tDCS and Female Urinary Incontinence
Urinary IncontinenceUrinary incontinence (UI) is defined as any involuntary loss of urine and can be divided into three types: urgency, stress and mixed. Pelvic floor exercises are considered the main non pharmacological choice for UI treatment. Its mechanisms are not fully understood, however there are some evidence that central mechanisms play an important role in the continence control. In this context, neuromodulatory techniques, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), that address cortical targets has been demonstrated promising results in different health conditions. However, few studies have investigated the efficacy of adding tDCS to exercise therapies for women with UI.
Stress Urinary Incontinence Physiotherapy
Urinary IncontinenceStressThe purpose of the present study is to compare two different physiotherapy programs regarding their effect on stress urinary incontinence.
InTone for Urinary Incontinence
Urinary IncontinenceThe rationale for the conduct of this study is that the Intone device (along with pelvic physiotherapy) can be used to help females suffering from urinary stress incontinence by using electrical stimulation and biofeedback during pelvic floor muscle training. This investigation is important because it can aid in the greater acceptance and development of non-surgical treatments for Stress Urinary Incontinence if these areas are looked into. The study results will address if the Intone device is beneficial and promotes long-term improvement in women that suffer from urinary incontinence.

Transobturator Subtrigonal Tape vs Transobturator Suburethral Tape for Stress Urinary Incontinence...
Stress Urinary IncontinenceIntroduction: Minimally invasive procedures TOT (tension-free suburethral tape using transobturator approach)have been the standard for correction of SUI. However, around 28% of these patients exhibit alteration of urinary flow. Recently, in 40 patients who underwent open surgery, an abdominal fascia tape was placed in a subtrigonal position with a success rate of 87.5% without obstruction. Our intention is to make the most of the idea of subtrigonal position in minimally invasive procedures with transobturator polypropylene vaginal tape (S-TOT). Object of the Study: To evaluate the efficacy and security of S-TOT compared with TOT. Materials and Methods: Study Population: Patients of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) with an SUI diagnosis. Eligibility requirements: history of at least 3 months with symptoms of isolated SUI or symptoms of SUI associated with urge urinary incontinence (mixed UI). The size of the sample was estimated 34 subjects are required per group. Study Design: It is a parallel group randomized clinical trial. Success (efficacy) will be defined as when the SUI has been corrected with negative pad test and normal urinary flow. The results (efficacy) will be compared between the two groups using chi2 (group a/b versus success/lack of success). In all cases, p <0.05 will be considered significant. The data will be obtained with clinical evaluation, laboratory and radiological/imaging tests and the respective questionnaires during the visits before surgery, and at 2 and 6 weeks, and 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery.

Can Women Correctly Contract Their Pelvic Floor Muscles After to Receive Verbal Instructions and...
Urinary IncontinenceUrinary Incontinence3 moreThe pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is a conservative treatment, currently considered as first line for women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). However, in practice, about 30 to 50% of women are unable to perform the correct contraction of the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs). When requested to perform the muscle contraction, the contraction of the gluteal muscles, hip adductors, or abdominal muscles is observed initially, rather of contraction of the levator anus muscle. Some factors make it difficult to perform the contraction of the PFM, such as its location on the pelvic floor, and its small size, followed by a lack of knowledge of the pelvic region, as well as its functions. Associated with these factors is the use of the muscles adjacent to the PFM, as previously mentioned. In order for women to benefit from a PFMT program for the treatment of SUI, the awareness phase of PFM can't be omitted, since the literature is unanimous in stating that pelvic exercises improve the recruitment capacity of the musculature, its tone and reflex coordination during the effort activities.
Non-invasive Nerve Stimulation for Inhibition of Bladder Incontinence in Spinal Cord Injured Subjects....
Spinal Cord InjuriesInvestigators will test S2-S4 dermatome stimulation with spinal cord injury (SCI) individuals using intermittent catheterization to estimate the clinical impact on bladder capacity and continence. For individuals with SCI using intermittent catheterization, investigators hypothesize that dermatome stimulation will decrease bladder spasm frequency and intensity, and reduce bladder incontinence chronically. The goal of this study is to provide objective evidence for the assertion that dermatome stimulation chronically decreases bladder activity and therefore the unwanted side effects of neurogenic bladder. This project will improve the understanding of the neurophysiology of afferent-mediated neural pathways that affect bladder function, and translate recent advances discovered in animal and human studies into clinical research and treatment. The ability to void safely and effectively by electrical stimulation without cutting sacral nerves or the external urethral sphincter would be a major advance. A socially acceptable, predictable and reliable device for reducing incontinence would be widely used and improve quality of life.
Effects of Training of Pelvic Floor Muscles (MAP) on Stress Urinary Incontinence
Stress Urinary IncontinenceIn the current scientific literature, it is clear that SUI can cause several social, hygienic and personal relationship problems. It has also been proven that this condition affects many more menopausal women than menacme, and this is believed to be due to the hypoestrogenism characteristic of this phase. On the other hand, weakness of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) is also related to the genesis of SUI. The role of these muscles would be to keep the bladder neck elevated (above the pubic symphysis) during increases in abdominal pressure, and its weakness would lead to excessive lowering of the bladder neck at these times, leading to SUI due to bladder neck hypermobility. The conservative treatment of this condition, therefore, encompasses the strengthening of PFMs, which would avoid excessive descent of the bladder neck during increases in abdominal pressure, thereby reducing urinary loss. In the current literature there are studies proving the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training; however, in relation to the literature on abdominal hipopressive gymnastics, it is observed that the scientific evidence is still poor, however, the technique is still Widely spread through extension courses offered throughout Latin America, France and Spain; With regard to the comparison of these methods with respect to their clinical efficacy and the quality of life and patient satisfaction, there are no consistent studies, and this fact motivated us to carry out this study.
