Urinary Incontinence Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparative Effectiveness of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training, Mirabegron, and Trospium Among Older Women With Urgency Urinary Incontinence and High Fall Risk: a Feasibility Randomized Clinical Study
The goal of this study is to conduct a randomized pilot multi-arm clinical trial comparing a standard course of physical therapist provided pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) to pharmacologic therapy for the treatment of urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) or Overactive Bladder (OAB) in older women at high risk of falling. The central hypotheses for this project are i) a randomized pilot multi-arm clinical trial comparing PFMT to drug treatment for UUI or OAB in older women at high risk of falling is feasible; and ii) treatment approach can influence both UI and fall related outcomes in this patient population. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) Is a multi-arm clinical trial comparing PFMT to drug treatment for UUI or OAB in older women at high risk of falling feasible? and 2) How does treatment approach influence both OAB and fall related outcomes in this patient population? Women (16 per arm) 60 years and older with UUI or OAB who screen positive for high fall risk will be randomized to one of three standard of care treatment arms and followed for six months. The three treatment arms are i) a 12-week structured behaviorally based pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) intervention administered by physical therapists in the clinic; ii) a 12-week course of the beta-3 agonist, Mirabegron; and iii) a 12-week course of the antimuscarinic, Trospium Chloride. Researchers will compare study feasibility and OAB symptom related outcomes across the three groups to see if a larger clinical trial is warranted.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Other | Qualitative interviews | Semi-structured interview information will be combined with quantitative trial results to: Explore participants lived experiences with these conditions; perceived benefits and harms of the interventions; and examine factors associated with treatment benefits and harms. | Baseline; at the end of the 12-week intervention; and at the 6-month follow-up. | |
Primary | Evaluability | Number of participants completing the baseline and the post-intervention assessments divided by number enrolled. | Assessed at the end of the 12-week intervention period | |
Primary | Clinical-Based Adherence | Pelvic floor muscle training arm: clinic-based adherence over the 12-week intervention will be calculated by dividing the number of sessions attended by the number of scheduled sessions. | Assessed at the end of the 12-week intervention period | |
Primary | Home-Based Adherence | Home-based adherence will be percentage of adherence to the prescribed home program. Patients complete a home exercise diary each time they perform prescribed exercises. The diaries are taken to every clinic appointment and reviewed by the provider. | Assessed at the end of the 12-week intervention period | |
Primary | Medication Adherence | Medication arms adherence will be calculated as pill counts, i.e., number of pills dispensed minus the number of pills returned. | Assessed at the end of the 12-week intervention period | |
Secondary | International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire - Overactive Bladder (ICIQ-OAB) | The ICIQ-OAB is a patient reported outcome that captures self-perceived degree of urinary frequency, urinary urgency (rushing to the bathroom), and urge incontinence (leakage) as well as symptoms related to nocturia (nighttime urination). The overall score is 0-16 with greater values indicating increased symptom severity. | Baseline; at the end of the 12-week intervention; and at the 6-month follow-up. | |
Secondary | International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Quality of Life (ICIQ-LUTSqol) | The ICIQ-LUTSqol measures the influence of urinary incontinence problems on the quality of life, and changes in interpersonal relations in everyday life. The overall score of ICIQ-LUTSqol is 19-76 score with greater values indicating increased impact on quality of life. | Baseline; at the end of the 12-week intervention; and at the 6-month follow-up. | |
Secondary | Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I) | The Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I) is a patient reported outcome that measures level of concern about falling during daily activities inside and outside the home whether or not she actually does the activity. FES-I score ranges from minimum 16 (no concern about falling) to maximum 64 (severe concern about falling). | Baseline; at the end of the 12-week intervention; and at the 6-month follow-up. | |
Secondary | Number of Participants with Incident falls | An event which results in a person coming to rest inadvertently on the ground or floor or other lower level. | Baseline; at the end of the 12-week intervention; and at the 6-month follow-up. | |
Secondary | PROMIS Satisfaction with Participation in Social Roles | PROMIS self-reported questionnaire that measures the general satisfaction with performing one's usual social roles and activities. For the adult 8-item form, the lowest possible raw score is 8; the highest possible raw score is 40. A higher score equals higher physical functioning. | Baseline; at the end of the 12-week intervention; and at the 6-month follow-up. | |
Secondary | Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) | A battery of 3 physical performance tests: 1) the ability to stand with the feet together in side-by-side, semi-tandem, and tandem positions; 2) time to walk 3 meters; and 3) time to rise from a chair 5 times. A rank ordinal score is given for each test, then all 3 are summed. SPPB total scores range from 0 (worst performance) to 12 (best performance). | Baseline; at the end of the 12-week intervention; and at the 6-month follow-up. | |
Secondary | Physical activity | Physical activity monitoring via accelerometry will be used to assess sedentary and physical activity behaviors by calculating total number of steps taken per complete 24 hour day (i.e., midnight-to-midnight) during each monitoring period. | The accelerometer will be worn for 1 week after randomization; for 1 week at the end of the 12-week intervention; and for 1 week at the 6-month follow-up. | |
Secondary | PROMIS physical functioning 8b | PROMIS physical function questionnaire assesses self-reported capability rather than actual performance. This includes functioning of upper & lower extremities, mobility, as well as instrumental activities of daily living, such as running errands. For the adult 8-item form, the lowest possible raw score is 8; the highest possible raw score is 40. A higher score equals higher physical functioning. | Baseline; at the end of the 12-week intervention; and at the 6-month follow-up. | |
Secondary | Absorbent pad use | Self-reported daily number of absorbent pad used in the previous week. Higher numbers of self reported daily pad use is considered worse than low numbers of daily pad use. | Baseline; at the end of the 12-week intervention; and at the 6-month follow-up. |
