Filter by:Telerehabilitation (TR) refers to the provision of rehabilitation services through information and communication technologies. The most widely used of these technologies are applications such as telephone and video conferencing. Urinary incontinence is defined as involuntary urinary incontinence ). This condition, which affects both sexes, is more common in women. Urinary incontinence is caused by dysfunction in the bladder and pelvic floor muscles in women during menopause, childbirth, or pregnancy. Urinary incontinence is a health problem that significantly affects people's social interactions, interests, and psychosocial status. It has been shown that even mild incontinence complaints cause a decrease in the quality of life in women. Pelvic floor muscle training is one of the conservative treatment methods used in the treatment of urinary incontinence.Adding breathing exercises and deep abdominal muscle strengthening exercises to pelvic floor muscle training may be beneficial in patients with urinary incontinence. In patients with urinary incontinence, women who are in regular communication with the supervisor during pelvic floor muscle training are more likely to gain higher from the program. However, it has not been shown that group physiotherapy is less effective than physiotherapy administered individually in reducing incontinence episodes. In the light of this information in the literature, our research hypothesis is that in patients with urinary incontinence, follow-up the pelvic floor muscle training, breathing exercise, and core exercise training with individually video conference method can have positive effects on patients' muscle strength, incontinence degree, quality of life, patient satisfaction, exercise adherence, and sexual function.
Purpose: A lot of etiological factors related to overactive bladder (OAB) has been investigated. However, the role of primary nocturnal enuresis (NE), which is characterized with childhood night time incontinence, in the etiology of OAB is controversial. This study aims to evaluate the effect of NE in patients diagnosed with OAB. Metod Between january-september 2021, the data of patients who applied to the urology outpatientclinic with OAB symptoms were collected. Patients with a history of chronic systemic disease, previous medical treatment for OAB and who did not accept to join the study were excluded. According to the diagnosis of childhood NE, patients were divided into two groups. Demographic data hav been recorded. Frequency of incontinence, number of day time void and nocturia were evaluated according to a 3 day voiding diary. Inaddition, max. Urinary flowr atio (Qmax), bladder Wall thickness and postvoid residual volüme rates were determined using uroflowmetry and pelvic ultrasound.
Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as any involuntary loss of urine. It affects a significant percentage of the population, mainly female, with a prevalence of 21.4% in Portuguese women, having a negative impact on quality of life and sexual function. About half presents with stress UI (SUI), followed by mixed UI (MUI), with isolated urgency UI being less common. Pelvic floor rehabilitiation is a first line treatment for SUI and MUI, however, it is not yet defined which is the best treatment program or the ideal strategies to improve adherence to it. Telerehabilitation assumed a leading role in the covid pandemic phase, although there are few studies on pelvic floor rehabilitation for UI, none in Portugal to date. The authors aim to evaluate the effectiveness of a hybrid program of pelvic floor rehabilitation in female patients with SUI and MUI with a predominance of SUI, including consultation and face-to-face sessions complemented with telerehabilitation.
The study is intended to assess the safety and efficacy of Carbon dioxide AcuPulse laser treatment in patients with stress urinary incontinence. Eligible subjects will be randomized to either receive 3 laser or 3 sham treatment sessions, 4 weeks apart and 3 follow up visits 3, 6 and 12 months following the last treatment.
The present study is a clinical intervention applied to patients with urinary incontinence, with the intention of verifying the effects of the Pilates method associated or not with photobiomodulation with static magnetic field. The sample will consist of women with stress urinary incontinence from Bento Gonçalves attended at the school clinic of Faculdade Cenecista de Bento Gonçalves.
The purpose of the trial is to assess the effect of tadalafil compared to placebo (inactive comparator) on the urethral - and anal pressure and on urine flow in healthy females. Further, the purpose of the trial is to evaluate the potential for going forward with studies of tadalafil in patients suffering from urine or fecal incontinence.
Vulvovaginal atrophy is common after menopause, with a significant negative effect on quality of life. Large cohort studies have reported the prevalence of vaginal dryness to be between 27% and 55% and dyspareunia between 32% and 41%. Management of urogenital atrophy includes lifestyle modification, nonhormonal treatments (vaginal lubricants or moisturizers, laser treatments), as well as hormonal treatments. The disadvantages of the non-surgical methods are average results, discontinuation, and frequent contraindications to hormonal treatments.This has led to a strong interest in the development of non-invasive or minimally invasive methods that are easy to implement, effective and durable. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has been proposed as an alternative for the treatment of genitourinary menopausal syndrome (GMS) and stress urinary incontinence. PBMT devices exert their effect via non-thermal mechanisms. PBMT stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis in the vaginal tissue, to support the urethrovaginal sphincter and urethra, and to promote vasodilation in the vaginal and urethral submucosa. PHYSIOQUANTA has developed a vaginal probe coupled with its innovative MILTA™ process synergistically combining NPCL (Nano-Pulsed Cold Laser) laser emitters, infrared diodes and RGB (Red Green Blue) diodes, operating in a magnetic tunnel. The MILTA acts deeper than LEDs, due to the diffusion of photons in soft tissues. In this study, the study investigators aimed to evaluate the safety and performance of the MILTA™ GYNECO vaginal probe in a pilot study of first use in women. This clinical study on the MILTA vaginal probe is expected to result in its CE marking Class IIb DM.
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of PFMT added to EA vs PFMT added sham EA for SUI in women.
Pre-market feasibility clinical investigation designed to evaluate the clinical performance and safety of the investigational product in its intended target population
Electromagnetic stimulation is a new modality and alternative in women with urinary incontinence (UI). However, there was not much evidence that compares the use of electromagnetic stimulation to Kegel Exercises in post-partum stress urinary incontinence (SUI). We evaluate the compliance rate, effectiveness (UDI-6 and 1-hour pad test), and pelvic muscle strength of electromagnetic stimulation on stress urinary incontinence compared with Kegel pelvic floor muscle exercises in post-partum women as conservative therapy. This study was a single-blind randomized trial in postpartum women diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence who came to YPK Mandiri Hospital. We recruited 40 Patients and were randomized into two groups, the electromagnetic stimulation (n=20) and Kegel exercises (n=20). The electromagnetic stimulation procedure was done three times a week for five weeks, and the Kegel exercises group will be instructed to do the exercises every day for eight weeks. Our primary objective is to measure compliance, symptom reduction (using the UDI-6 questionnaire and the 1-hour pad test), and pelvic floor muscle strength.
