Active clinical trials for "Enuresis"

This pilot study will evaluate the efficacy of the pessary (disposable intra-vaginal device) by reduction in urine leakage in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety that the occurrence of incontinence is significantly decrease using the propiverine hydrochloride for 200 female patients with mixed (stress and urge) urinary incontinence in one week during a twelve-week treatment period.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy between a Pilates exercise program and a Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) protocol combined with anal electrical stimulation (AES) in the recovery of urinary continence (UI) after radical prostatectomy. There are no studies that evaluate Pilates mat exercises for incontinence in men although it can be assured that this method has the pelvic floor contractions as a principle for practice. If this new therapeutic approach proves to be as effective as described treatment in improving urinary complaints, it will be an option for patients who prefer a non-invasive treatment.

Enuresis is the scientific term for bedwetting. Modern research has established three pathogenic mechanisms as crucial: Excessive urine production at night (nocturnal polyuria). Detrusor over activity. The bladder may contract regardless of whether it is full or not. Difficulties to arouse from sleep and will not wake up when the bladder is full or contracts. Children with daytime incontinence usually suffer from detrusor over activity and many of them are constipated. The reason for this connection is probably partly anatomical; constipated children have to use the rectum as a storage space, and the chronically distended rectum will compress the bladder from behind. The link between constipation and enuresis (as opposed to daytime incontinence) is less clear although it is logically plausible. Our experience is that some enuretic children become dry at night just by treatment of constipation, but this is yet not supported by sufficient evidence The standard primary treatment of enuresis - as reflected by global consensus guidelines - rests upon three pillars. The recommended first step is 1) bladder advice. The next step, if the child is still wet at night, is either 2) the antidiuretic drug desmopressin or 3) the sleep-modifying enuresis alarm. The underlying idea behind basic bladder advice is that the child is taught to more actively take command over the bladder by voiding according to a regular daytime schedule, using correct voiding posture and spread fluid intake evenly across the day. The rationale behind the recommendation of this strategy is that is the established cornerstone of the treatment of daytime incontinence and that detrusor over activity is a pathogenic factor common to both conditions. By influencing bladder, function during the day it is assumed that nocturnal bladder function will also normalize. The problem is a glaring lack of evidence. Our primary aims with this study is to better understand which roles basic bladder advice, constipation therapy and/or the enuresis alarm play in the first-line therapy of enuresis.

The study is a single arm, prospective study of the safety and effectiveness of the Valencia Technologies eCoin System to stimulate the tibial nerve for the treatment of patients with refractory urgency urinary incontinence.

This study is a simple effectiveness trial to determine if the Lully Sleep Guardian has any effect on benign nocturnal enuresis.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of guided versus non guided pelvic floor exercises for urinary incontinence in patients with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of onabotulinumtoxinA 100 U (BOTOX®), compared to placebo, when injected into the bladder using an alternative injection paradigm in reducing the number of daily urinary incontinence episodes in patients with overactive bladder (OAB) and urinary incontinence whose symptoms have not been adequately managed with an anticholinergic.

The overall objective of this study is to establish if testosterone replacement in post-menopausal women with low testosterone levels and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) will lead to improvement in symptoms of SUI. This study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, clinical trial and will involve sixty (60) post-menopausal women with clinically diagnosed stress urinary incontinence and low testosterone concentrations. These subjects will enter the control period, which involves the baseline measurements of pelvic floor muscle volume and strength, amounts of urine leakage in 24-hour period, urodynamic parameters, and quality of life using Incontinence Impact Questionnaire and Urogenital Distress Inventory. Subjects are then randomly assigned to either placebo (30 subjects) or 300 mcg/twice-weekly testosterone patch (30 subjects) group. Both the subjects and investigators will be blinded. The duration of the testosterone/control study will be 36 weeks, with weeks 1-3 screening/control period, 4-28 application of placebo or testosterone patches and 29-36 recovery time/assessment of effects.

Childbirth is a major risk factor for pelvic floor muscle (PFM) trauma. In one third of women, stretching of the PFM will result in an avulsion injury (i.e. disconnection of the muscle from its insertion points on the pubic symphysis). Recent advances in imaging have led to the discovery of this previously unknown major injury and further research now enables its diagnosis with readily available techniques. Avulsion injury has alarming consequences because it has been associated with a higher rate of urinary incontinence in the postpartum period as well as the long-term development of other major urogynecological conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse and anal incontinence. Women with avulsion not only suffer from severe symptoms with significant related impacts on physical activities, overall well-being and quality of life, but they also present a higher rate of surgical failures. Moreover, it is still unknown whether the most recommended first-line treatment for urinary incontinence -PFM physiotherapy- is effective in women with this major trauma. Until now, only a pilot study conducted by our team supports the rationale and the efficacy of physiotherapy for improving PFM function in women with avulsion, despite their major muscle injury. Primary objective: To evaluate the efficacy of physiotherapy for urinary incontinence in women with avulsion at 9-months after randomization compared to a waiting-list control group. Secondary objectives: To compare physiotherapy to the control group after treatment and at 9-months after randomization in terms of: a) incontinence and prolapse (objective quantification, symptoms and related impact); b) PFM morphology and function; c) sexual function; d) self-efficacy; e) cost analysis; f) treatment satisfaction and impression of change. To investigate the impact of the severity of the avulsion (i.e. unilateral or bilateral) on the response to physiotherapy treatment on the aforementioned outcomes.
