Filter by:This is a single center, investigator initiated study, sponsored by the UZ Leuven, Leuven, Belgium; comparing laser treatment to pelvic floor exercises (PFE). Women with symptomatic stress urinary incontinence who seek for a conservative treatment, with no history of previous incontinence-surgery will be randomised to either the laser-arm or the PFE-arm. There are 3 visits (with a maximum of 6 visits) where vaginal application of laser will be performed, with a 4-weeks interval. Each application lasts around 15 minutes. The vaginal laser procedure will be performed in an outpatient setting, not requiring any specific preparation, analgesia or anesthesia, by one of two experienced operators. The primary objective is to evaluate the effects of VEL treatment for the subjective cure or improvement of SUI. The secondary objectives are to measure objective outcomes, to register any adverse events, and to determine for how long the effects of laser are sustained, with a maximum of two years.
A three-armed randomized pilot trial will be conducted with 51 women having stress urinary incontinence, to evaluate the acceptance and ease of use of the conventional electromyography (EMG) biofeedback via vaginal probe in the treatment of urinary incontinence and that of the newly developed EMG biofeedback with Bluetooth. Women will be randomly allocated to one of two intervention groups (new biofeedback or conventional biofeedback) or the control group (PFMT alone). Women in the intervention groups will perform PFMT either with the new biofeedback or the conventional biofeedback, based on their group allocation. The control group will perform PFMT without a biofeedback device. Study outcome measures include, feasibility measures, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire, and 1-hour pad test.
In this randomised trial, we hypothesised that mebeverine could enhance nocturnal continenece of Orthotopic Bladder Substitute (OBS) patients by decreasing the frequency and reduce maximum amplitude of uninhibited contractions of OBS ileum, and consequently it would increase the OBS capacity
Radical prostatectomy is the gold standard in the treatment of patients with localized prostate cancer. Urinary incontinence, which is common after surgery, can affect the quality of life of men negatively. There are various attempts to prevent and treat urinary symptoms after radical prostatectomy.The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the structured bladder training program on lower urinary tract symptoms and quality of life in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.
This study aims to collect feedback from hydrophilic intermittent catheter end-users to assess user acceptance of the test hydrophilic intermittent catheter and generate evidence to support commercial marketing objectives.
The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of KHQ and ICIQ-SF in polish women.
Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Kegel exercises-focused intervention undergone by elderly women diagnosed with urinary incontinence on their incontinence, quality of life and perceived impact level. Design: The study has a single-blind randomized controlled experimental research design. Methods: The study was carried out between December 2017 and March 2019 with 60 elderly women registered at the Home Health Unit of a Metropolitan Municipality in Turkey. The women were assigned to the intervention (n=30) and control (n=30) groups. The participants in the intervention group were paid home visits to provide them with individual training and counseling on Kegel exercises. Whether the participants did the exercises was followed up by weekly phone calls. The frequency of urinary incontinence, the amount of urine leaking and the quality of life of the participants and their complaints about incontinence were assessed with the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form and questions on the assessment of the perceived impact at the onset of the study (0th week), and at home visits paid at the 6th and 12th weeks after the intervention.
This research study is studying MenHealth Mobile Uroflowmetry as a diagnostic tool for LUTS (lower urinary tract symptoms), a group of conditions involving the bladder, urinary sphincter, urethra and the prostate.
The objective of this study was to compare the effects of four different interventions on pelvic floor muscle electromyographic activity in women with stress urinary incontinece: i) a global osteopathic protocol (myofascial, visceral, and articular techniques), ii) one manipulation technique (high velocity, low amplitude (HVLA)/thrust) of the sacroiliac joint and T10-L2, iii) Pelvic Floor Muscle training, and iv) a control group with no intervention. The hypothesis is that the global osteopathic protocol and HVLA technique can increase pelvic floor muscle electromyographic activity to a level greater than or equal to the standard care established in the literature (pelvic floor muscle training).
This physiotherapist-guided group training programme should be performed in both the supine and the sitting positions; it is investigated, which is better and more cost-effective in patient motivation.
