Filter by:• This study will be conducted to determine the effect of pilates exercises on stress urinary incontinence in postmenopausal women
The aim of this study is to propose an intelligent diagnosis and treatment system for for pelvic floor dysfunction in elderly women. The main question it aims to answer: 1) How can the investigators find out early if older women have different pelvic floor muscle functions? 2）How can the investigators give personalized treatment plans based on differences in pelvic floor function? Participants will be assigned different training programs by the system. The investigators will compare the treatment effects and costs of older women with pelvic floor dysfunction using and not using the system. All the participants will be offered examinations for pelvic floor function and different treatments. All examinations and treatments are non-invasive.
This will be a double-blind randomized control trial in women with stress urinary incontinence who are undergoing an outpatient transurethral bulking procedure for stress urinary incontinence. Subjects will be identified by the University of Rochester urologists and urogynecologists participating in the study who currently oversee stress incontinence care. Subjects will be randomized into two groups. One group will be undergoing the cystoscopy with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for analgesia, and the second group will have the cystoscopy with placebo TENS.
The study is to collect information on patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP), with a primary focus on the occurrence, duration, and severity of post-prostatectomy incontinence. Data will be collected at multiple time points, allowing for a dynamic understanding of urinary incontinence patterns at post RP.
Genitourinary Syndrome fo Menopause (GSM) is made up of a set of changes in the region of the vulva, vagina and lower urinary tract associated with a decrease in estrogen levels in the urogenital tissue, which leads to a reduction in blood supply, disorders in collagen metabolism and skin elasticity. The standard treatment for urinary incontinence during menopause is pelvic floor muscle training, associated or not with local hormone replacement therapy. Although low cost and easy to access, it is associated with low patient's adherence. Physical methods such as laser and radiofrequency in non-ablative, ablative and microablative forms are technologies that have recently been used in the vaginal mucosa to promote neoelastogenesis and neocollagenesis. It is hypothesized that menopausal women, who present symptoms of GSM, may benefit from this new, minimally invasive resource (microablative radiofrequency). This is a randomized clinical trial in which women aged between 40 and 65 years old will be included with clinical complaints of urinary symptoms associated with GSM. A basic anamnestic questionnaire will be used as the study instrument to collect sociodemographic, clinical data and symptoms, following the routine and standard of the service. To evaluate the treatment, the following will be used: voiding diary, pad test, vaginal cytology, histopathology, Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), Short-Form Health Survey - SF-36 Questionnaire, King's Health Questionnaire, evolution of symptoms (dryness, pain during sexual activity, vaginal laxity, itching, burning sensation and pain in the vaginal introitus) and level of patient's satisfaction. Patients will be randomized into: group 1 or control group, which will perform pelvic floor muscle training, PFMT, with supervision (three times) and at home twice a day, and group 2 or test group, which will perform the same PFMT protocol associated with vaginal microablative radiofrequency. 10% lidocaine spray will be applied three minutes before the procedure and three applications will be made to the vagina/vaginal introitus, with an interval of 30 to 40 days. The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy and duration of effect of microablative radiofrequency in the treatment of urinary symptoms associated with GSM.
NXT Urodynamics System Post-Market Clinical Follow-up Clinical Investigation to Confirm Ongoing Safety and Performance in Urodynamic Patient Sub-Populations
To compare the efficacy of mini sling against Transobturator tape for surgical management of women with stress urinary incontinence.
Pelvic floor muscle weakness is one of the most important causes of incontinence. There are many studies supporting that pelvic floor muscle training prevents incontinence and reduces symptom severity, and with A level of evidence, it is among the first in the conservative treatment of incontinence. Functional status and balance problems are common in elderly people with incontinence, and it is known that functional type incontinence is common. Elderly people with incontinence most often fall while trying to get to the toilet. Balance exercises are recommended for falls and balance problems. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of pelvic floor muscle training and balance exercises on ankle muscle function, joint range of motion and balance in individuals aged 65 and over with urinary incontinence.
The goal of this multicenter prospective and prevalence observational study is to punctually investigate and describe prevalence, predictors, quality of life and costs of Urinary Incontinence (UI) among female patients, female caregivers and female personnel in four hospitals in Northern Italy: San Raffaele hospital in Milan, San Raffaele Turro hospital in Milan, Zingonia Policlinico San Marco (BG) and Policlinico San Pietro in Ponte San Pietro (BG).
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) affects around 40% of women and has a major impact on quality of life. The gold standard for the treatment of SUI is pelvicfloor rehabilitation, but this presents constraints in terms of availability of healthcare professionals, as well as organization and travel for patients. Innovative devices offer self-training exercises for the pelvicfloor, thus promoting motivation and adherence to treatment. The hypothesis of this study is to prove that the use of a pelvicfloor medical device combined with 2 rehabilitation sessions is not inferior to pelvic-perineal rehabilitation.
