Active clinical trials for "Enuresis"

The purpose of this study is to assess and to compare the efficacy of a face to face versus a remote physiotherapy instruction session about pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function, including teaching women how to contract their PFM and how to perceive a correct PFM contraction. Study participants will be randomly assigned to participate in one of the three study groups: Group 1 will receive face to face instructions, Group 2 will receive real time remote instructions and Group 3 will not receive any instruction. The primary outcome measure is PFM function assessed using the modified Oxford Scale.

There is a high prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) among female athletes and exercisers, especially in sports including high impact activities and heavy weightlifting. CrossFit and functional fitness is a popular exercise form, including a combination of heavy lifting and high impact activities at high intensities. In several recent studies, high prevalence rates of UI have been reported among female CrossFit/functional fitness exercisers. UI is defined as "the complaint of involuntary loss of urine". Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the most common type of UI and is defined as "the complaint of involuntary loss of urine on effort or physical exertion (e.g. sporting activities), or or sneezing or coughing". Urinary leakage during sport activities may affect athletes' and exercisers' performance, cause bother, frustration and embarrassment and furthermore lead to avoidance and cessation of sport activities. Pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training is highly effective in treating SUI in the general female population. However, evidence of the effect of PFM training in exercisers participating in high impact and heavy weightlifting activities is sparse. The purpose of this assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to assess the effect of PFM training on symptoms, bother and amount of SUI in female CrossFit/functional fitness exercisers.

Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is indicated as a first-line treatment for stress urinary incontinence. PFMT aims to improve pelvic floor muscle strength, endurance and relaxation ability or a combination of these. PFMT is a structured and customized exercise program. Pelvic floor muscles work in synchronization with many muscles and pelvic floor muscle function is supported by synergistic muscles. Relationships between the functions of pelvic floor muscles and synergistic muscle groups have been reported in the literature. However, studies comparing the efficacy of PFMT and combined training of these muscles are limited and more studies are needed. Therefore the aim of this study is to compare the effects of isolated PFMT and functional PFMT in women with stress urinary incontinence.

Telerehabilitation (TR) refers to the provision of rehabilitation services through information and communication technologies. The most widely used of these technologies are applications such as telephone and video conferencing. Urinary incontinence is defined as involuntary urinary incontinence ). This condition, which affects both sexes, is more common in women. Urinary incontinence is caused by dysfunction in the bladder and pelvic floor muscles in women during menopause, childbirth, or pregnancy. Urinary incontinence is a health problem that significantly affects people's social interactions, interests, and psychosocial status. It has been shown that even mild incontinence complaints cause a decrease in the quality of life in women. Pelvic floor muscle training is one of the conservative treatment methods used in the treatment of urinary incontinence.Adding breathing exercises and deep abdominal muscle strengthening exercises to pelvic floor muscle training may be beneficial in patients with urinary incontinence. In patients with urinary incontinence, women who are in regular communication with the supervisor during pelvic floor muscle training are more likely to gain higher from the program. However, it has not been shown that group physiotherapy is less effective than physiotherapy administered individually in reducing incontinence episodes. In the light of this information in the literature, our research hypothesis is that in patients with urinary incontinence, follow-up the pelvic floor muscle training, breathing exercise, and core exercise training with individually video conference method can have positive effects on patients' muscle strength, incontinence degree, quality of life, patient satisfaction, exercise adherence, and sexual function.

This research aims to evaluate a Kegel Exercises guidebook to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in female patients. The Kegel Exercises guidebook had been made and evaluated before, this was a clinical trial to test out the book in clinical settings. In measuring the effectiveness of the book, the investigators used some examinations and questionnaires such as UDI-6, IIQ-7, perineometer, and 1-hour pad test improvement. Investigators followed up the patient's symptoms subjectively with UDI-6 and IIQ-7 and objectively with a perineometer and 1-hour pad test every four weeks.

Randomized clinical trial (RCT) will be conducted to compare the effects of Tanzberger exercises and pelvic floor muscle training on urinary incontinence and quality of life in post_menopausal females suffering from urine incontinence in which data will be collected from Razahat Medical Centre, Lahore via International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence-Short Form score (ICIQ-UI-SF) and incontinence quality of life (IQOL) Questionnaire. Sample size of 34 patients will be taken. Non_probability convenient sampling will be used. A written consent form will be taken from participants meeting inclusion criteria and will be randomly allocated into two groups through lottery method, to either the PFMs group or Tanzberger exercise group. Treatment will be given three times a week. International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire, Urinary Incontinence-Short Form Questionnaire and Incontinence quality of life will be used to measure quality of life. All participants in both groups will be evaluated before and after the treatment programs. Total duration of study will be six months. Data will be analyzed by using SPSS 21

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) on urinary incontinence reports in obese women undergoing a low calorie diet prior to bariatric surgery for obesity. The study will also assess and compare rates of adherence to treatments, pelvic floor muscle function and women´s self perception of their PFM function, and satisfaction with treatment.

The aim of the present study is to test the hypothesis that voluntary pelvic floor muscle pre-contraction (the Knack) (alone) can be a treatment for urine leakage during efforts. For this purpose, the following parameters will be analysed and compared amongst 1) the Knack, 2) pelvic floor muscle training and 3) the Knack + pelvic floor muscle training groups: urine leakage as assessed by the pad test, urinary symptoms, muscle function, quality of life, subjective cure, adherence to exercises in the outpatient setting and at home and perceived self-efficacy of pelvic floor muscle exercises. The study population will comprise women with mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence or mixed urinary incontinente (with predominant stress urinary incontinence) as assessed by means of the one-hour pad test (leakage ≥2 g). Leakage up to 10 grams will be rated mild stress urinary incontinence and of 11 to 50 grams as moderate stress urinary incontinence. The sample will also include women with grade 2 muscle strength (normal contraction with elevation of the anterior vaginal wall) on the two-finger assessment rated according to the Oxford scale. The primary outcome measure will be the objective cure of urinary incontinence as assessed by means of the one-hour pad test three months after randomization. Secondary outcome measures: three-day bladder diary, 1 hour pad test, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form, Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire, Subjective cure of stress urinary incontinence, Self-efficacy/outcome expectation to pelvic floor muscle exercises, Frequency of the outpatient sessions, adherence to home exercises and pelvic floor muscle function, morphometry, strength and vaginal squeeze pressure.

This study is designed to evaluate whether bilateral Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation is more effective than unilateral Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation at treating overactive bladder and urge urinary incontinence
