The Efficacy and Safety of Fotona Smooth® Device for the Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence...
Stress Urinary IncontinenceThere are many existing treatments of female stress urinary incontinence such as the use of adult absorbent pads and diapers, behavioral training, including bladder training, pelvic muscle exercises, biofeedback, urethral plugs, intravaginal prosthesis, electrical stimulation, periurethral injections, and reconstructive surgery. However, there is still a lack of effective minimally invasive treatment options that are independent of patient compliance. One emerging approach of minimally invasive SUI therapy is pelvic floor reinforcement using laser therapy. The primary objective of this post-marketing study is to confirm the effectiveness and safety of the FotonaSmooth® device in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in a large number of females using objective and subjective methods. Patients with stress incontinence will be assigned to two groups, an active group, where the Fotona Dynamis Er:YAG Laser System will be used, and a sham group where a very low laser setting will be used, and parameter presentations will be masked. Participants will be adult females, 18 years old and older with clinical and urodynamic diagnosis of Stress Urinary Incontinence,who have had no significant improvement in urinary incontinence from at least one previous conservative treatment, such as behavioral measures, pelvic floor muscle training or the use of absorbent pads
Treatment of Incontinence Associated Dermatitis - Automated
IncontinenceUrinary3 moreIncontinence and the skin irritation (dermatitis) associated with it are common problems. Treatment of dermatitis is effective, but requires effective cleaning and application of a barrier substance to prevent further contact between urine or feces and the skin. Water based cleansing with the addition of a pH balanced cleanser is more effective than standard abrasive cleansing with paper or a cloth, and is better tolerated by those with skin irritation. Zinc oxide based barriers effectively promote healing and prevent further skin damage. Spray forms are less cumbersome and generally preferred, but are difficult to for the patient to apply independently given the challenge of accessing the perineum. 40 patients, recruited from 3 specialty pelvic floor centers and 1 assisted living center will be provided a device that cleans, dries, and applies zinc oxide barrier spray with each use of the toilet. Dermatitis will be evaluated at the beginning of the study, and at weeks 1, 2 and 6 by medical staff using a standard scale (The Kennedy Scale).Quality of life will be measured using a visual analog scale derived from the quality of life in incontinence scale. The investigators hypothesize that the device will 1) effectively treat incontinence associated dermatitis, 2) prevent recurrence, and 3) be preferred over standard treatment.
The Effect of New-style Vaginal Repair Mesh in the Treatment of Female Stress Urinary Incontinence...
Stress Urinary IncontinenceThe study is to explore the effectiveness of a new-style anterior vaginal wall mesh in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence(SUI). Meshes were made by Gynemech TM PS, (Johnson & Johnson Shanghai Medical Equipment Co. China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) registration No. 3460365, size 10 × 15cm). Meshes were cut to appropriate size. The incontinence questionnaire summary table (ICIQ-SF), pad test, urodynamic and other diagnostic tests were used for preoperative assessment and the evaluation of postoperative surgical outcome and complication. The results were compared with the one-year cure rates of Burch and trans vaginal taping (TVT) surgeries. The analysis indicated that the surgery using the new-style anterior vaginal mesh, as a minimally invasive procedure, not only achieved its expectation with similar cure rate to Burch, TVT/ trans vaginal taping obturator (TVT-O) surgeries, but also has lower economic cost and complication rate than the TVT /TVT-O approach. The evaluation of long-term treatment effect needs further follow-up of the patients.
Effectiveness and Safety of Cell-Assisted Lipotransfer for the Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence...
Stress Urinary IncontinenceAutologous washed and homogenized fat micrograft harvested from the patient's front abdominal wall enriched with adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRC) derived by enzyme-treatment of a portion of the harvested fat. Fat tissue micrograft mixed with ADRC will be administered one-time endoscopically into submucosal layer of urethra under eye control. This is a single arm study with no control. All patients receive cell therapy.
Electrical Nerve Stimulation for Overactive Bladder a Comparison of Treatments
Overactive BladderUrge Urinary IncontinenceThe purpose of this study is to determine whether transcutaneous sacral nerve stimulation (TENS SNS) versus percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) is a more effective therapeutic option for subjects with idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB) who have failed conventional therapy. Our primary hypothesis is that TENS therapy is a more effective treatment option due to ease of use and improved subject compliance with this form of therapy.

Treatment of Female Stress Urinary Incontinence: Study Comparing Two Suburethral Slings, Retropubic...
Urinary IncontinenceStressThe purpose of this study is to compare efficacy and morbidity following the placement of two types of suburethral slings in women presenting with stress urinary incontinence: TVT and TVT-O.
Intraurethral/Intravaginal 2940 nm Erbium Laser Treatment For Stress Urinary Incontinence
Stress Urinary IncontinencePrimary objective is to assess the tolerability and safety of the intraurethral 2940nm Er:YAG laser technique in combination with intravaginal 2940nm Er:YAG laser method for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
Platelet-rich Fibrin Versus HIFU in Management of Stress Urinary Incontinence
Stress Urinary IncontinenceAim of the study is to compare effect of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) and platelet-rich fibrin in management of stress urinary incontinence. It is a randomized prospective study. After assigning to one of the two groups, patients will undergo relevant treatment. First group will undergo 3 cycles of intravaginal HIFU treatment in 6-weeks interval. Second group will undergo 3 injections of platelet-rich fibrin under urethra. Before the treatment and after 2, 6 and 12 months after treatment is finished patients will be asked to fill questionaries concerning quality of life ICIQ-UI SF, ICIQ-LUTS, PISQ12, FSFI. Before each treatment cycle patients will be examined and asked to fill daily micturition plan.
