Active clinical trials for "Enuresis"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether using penile vibratory stimulation with the Viberect handheld device can help the recovery of erections and urinary control after radical prostatectomy.

Urinary incontinence is any involuntary loss of urine. During gestation, hormonal and mechanical factors favor the incidence of urinary loss that may persist after delivery in up to 50% of women. Gestational urine loss can be prevented or treated during pregnancy with physical therapy. Pregnancy and delivery have been widely deemed important risk factors that should be assessed while developing preventive and curative treatments for both female urinary incontinence and pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. Pelvic floor muscle exercises, led by skilled physical therapists, can prevent, reduce, or even cure involuntary urine loss as well as pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. Within this framework, developing a low-cost, easy-to-perform method for the treatment of urinary incontinence and pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, with a preventive or curative approach, is considered necessary. The overall objective of this study is to assess the effects of pelvic floor exercises during pregnancy on pelvic floor muscles and urinary continence. Secondary aims include determining whether exercises change pelvic floor muscle function; if changing pelvic floor muscle function reduces the occurrence of urinary incontinence; developing and applying a manual guide; and determining whether the physical therapy guide is well accepted, easily understandable and reproducible.

The primary purpose of this study is to measure the efficacy of solifenacin succinate (VESIcare) on treating urinary incontinence in Parkinson's disease patients. The secondary objective of this study is to examine the effect of solifenacin succinate (VESIcare) on symptoms of PD and the patient's quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether pushing during labor that is controlled by the woman results in less birth-related injury and less postpartum urinary incontinence (UI).

Transobturatory tape (TOT) procedure is a minimally invasive approach to urinary stress incontinence owing to the category of the sling-adopting procedures. Its efficacy and safety, also in comparison with similar procedures have been demonstrated. The benefits of the sling- adopting procedures in comparison to laparoscopic Burch colposuspension, which has been considered as the gold standard treatment, have been showed. But these comparisons did not included the TOT procedure in the experimental arms. Based on this considerations the aim of this trial will be to compare TOT and laparoscopic Burch colposuspension in women with urinary stress incontinence.

Background: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of "Incontinence Health Belief Development Program" on urinary incontinence awareness and health beliefs of women in premenopausal period.The research was conducted in a randomized controlled double-blind pretest-posttest control group experimental research design type.The data of the research were collected in Samsun / Atakum District Healthy Life Center and three Family Health Centers. The study was completed with 76 women in the experimental group and 77 women in the control group. The pre-test data of the study were collected using the sociodemographic characteristics information form , the Incontinence Awareness Scale (ISI), the "Health Belief Scale for Urinary Incontinence and Kegel Exercise" and the "Broome Pelvic Muscle Self-Efficacy Scale" for the experimental and control groups.A 5-week "Incontinence Health Belief Development Program" was applied to the experimental group. Posttests were applied to the experimental and control groups 3 months after the program. Descriptive statistics, paired t test, chi-square, Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon analysis were used in the analysis of the data. What does this paper contribute? *Urinary incontinence awareness, health belief on urinary incontinence and kegel exercise and pelvic muscle self-efficacy of women increased after the Incontinence Health Belief Development Program based on the health belief model.

We propose a randomized non-blinded comparison of standard vs. transcorporal approach for placement of an artificial urinary sphincter in male patients with stress urinary incontinence after radiation and radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. In the United States, the artificial urinary sphincter (AUS), manufactured by American Medical Systems, is the gold standard surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in men. The cuff, which is the portion of the device that encircles and occludes the urethra, is typically placed directly around the urethra (i.e., "standard" placement). The cuff can erode into the urethra. Transcorporal placement has been introduced as a method to reduce the risk of erosion. Transcorporal placement involves tunneling the cuff through the erectile bodies so as to protect the dorsal aspect of the urethra. This approach has never been compared to standard placement in a randomized fashion. In our randomized trial, no additional procedures beyond the normal care protocol will be required of the patients. We will conduct the study through our established, IRB-approved multi-institutional network of surgeons. Success will be assessed via objective and subjective methods; complications will be tallied in a standardized fashion. Outcomes will be measured at two years.

Enuresis (E) or bedwetting is a common pediatric complaint, and recent research has discovered a link with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In children, OSA is often secondary to enlargement of their adenoids or tonsils, and is often successfully treated with a steroid solution given through the nose. The relationship between SDB and E is incompletely understood. Airway obstruction affects the quality of sleep, as the child will wake as the oxygen levels drop. Abnormal sleep also can decrease the secretion of hormones that affects the kidney's ability to concentrate urine at night, which can result in too much urine in the bladder. Contemporary evidence also suggests that patients with enuresis have abnormal sleep phases, which may impair the communications and inhibition of the bladder. In previous studies, the investigators have demonstrated that children with E have a high likelihood of having concomitant SDB. The investigators have also demonstrated that children with E and symptoms of SDB do not respond to typical management for bedwetting. Therefore, the investigators propose to treat patients presenting with E with our standard treatments for E (bed alarm) and first line therapy for SDB: Intranasal steroids. This medication helps to decrease the inflammation of the adenoids and tonsils, thereby reducing the airway obstruction. the investigators hypothesize that children with significant symptoms of SDB will improve with the addition of INS, and the investigators hope to see an improvement in their bedwetting, quality of life, and sleep quality as well. To test this, patents with E will be recruited from the pediatric urology clinic. They will be offered the standard treatment for E, the bed alarm, and the treatment group will be given an intranasal steroid spray. The investigators will then reassess the patients 3 months after treatment, and compare the two groups.

An proof-of-concept study to determine whether administration of testosterone enanthate weekly results in greater improvements in structural and functional characteristics of pelvic floor muscles and urodynamic parameters in postmenopausal women with urinary incontinence than that associated with placebo administration

The aim of the study is to identify protein markers in relation to the enuresis related nocturnal polyuria by using mass spectrometry on nocturnal urine samples. A biomarker for nocturnal polyuria would simplify an important part of the clinical characterization of enuresis patients.
