Comparing Use of a Digital Health System of Pelvic Floor Exercise Program to Kegel Exercises in...
Stress Urinary IncontinenceMixed Urinary IncontinenceA randomized controlled trial for patients with stress urinary incontinence or stress-dominant mixed incontinence. Subjects will be randomized to 8-weeks of home kegel exercises or 8 weeks of pelvic floor muscle exercises using the leva digital pelvic health system that includes visual biofeedback via smartphone.
Urinary Incontinence Amongst Women With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseaseUrinary IncontinenceThe primary aim of the study is to investigate whether pelvic floor muscle training or cough-suppression therapy reduces symptoms of urinary incontinence amongst women with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease grade 1-4 (mild to very severe disease).
Development of a Manualized Wireless Moisture Pager Intervention for Teaching Toileting in Children...
AutismEnuresis1 moreThis pilot study is designed to investigate the feasibility of comparing a standard behavioral intervention and an innovative intervention that incorporates the use of a wireless moisture alarm in training children with autism how to independently use the toilet for urination. We hypothesize that the study protocol will be feasible, as measured through review of achieved recruitment targets, successful randomization, and >80% retention of subjects with com- plete data collection. Our second hypothesis is that therapists will deliver experimental and standard behavioral treatment intervention with ≥80% fidelity and parents in both intervention groups will adhere to the intervention with ≥80% fidelity. A secondary aim of this study is to examine trends in outcome data by conducting a small RCT (N = 30) of wireless moisture alarm and standard behavioral toilet training, with the hypothesis that the moisture alarm intervention will result in fewer toileting accidents, a higher rate of toileting success and greater parental satisfaction.
The Importance of Electrical Stimulation as a Treatment for Urinary Incontinence in Patients Prostatectomy...
Urinary IncontinenceThe use of electrical stimulation to reduce urinary incontinence in men undergoing prostatectomy exercises of the pelvic floor muscles (MAPs)
Effectiveness of Physiotherapy to Treat the Urinary Incontinence and Erectile Dysfunction Post Retropubic...
Urinary IncontinenceErectile DysfunctionThe prostate cancer is the most common parenchymal neoplasia in men over 45 years old. Radical prostatectomy is curative treatment is most used today. Urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction are the main complications of radical prostatectomy. Physical therapy has been used as a form of conservative treatment of these complications. However, the role of physiotherapy in the treatment of these complications is not well defined in the literature. We will do a randomized controlled study with patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. After removal of the Foley catheter, patients will be randomized into 3 groups: control group, group of pelvic floor exercises and anal electrostimulation group. These patients will be evaluated preoperatively in an attempt to meet prognostic factors for urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. They will be followed by 2 years after surgery, to assess whether the therapy will alter the course of urinary continence and erectile function in these patients.
L-methionine, Hibiscus Sabdariffa and Boswellia Leaf Extract to Prevent Postoperative Urinary Tract...
Urinary Tract InfectionPelvic Organ Prolapse1 moreThis study will include women who will undergo pelvic reconstructive surgery and/or anti-incontinence sling procedures. Patients will be randomized to the combination of L-methionine, Hibiscus Sabdariffa and Boswellia Leaf Extract in tablet or placebo twice a day during the seven days before and after surgery (total of 14 days). In this randomized, double-blind study, the investigators will assess treatment of clinically suspected or culture-proven urinary tract infections within 3 weeks of surgery (primary outcome), and risk factors for treatment for postoperative urinary tract infections (secondary outcomes) between the two study groups.
Rectal Balloon Training in Female Urinary Incontinence
Urinary IncontinenceUrinary incontinence (UI) is a common and worldwide problem.Although pelvic floor muscle training(PFMT) is the standard recommendation for conservative treatment but some patients had difficulty doing PFMT. They could not locate the pelvic floor muscles, and so could not perform the PFMT properly or increase intensity of the exercise. The authors hypothesized that rectal balloon training(RBT) may improve patients' pelvic floor recognition as well as it is another option of progressive strengthening of pelvic floor muscle. This study's aim is to combine RBT with PFMT using the water-filled balloons of Foley catheters

Stress Urinary IncontinenceThe purpose of this trial was to discover which type of operation for stress urinary incontinence in women offered better results: autologous slings, TVT or Pelvicol slings.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair With or Without Concomitant Burch Colposuspension in Patients With...
Pelvic Organ ProlapseUrinary IncontinenceTo evaluate the impact of Burch colposuspension (BC), as an anti-incontinence measure, in patients with urinary incontinence (UI) undergoing abdominal surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair
Lessening Incontinence Through Low-impact Activity
Urinary IncontinenceThe LILA study is a pilot randomized parallel-group trial of a group-based yoga therapy program versus physical conditionin control program for treatment of urinary incontinence in ambulatory middle-aged and older women. Women aged 50 years and older who meet the criteria for frequency of incontinence episodes, are not using other clinical treatments for incontinence, and meet minimum physical mobility requirements and other eligibility criteria will be recruited from the general San Francisco Bay Area.
