Filter by:The purpose of this observational prospective study is to evaluate the success rate (cure plus improvement) of procedures for treatment of male stress urinary incontinence (artificial urinary sphincter or male slings) at 5 years of study follow-up and to determine other outcomes of surgical treatment for each of the devices and, to perform a prognostic factor analysis to identify clinical and surgical variables that correlate with (in)continence or revisions for each of the device subtypes. Cure is defined as urinary continence with no need for use of pads or the use of 1 light security pad; the improvement is defined as the reduction of≥ 50% of the number of pads with use of no more than two pads.
To determine the Effects of pelvic floor muscle exercise with and without Knack Technique in post-menopausal women with stress urinary incontinence
There are currently different treatment options in the management of stress urinary incontinence according to the latest recommendations [1]. Suburethral slings are currently considered the first surgical option due to an excellent cure rate of around 90%. Nevertheless, due to a risk of prosthetic complications and numerous current controversies over the placement of synthetic tissue, other therapeutic alternatives must be offered to patients [2]. Peri-urethral bulk agent injections have been used since 2006 in urinary incontinence and should be integrated into the therapeutic arsenal. This is a minimally invasive technique performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The mechanism of action is explained by better coaptation of the urethra and increased resistance to urine flow during the bladder filling phase. It also increases the strength of the striated sphincter thanks to a better arrangement of muscle fibers [3]. According to the European Association of Urology (EAU), the use of bulk agents is recommended for the management of urinary incontinence in elderly and/or frail patients whose comorbidities contraindicate surgical management. These peri-urethral injections can also be offered to patients with incontinence due to sphincter deficiency but also to young women with stress urinary incontinence who are ready to accept a partial improvement in their incontinence [1]. The personal choice of the patient is currently a decisive factor for the implementation of a treatment for functional disorders and in particular for urinary incontinence.
Urinary incontinence is becoming an increasingly common health, social and economic problem. The prevalence of urinary incontinence is estimated at 55% of the entire female population. Urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) is the least common subtype of urinary incontinence but has debilitating symptoms that lead to a decrease in quality of life. Ultimately, the urogynegology field does not have many successful types of treatments for this specific subtype. Extracorporeal magnetic stimulation of the pelvic floor is a type of conservative management that produces a magnetic field, which induces controlled depolarization of the nerves, resulting in pelvic muscle contraction and sacral S2-S4 roots neuromodulation. Therefore, it relieves symptoms of UUI and improves quality of life. There was no randomized, sham-controlled study published that researched the effectiveness of magnetic stimulation in the treatment of UUI that evaluated the success with subjective and objective methods, such as urodynamic studies. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of magnetic stimulation in the treatment of urgency urinary incontinence.
To test efficacy and safety at six months of the proposed Pubourethral Plication Procedure (PPP) for cure of stress urinary incontinence - reinforcing pubourethral ligaments (PUL) with large diameter polyester sutures.
Asess if adding vaginal spheres treatment to the conventional Pelvic Floor Muscle Trainning (PFMT) produces a greater decrease in the severity of the stress urinary incontinence or a greater perceived quality of life related to incontinence.
The increase in the age of the population is a problem that affects both Spain and the rest of the world. Life expectancy increases, and this will influence the quality of life that older people will have. The quality of life is related to the health of the population. Women live longer than men and have diseases such as urinary incontinence that are more frequent in them. This is related to childbirth, increasing age, and menopause due to the hormonal level. Therefore, there are a series of problems related to both physical and mental health associated both with increasing age and with the situation of hormonal change that occurs after the onset of menopause. All of this will influence deficient pelvic musculature, sexual function, sleep quality, and depression/anxiety. Conservative treatment using hypopressive abdominal exercises has been shown to be beneficial at the level of health in female populations with urinary incontinence. The challenge lies in designing exercise programs that, in addition to achieving these benefits, are attractive with acceptance and adherence. The objective of this doctoral thesis is to study the effects of hypopressive abdominal exercises for 12 weeks on quality of life related to urinary incontinence in women, sleep quality, anxiety and depression, and female sexual function in women. Spanish postmenopausal women.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate and compare the effects of functional magnetic stimulation and pelvic floor muscle training on pelvic floor muscle function, urinary incontinence symptoms and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the effect of functional magnetic stimulation 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 - functional magnetic stimulation or pelvic floor muscle training program? Participants will be evaluated before and after the intervention with the following methods: - International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF); - Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-Short Form (IIQ-7); - Pelvic floor muscle strength and endurance will be assessed with a "Pelvexiser" perineometer.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the outcomes of differing durations of antibiotic prophylaxis with bladder onabotulinumtoxinA injection in patients with refractory overactive bladder. The main question it aims to answer are: • Is the incidence of post-procedure UTI similar between single-dose and multi-day durations of peri-procedural antibiotics? Participants will be randomized to single-dose versus multi-day dose of antibiotic prophylaxis with bladder onabotulinumtoxinA injection. Researchers will compare incidence of UTI in each group to see if there is a significant difference.
The main goal of this study is to see if group pelvic floor training before surgery can help prevent urinary incontinence after Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) surgery. The study has the potential to inform preoperative intervention strategies for managing incontinence after HoLEP.
