Active clinical trials for "Enuresis"

This study is about assessing the helpfulness of two treatment delivery methods for bladder leakage or urinary incontinence. It is being funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs. By doing this study, the investigators hope to learn which treatment method is the most helpful remote delivery method for treating bladder leakage. The total participation time in this research is 6 months. During the first 8 -12 weeks of the study, you will receive standard of care from an online educational program (MyHealtheBladder) or a video visit with a provider through VA Video Connect. You will be selected by chance to receive MyHealtheBladder or VA Video Connect. About half-way through the study, the investigators will ask you about your bladder symptoms. If your bladder symptoms are not better, you will be selected by chance to continue the previous treatment or receive an initial or booster video session with a provider. Throughout the study, you will be asked to answer questions related to your health, bladder leakage, costs due to bladder leakage, and track your behavioral training.

To assess to the non-inferiority of the retropubic Neomedic Knotless Incontinence Mesh (KIM) sling compared to the Gynecare Tension-free Vaginal Tape (TVT) Exact sling. Participants: Women 21 years or older with a diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) with objective evidence of SUI planning surgery for stress urinary incontinence. Procedures (methods): Patients will be randomized to receive either the Gynecare TVT Exact sling or the retropubic Neomedic KIM sling. Patients will be followed for 1 year postoperatively.

One in five women will undergo prolapse surgery in their lifetime, and there is a strong correlation between prolapse and urinary incontinence. Pelvic floor surgeons aspire to improve relevant quality of life outcomes for women with pelvic floor disorders while minimizing complications and unnecessary procedures. There has been an experience of disappointment and frustration when a patient returns following POP repair with new symptoms of SUI that she ranks as a greater disruption to her quality of life than her original vaginal bulge. While retropubic (RP) slings are considered to be the "gold-standard" referent for other slings with long-term outcomes data, they are associated with the highest risks of intra- and post-operative complications including bladder injury, bleeding, and post-operative voiding dysfunction. Single-incision slings (SIS) are the latest iteration in sling development that build upon the benefits of slings but avoid passage through the muscles of the inner thigh. The hypothesis for this study is that single-incision slings (Altis ™) are non-inferior to Retropubic mid-urethral slings when placed at the time of native tissue vaginal repair.

The purpose of this open, multi center trial is to evaluate a new biological replacement for synthetic slings in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.

The purpose of this study is to compare an automated bladder diary (autoBD) to a paper bladder diary (pBD) on their level of agreement, patient compliance and satisfaction. It is a mixed methods, randomized 2x2 crossover trial. Pediatric patients (6 to 12 years) presenting to the clinic and identified as requiring a bladder diary will be recruited. Participants will be randomized either to group 1, where they complete the paper bladder diary (pBD) and then the automated bladder diary (autoBD), or to group 2, where they complete the autoBD and then the pBD. Both diaries are kept for at least 2 consecutive days with a wash-out period of 2 to 6 days between the two diaries. Mean differences and the level of agreement between the pBD and autoBD will be analysed using Bland Altman plots for key diary parameters. After completion of each diary format, participants will complete a short online survey regarding compliance, satisfaction and their preference, if any. Finally, a selection of participants and their parents will be invited for an open-ended interview. The participating healthcare professionals will be asked to score each pBD and autoBD on patient compliance when processing the diary. Furthermore, surveys and open-ended interviews will be conducted to assess their overall satisfaction of each diary type and their preference, if any.

To investigate the immediate, short-term and long-term efficacy of vaginal radiofrequency therapy in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence, and to compare the efficacy of pelvic floor electromyography combined with biofeedback therapy in stress urinary incontinence.

Urinary incontinence (UI) is estimated to affect 25% à 45 % women all over the world. UI is associated with a poor Quality of life, with a strong level of certainty. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the second more prevalent type of UI . First-line treatment for SUI is conservative, non-drug and non-surgical treatment. Among these techniques, physiotherapist-supervised pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training (PFMT) as a first-line treatment; however, only half of women with SUI are cured with PFMT. Brain imaging shows that PFMs (involved in continence mechanisms) and gluteal muscles can activate the same cortical region. This synergy is found if the gluteal muscles are voluntarily activated, but not if the PFMs are volontary activated alone . In women, hip abductor physiotherapy is a common practice which has already been the subject of a very extensive literature and has largely shown its effectiveness in the quality of lumbo-pelvic control, balance, quality of life and risk of fall prevention. This rehabilitation is based on exercises that induce solicitation of the hip abductors by synergistic reflex activation during a range of well-known exercises. Recent work has shown the effect of hip abductors on the activation of the PFMs . Until today, there is no literature evaluating the effectiveness of a hip abductors training program without associated voluntary contraction of the PFMs (PPM) on UI. The hypothesis of this work will be to demonstrate that a complementary training focused on the hip abductor, complementary to concomitant PFMT, would benefit from a more significant improvement in continence, and also in physical abilities and quality of life. Because balance seems involved in UI, we therefore propose to to observe the effects on the frontal balance of the pelvis. As the investigators have already done in previous studies, to identifying factors that predict the success of our interventions, investiagtors have planned to evaluate the observance and adherence of our patients .Complementary, the investigators planned to evaluate the effect of both intervention on pelvic floor muscles and hip abductors strength and endurance, pelvic organ prolapse symptoms and quality of life. For this objective, the investigators intend to compare two randomized parallel groups: Group A follow a 12 sessions supervised PFMT + home based PFMs exercices. Group B follow a 12 sessions supervised PFMT + home based hip abductor exercices.

This is a confirmatory/bridging study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Autologous Muscle Derived Cells for Urinary Sphincter Repair (AMDC-USR) compared with placebo in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in adult Japanese female subjects. Half of the participants will receive AMDC-USR (injections with cells) and the other half will receive placebo.

Urinary incontinence is an increasing medical and socio-economical problem. 44% of the elderly (>65 years) women and 28% of the elderly men suffer from unwilling urine loss. Moreover, this percentages increase with age. Incontinence is a problem with multiple physical, psychological, and financial effects. In addition incontinence has a important impact on the family and healthcare professionals surrounding the elderly. The problem of urinary incontinence is complex and multifactorial. Moreover, diagnostic guidelines are inconsistent leading to a high amount of technical interventions to diagnose and to specify the type of incontinence. Aim of this study is to create a short form of necessary technical investigations to diagnose and evaluate urinary incontinence.

Urinary incontinence in children is defined as involuntary leakage of urine. Urinary incontinence is the most common urological complaint in children. Many factors are effective in urinary incontinence. Research on the effectiveness of the diaphragm in postural stabilization, which the investigators think is one of these factors, is limited. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of diaphragmatic breathing in postural stabilization with healthy individuals and individuals with urinary incontinence. As a result, it has been revealed that one factor of urinary incontinence is due to the dysfunction of diaphragmatic breathing and will be a step to increase awareness on diaphragmatic breathing.
