A MOBILE APPLICATION DEVELOPED FOR CHILDREN WITH URINARY INCONTINENCE
Urinary IncontinenceThe study included 2 stages: In the first, a mobile application with content including urotherapy training and patient follow-up was developed. In the second, a pilot study with the developed mobile application was carried out with 10 children.
Study of Non-Ablative Radiofrequency Treatment for Stress Urinary Incontinence
Stress Urinary IncontinenceThis is a prospective, pilot clinical study involving two study groups. This study is designed to demonstrate that the study treatment meets primary efficacy and safety endpoints. The treatment involves radiofrequency treatment to address symptoms of stress urinary incontinence. After receiving the study treatment, subjects will be followed out to 12 months post-treatment. At the Screening Visit, and at each designated follow-up timepoint, subjects will be asked to complete a variety of questionnaires, provide a patient diary, and undergo an objective assessment for urine loss.
Incontinence & Intimate Partners: Assessing the Contribution of Treatment
Urge Urinary IncontinenceUrge urinary incontinence (UUI) is a socially debilitating disease due to its inherently unpredictable nature and sometimes large volumes of urine loss. Women with UUI may experience anxiety over public episodes of incontinence and concerns about odor and, as a result, isolate themselves socially. This isolation affects both partners in the relationship and may be a source of discord. The impact of UUI also moves into personal relationships where fears or actual episodes of incontinence during physical intimacy, including but limited to intercourse, may result in limited interactions and changes in the relationship satisfaction for both partners. Few studies have examined the role of urinary incontinence, particularly UUI, in the dynamics of an intimate partner relationship and none have evaluated the impact of successful UUI treatment. The long-term goal of our research is to understand the social and emotional impact of pelvic floor disorders, particularly UUI, on the well-being of an intimate relationship. Ultimately, we aim to evaluate the role that successful treatment plays in the alleviation of discord in intimate partner relationships that are affected by UUI and other pelvic floor disorders. Our objective for this proposal is to characterize, using validated, quantifiable methods the quality of the relationship in couples affected by UUI and to identify the role that treatment plays in improving this relationship. Our central hypothesis is that UUI has a negative impact upon the emotional and physical well-being of a relationship and that effective treatment will result in improvement in areas of the relationship that have been detrimentally affected by UUI. Our rationale for this study is that an understanding of UUI in the context of a couple, particularly from the perspective of the male partner, will improve our ability to holistically treat UUI, thus improving patient outcomes and satisfaction.
Athena Pelvic Muscle Trainer - DUETS Trial
Urinary IncontinenceThe purpose of this study is to determine if the Athena Pelvic Muscle Trainer device effectively treats stress, urge or mixed incontinence in women by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles by collecting data from the patient on the Over Active Bladder Questionnaire The 7-Day Urine Diary questionnaire This study will also look at whether or not there is an improvement in sexual health after using the device by collecting data frm the patient on the Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire
Impact of Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia on Nighttime Urine Production
Sleep FragmentationPoor Quality Sleep2 moreNocturia is prevalent in older adults and it vastly reduces quality of life. Yet its treatment remains inadequate because its causes are not well understood, especially nocturnal polyuria or increased urine production at night. This study, which builds on the investigators' ongoing research, would be the first of its kind to explore the role of sleep in nighttime urine production. The findings will contribute important knowledge to guide development of better targeted and more effective therapy for this prevalent and morbid condition.
Effectiveness of Pelvic Floor Muscle and Abdominal Training in Women With Stress Urinary Incontinence...
Stress Urinary IncontinencePelvic Floor Muscle WeaknessThe aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle and abdominal training in reproductive-age patients with stress urinary incontinence. This prospective randomized controlled design study included 64 female patients aged 18-49 years with stress urinary incontinence. The patients were divided into 2 groups (32 PFMT "Pelvic Floor Muscle Training" and 32 PFMT+AT "Abdominal Training") by computer-based randomization. The stress urinary incontinence type was assessed by a stress test, and the pelvic floor muscle strength was measured with a home biofeedback device. Voiding functions were assessed by a 3-day voiding diary and uroflowmetric test. The UDI-6 scale was used to assess the urinary symptoms, and the IIQ-7 scale was used to assess the quality of life. The follow-up measurements of both groups were obtained in the 0th, 4th, and 8th weeks.

Information, Motivation, Behavioral Skills Model on Urinary Incontinence and Quality of Life in...
Overactive BladderQuality of LifeMultiple studies have shown that education based on the IMB model is effective at bringing about health-related behavior change. The IMB model was found to be effective in developing healthy behaviors aimed at maintaining heart health, providing behavior to prevent smoking addiction, diabetes management, correct nutrition in iron deficiency anemia, and using condoms to prevent HIV. There are no studies in the literature regarding the adaptation of the IMB model to behavioral therapy in patients with OAB or urinary incontinence. To address this, there we aimed to investigate the effect of the IMB model on urinary incontinence and quality of life in men with OAB.
