Filter by:Introduction: The overactive bladder is a highly prevalent condition, which negatively impacts the quality of life and daily activities of women. Transcutaneous electrostimulation is currently a therapeutic alternative for urinary urgency symptoms. Although it can be applied to the sacral plexus or tibial nerve, the literature shows the effectiveness of these two modalities, in isolation, but there are few scientific studies that compare them as two therapeutic alternatives. Primary objective: to evaluate the efficacy between parascutaneous electrostimulation, tibial transcutaneous stimulation, and home protocol in the treatment of female overactive bladder. Methodology: This is a clinical trial, which will include women with a clinical complaint of overactive bladder, with or without urgency-incontinence, who will be randomized into 3 groups: transcutaneous parasacral electrostimulation (EETP), transcutaneous tibial electrostimulation (EETT) and a third group, home transcutaneous parasacral electrostimulation (EETPD), will consist of women who have financial difficulties or locomotion to attend the clinic.All groups, in the first session, will be guided to conduct behavioral therapy and will receive an educational booklet with guidelines. The equipment to be used will have a wave frequency of 10 Hz, a pulse width of 700 µs and a 20-minute session, with intensities according to the participant's tolerance. The intervention protocol of the EETP group is 30 sessions, three times a week, with an active electrode in the parasacral region. For EETT, 30 sessions will also be held, three times a week, with the electrode active in the tibial region. Participants will be captured at educational events held by the Pelvic Floor Service Center in Salvador and the metropolitan region. Participants will answer the basic anamnesis questionnaires, ICIQ-OAB, ROMA III criteria, Bristol scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Oswestry scale, Pittsburgh sleep quality index and Female Sexual Function Index. Then, the assessment of the bladder neck and the thickness of the bladder wall will be performed by 2D ultrasonography via suprapubic and intravaginal, following the assessment protocol described for the intervention groups. Primary outcomes: clinical improvement of symptoms, urinary frequency, episodes of urgent urinary incontinence, presence of adverse effects and constipation. Secondary outcomes: quality of life, sexual function, quality of sleep, anxiety and depression, muscle function (PERFECT and electromyography), lumbar-pelvic pain (pain intensity) and ultrasound. Participants will be followed for a minimum of 12 months to verify the long-term response, returning every 3 months. Expected results: The outpatient transcutaneous parasacral electrostimulation is expected to be superior when compared to the tibial transcutaneous electrostimulation in the resolution of the symptoms of the overactive female bladder.
The objective of this single arm, post market, clinical study is to evaluate the performance of Gynecare TVT EXACT® Continence System in women undergoing retropubic mid-urethral sling surgery for Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI).
The objective of this single arm, post market, clinical study is to evaluate the performance of Gynecare TVT ABBREVO® Continence System in women undergoing Mid-urethral sling surgery for Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI).
The objective of this post market, clinical registry is to evaluate the performance of the products of the TVT family of products or vaginal vault or uterine prolapse repair (with laparotomic or laparoscopic approach including robotic assisted) using either Gynemesh PS Mesh or Artisyn Mesh in women undergoing surgery for SUI and POP.
LiNPH is a prospective single center clinical and radiological study.
A post-market study to compare the safety and effectiveness of the Desara® One Single Incision Sling (SIS), when compared to that of an FDA cleared transobturator sling over a period of 36 months.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the ELITONE-UUI electrical muscle stimulation device on treating urge incontinence. The aim of the device is to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding structures to improve urinary incontinence.
This is a pilot study to test the feasibility and acceptability of a multi-component facility-based intervention designed to be provided adjunct to genital fistula surgery incorporating: health education, psychosocial counseling, physiotherapy, and economic investment. We will include a total of 30 women in the study, and follow them for 6-months using a mixed-methods strategy for feasibility and acceptability assessment.
The determined study category is a prospective clinical randomized controlled study to evaluate the effect of WBVT in combination with urophysiotherapy to playfully expand the therapeutic options for children and adolescents with incontinence. This will be the first time use of WBVT for treating incontinence in children.
The overall objective of this study is to determine if a reduced injection site protocol (5 injection sites) using an equivalent amount of Botox provides comparable relief of Urgency Urinary Incontinence (UUI) symptoms compared to the standard injection site protocol (15-20 injection sites). Our central hypothesis is that the 5-site injection protocol is non-inferior in terms of relief of UUI symptoms compared to the standard injection site protocol, measured by a non-inferior reduction in the number of UUI episodes per day.
