Platelet Rich Plasma in Women With Urinary Incontinence
Urinary IncontinenceStress Urinary IncontinenceStress urinary incontinence (SUI) is defined as involuntary loss of urine on effort or physical exertion or on sneezing or coughing. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous solution of human plasma containing various growth factors witch enhance regeneration and healing process. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PRP in the treatment of the female SUI.
Pelvic Floor Magnetic Stimulation in Men With Radical Prostatectomy
Urinary Incontinence Episodes After the Magnetic Stimulation in Men With Radical ProstatectomyMS is a technology developed to non-invasively stimulate the central and peripheral nervous system, is applied in the treatment of UI. The MS technique aims to directly stimulate the pelvic floor muscles and sacral roots in the treatment of UI (3,4). MS is a more acceptable, relatively painless, non-invasive and suitable electrical treatment method for patients with UI (5). Data from studies suggest that MS may be beneficial for patients with UI after RP (1,2,5,6,7). In the literature, there are only 3 randomized controlled trials evaluating MS efficacy using a magnetic chair in patients with UI after RP (1,6,8) and one of them was published in Korean (6) and two of them in English(1,8). In these studies, MS was compared with pelvic floor muscle exercises (PFME) or electrical stimulation (ES) (intra-anal).Yokoyama et al.reported that MS and ES treatments had shown to provide earlier continence compared to the control group after RP. MS and ES are recommended as options for patients who want rapid recovery of postoperative UI(1). Liu et al reported that MS was more effective than PTKE on incontinence symptoms and quality of life (8). However, as far as we know, there is no prospective randomized sham-controlled study evaluating the effectiveness of MS in patients with post-RP UI. In addition, there are no suggestions regarding MS in the guidelines on urinary incontinence management due to insufficient data (9). In this study, sham-controlled efficacy of MS will be evaluated in patients with UI after RP. Our study is the first prospective randomized controlled trial comparing MS and Sham MS efficacy in patients with UI after RP. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of MS on incontinence related clinical parameters, quality of life, sexual functions, depression and anxiety in patients with UI after RP.

Efficacy of Extracorporeal Magnetic Stimulation, Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercise, and Combination of...
Post Radical Prostatectomy Urinary IncontinenceUrinary incontinence is one of the most common complications of radical prostatectomy. Multiple prevention and treatment modalities have been proposed in the management of post prostatectomy urinary incontinence. This is a randomized controlled comparative study to evaluate the efficacy of extracorporeal magnetic stimulation alone and combined with pelvic floor muscle exercise versus pelvic floor muscle exercise alone in the management of post radical prostatectomy urinary incontinence. This study is expected to be performed over 7 years. The study population will be all male patients who are prepared for radical prostatectomy under urology department in HMC and were referred to voiding dysfunction for preoperative counselling and postoperative rehabilitation. Patients will be randomized into one of three treatment groups. The first group will receive sessions of extracorporeal magnetic field stimulation only. The second group will receive extracorporeal magnetic stimulation in addition to pelvic floor muscle exercise. The third group will receive pelvic floor muscle exercise only. The recruitment phase will take 3 years. Patients will be followed for 18 months for the course of urinary incontinence symptoms, severity of urinary incontinence on 1-hour pad test, urodynamic leak point pressure and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF) and the ICIQ quality of life (QOL) score. This study is proposed to reveal strong evidence on the efficacy of extracorporeal magnetic stimulation on the management of post radical prostatectomy urinary incontinence.

Comparative Effectiveness of Initial OAB Treatment Options Among Older Women at High Risk of Falls...
Urinary BladderOveractive2 moreThe goal of this study is to conduct a randomized pilot multi-arm clinical trial comparing a standard course of physical therapist provided pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) to pharmacologic therapy for the treatment of urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) or Overactive Bladder (OAB) in older women at high risk of falling. The central hypotheses for this project are i) a randomized pilot multi-arm clinical trial comparing PFMT to drug treatment for UUI or OAB in older women at high risk of falling is feasible; and ii) treatment approach can influence both UI and fall related outcomes in this patient population. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) Is a multi-arm clinical trial comparing PFMT to drug treatment for UUI or OAB in older women at high risk of falling feasible? and 2) How does treatment approach influence both OAB and fall related outcomes in this patient population? Women (16 per arm) 60 years and older with UUI or OAB who screen positive for high fall risk will be randomized to one of three standard of care treatment arms and followed for six months. The three treatment arms are i) a 12-week structured behaviorally based pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) intervention administered by physical therapists in the clinic; ii) a 12-week course of the beta-3 agonist, Mirabegron; and iii) a 12-week course of the antimuscarinic, Trospium Chloride. Researchers will compare study feasibility and OAB symptom related outcomes across the three groups to see if a larger clinical trial is warranted.
