Efficacy of Alpha-blockers (Tamsulosin) in the Treatment of Symptomatic Dysuria in Multiple Sclerosis...
Multiple SclerosisDysuria3 moreMultiple sclerosis (MS) is the leading non-traumatic cause of severe acquired disability in young people. The disease is defined by relapses, which can affect all neurological functions depending on the location of the new inflammatory lesion(s). The disease can thus manifest itself through bladder and bowel disorders (BWS), which affect approximately 80% of MS patients in all stages. Lower urinary tract dysfunction has a significant negative impact on the quality of life of patients and places a significant burden on the healthcare system in terms of resource allocation. In addition, there is a risk of long-term chronic renal failure, an infectious risk (recurrent cystitis and/or pyelonephritis, sometimes life-threatening) and a lithiasis risk. The most frequently observed urinary symptoms are: urinary frequency, urgency with or without urinary incontinence, dysuria and chronic retention of urine. These disorders most often combine bladder hyperactivity and dysuria. This dysuria may be responsible for recurrent urinary tract infections, lithiasis, alteration of renal function. The only therapeutic class currently used to treat dysuria in MS is alpha-blockers. Tamsulosin, alfusozin and doxazosin induce relaxation of the urethral smooth sphincter and prostatic urethral muscle fibers, facilitating the removal of subvesical obstruction and bladder emptying. The study investigators hypothesize that treatment with tamsulosin 0.4 mg daily in adult MS patients with dysuria will result in symptom improvement as assessed by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Urinary Symptom Profile (USP) scores, a decrease in post-void residual, and an improvement in urine flow and quality of life.

Bladder Complaints in Parkinson's Disease Effectiveness of Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises and Electrical...
Lower Urinary Tract SymptomsParkinson DiseaseThe goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of pelvic physical therapy with different types of electrical stimulation(ES) for bladder complaints in people with Parkinson's disease. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the effect of pelvic physical therapy with ES for bladder complaints in people with Parkinson's disease. Secondary question: What is the most effective type of ES on bladder complaints in people with Parkinson's disease. Participants will be randomized into three groups. Two different kinds of ES and a sham group. Participants will receive eight session of pelvic physical therapy. Pelvic physical therapy consists of e.g. bladder training, pelvic floor muscle exercises and biofeedback.
AQUABEAM® Robotic System and Ultrasound Accessories
Benign Prostatic HyperplasiaLower Urinary Tract SymptomsLower urinary symptoms (LUTS) affect many older men and their frequency and severity increase with age. In the age group between 65 and 79 years the rate of men with moderate and severe LUTS is 20 - 25% (Hunter et al. 1994). The complaints are potentially associated with a considerable impairment of the quality of life (Trueman et al. 1999). LUTS in older men are commonly caused by a bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) secondary to benign prostatic enlargement (BPE). The histological term "benign prostatic hyperplasia" (BPH) is frequently used in literature and clinical practice as a synonym for this diagnosis. Surgical therapy of BPH has continuously evolved in recent years. One of the latest technologies for transurethral prostate desobstruction is the Aquablation therapy, first described in 2015 (AQUABEAM®, PROCEPT BioRobotics, Redwood Shores, CA, USA) (Faber et al 2015). The AQUABEAM Robotic System is the first and only image-guided, heat-free robotic therapy for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is designed for cutting of prostate tissue during a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Once inserted via a transurethral approach and advanced through the urethra and into the prostatic urethra, the device applies an ultrasound-guided water jet that precisely ablates the prostate tissue. Aquablation therapy is unique in that it combines cystoscopic visualization, ultrasound imaging and advanced planning software to provide the surgeon with a multidimensional view of the treatment area. This enables personalized treatment planning for the patient's unique anatomy, improved decisionmaking and real-time monitoring during the procedure. This prospective single-arm investigational clinical trial aims at assessing the efficacy and safety of the new generation of the AQUABEAM Robotic System (P1G3) and the Apogee 2300 Ultrasound System and compare the percentage of patients who are discharged the day of the surgery among different groups of BPH patients who undergo aquablation using the third generation of the AQUABEAM Robotic System.

Clinical Trial on the Effectiveness of TUMT Compared to PAE in Reducing Severe LUTS in Men With...
Prostatic HyperplasiaLower Urinary Tract SymptomsThe TUMT-PAE-1 trial is a randomised clinical trial aiming to compare the effectiveness of transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) with prostatic artery embolisation (PAE) in reducing urinary symptoms caused by prostate gland enlargement. The assessment will be done by patient reported and functional outcome measures. The primary purpose is to evaluate the urinary symptoms six months after the procedure, measured by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS).
