Effect of an Abdominal Hypopressive Technique Program on Pelvic Floor Muscles and Urinary Incontinence...
Mild Pelvic Floor DysfunctionAbdominal hypopressive technique (AHT) is a therapy created for the treatment of the pelvic floor dysfunctions in the postpartum. In the last years it has been extended out of such medical context but there is a lack of scientific evidence, and the endurability of the effects of this technique are unknown. The investigator´s aim was to evaluate the effect of a 12 weeks AHT program on 1) the tone of the pelvic floor muscles and 2) on urinary incontinence, in women out of the postpartum phase. In addition the investigators looked for the endurability of its effect. Methods: The investigators performed a cross-over blinded intervention study of 4 month duration, in which women, stratified by age, were randomly assigned to a sequence of AHT-no AHT or no AHT-AHT. The AHT program consisted of 30 minute sessions, 3 days per week during 2 months. The investigators compared the effect of AHT versus no AHT, and of no AHT after 2 months versus AHT. The endpoints were the differences in perineal tonometry, and urinary incontinence symptoms, as measured by the ICIQ_SF. Comparisons were tested with student t tests, paired or unpaired as adequate.
Muscle Progenitor Cell Therapy for Urinary Incontinence
Urinary IncontinenceThis study is designed to evaluate the safety of muscle progenitor cells (MPCs) for the treatment of urinary incontinence due to incompetent outlet (bladder neck/urethra).
Efficacy of Magnetic Stimulation for Stress Urinary Incontinence
Stress Urinary IncontinenceThe aim of the study is to investigate the effects of QRS®-1010 PelviCenter in female patients with stress urinary incontinence. Based on the available data on magnetic stimulation, the investigators hypothesize that magnetic stimulation via QRS®-1010 PelviCenter will reduce the number and amount of urinary leakage upon exertion as well as improve patients' quality of life.
Effect of Pelvic Floor and Hip Muscle Strengthening in the Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence...
Stress Urinary IncontinenceINTRODUCTION: Stress urinary incontinence is a common condition in women and can be defined as the involuntary loss of urine on exertion, exercise, sneezing or coughing. This pathology causes physical discomfort and impacts the quality of life in a negative manner. Physiotherapeutic exercises is a treatment with low cost and high patient attendance. It can be applied with focus on strengthening the pelvic floor muscles or on muscular synergism. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of Kegel exercises performed alone or performed in association with the strengthening of the muscles of the hip in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. METHODOLOGY: The study is a randomized, blinded clinical trial. It aims at assessing objectively the strength of the pelvic floor, the improvement in the number of episodes of loss and impact on quality of life. The study will accept up to 40 women, who will be divided into two groups of physical therapy: group 1 (that will strengthen the pelvic floor muscles with Kegel exercises) and group 2 (that will perform strengthening the pelvic floor muscles with Kegel exercises associated with the strengthening of muscles of the hip). The two groups will be evaluated at the beginning and at the end of treatment.
Autologous Cell Therapy for Female Stress Urinary Incontinence
Stress Urinary IncontinenceThe Autologous Cell Therapy for Female SUI study is a clinical trial to determine the safety and potential effectiveness of a single dose of 200 million Cook MyoSite Autologous Muscle Derived Cells for treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence.
Bringing Simple Urge Incontinence Diagnosis & Treatment to Providers (BRIDGES)
Urge Urinary IncontinenceOveractive BladderSix hundred and thirty-six women diagnosed with urge urinary incontinence (UUI) by a three-item self-administered questionnaire (3IQ) will be randomized to 12 weeks of fesoterodine or matching placebo. The study will take place at up to 14 clinical sites in the US. All participants who complete the 12-week randomized trial will be offered open-label fesoterodine for an additional 9 months. The hypothesis of the randomized controlled trial is that among women diagnosed with urge incontinence using the 3IQ, fesoterodine is more effective than placebo in reducing the mean number of urge incontinence episodes per day.
