory OAB and the there is an increase prevalence in chronic urinary infections with raised cytokines in women with refractory OAB.
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.
The study will assess the effects of different InterStim cycling settings on urinary urge incontinence.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether transcutaneous sacral nerve stimulation (TENS SNS) versus percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) is a more effective therapeutic option for subjects with idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB) who have failed conventional therapy. Our primary hypothesis is that TENS therapy is a more effective treatment option due to ease of use and improved subject compliance with this form of therapy.
This study is randomized controlled trial in which urgency incontinent women (approximately 150-160) will be randomized to hypnotherapy or pharmacotherapy and evaluated at months 2, 6 &12 Hypotheses: Among patients with urgency urinary incontinence (UUI), hypnotherapy will be non-inferior pharmacotherapy in diminishing UUI episodes. Hypnotherapy may be superior or may not differ from pharmacotherapy in diminishing symptoms or quality of life based on validated questionnaires and/or other diary parameters.
Urge urinary incontinence, characterized by unpredictable and embarrassing large volume urine leakage, is a major health issue for elderly women, as it is incredibly common and significantly impairs quality of life. Although anticholinergic medications are the most common therapy, the investigators are unable to predict an individual's response to a particular drug in terms of both effectiveness and side effects. Through genetic evaluation, the investigators have the potential to personalize and optimize drug therapy for millions of elderly women suffering from urge incontinence.
