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.
Surgical outcomes of bladder neck surgery in children with neurogenic bladder. Consequences on bladder voiding.
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.
The study is a randomised, single-blinded, controlled crossover study. The total study duration for the individual subject will be between two days - two weeks, consisting of three site visits. Visits 0 and 1 can be performed on the same day. Visit 2 can be performed the day after visit 1. For visit 1 and 2, catheterizations will be performed in a hospital setting by a health care professional for bladder emptying assessment and collection of urine samples for haematuria assessment. A sub-group of subjects (all enrolled subjects at DK sites) will be asked to conduct a self-catheterization at visit 2 after hcp catheterization and evaluate discomfort and PVR. The total study duration for the individual subject will be up to 14 days.
The goal of this observational study is to learn more about the effect a pregnancy and delivery has on the function of the anal musculature.We will compare women who had a new delivery after suffering a severe tear in the anal musculature in their first pregnancy, with women who had two or more vaginal deliveries, but did not suffer such an injury. The main questions we want to answer is: - can the burden of a new pregnancy and delivery weaken the function of the repaired musculature in a way that might cause symptoms of anal incontinence later in life? - can a tear in the anal musculature increase the risk of developing urinary incontinence and long term sexual dysfunction? - should we recommend these women to have a caesarian section instead of a new vaginal delivery? Participants will be asked to complete an electronic questionnaire with information regarding their pregnancies, deliveries and potential symptoms from anal incontinence, urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction. Researchers will compare these two groups to find out if a new vaginal delivery has a negative effect on the function of the anal musculature.
Prospective multicenter study designed to test the feasibility of the UroMems Artificial Urinary Sphincter in women
The study included 2 stages: In the first, a mobile application with content including urotherapy training and patient follow-up was developed. In the second, a pilot study with the developed mobile application was carried out with 10 children.
