Active clinical trials for "Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms"

The objective of this exploratory pilot study is to assess whether Mirabegron (Myrbetriq™) will improve the quality of sleep and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in men and women presenting with LUTS and disordered sleep.

The knowledge of prevalence and risk factors of nocturnal polyuria might be important for the treatment of women with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Thus, our aim is to describe the prevalence and risk factors of nocturnal polyuria in women with LUTS.

Clean Intermittent Self-Catheterization (CISC) is a procedure of regularly emptying the bladder by introducing a single-use urinary catheter through the urethra. CISC are indicated in several situations in patients with neurological pathologies but also with urological or functional disorders. The announcement of the indication of CISC is often difficult and the acceptance of this therapy remains complicated, due to the invasive side, the dependence on a material and the time required to perform CISC. A few studies have assessed patient satisfaction and adherence to self-catheterization through quality of life questionnaires, but none have examined the impact of this technique on daily life through the duration of CISC. Primary aim is to evaluate the impact of time to perform CISC on patient adherence and satisfaction. Patients over 18 years old performed CISC for more than 1 month, exclusive or not, are included. History and treatment, age, professional activity, visuals disorders, technical aids for walking and the history of CISC with the date of initiation, the type of catheter, the carrier, the number of CISC per 24 hours, the position of realization, the use of a mirror and urethral sensitivity are recorded. Cognitive disorders, fatigue, psychological state, impact on quality of life are assessed on the day of the patient's consultation. The grip of the upper limbs is explored by Box and Block and Nine Hole Peg Test. The validated questionnaires,Intermittent Catheterization Satisfaction Questionnaire ( InCaSaQ), Intermittent Catheterization Difficulty Questionnaire (ICDQ), Intermittent Catheterization Adherence Scale (ICAS) are completed. At home, patients have to complete one calendar on the specific duration of a 24-hour self-catheterization and the next day a second calendar on the total duration of CISC Primary outcome is specific time of self-catheterization described by the timed duration from the moment when the circumstances of care are combined to carry it out : isolated place, nearby equipment. Secondary outcome is total time of self-catheterization described by the timed duration from the moment of the intention to self-catheter until the return to the initial activity. Influence of age, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (Moca), Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS), Box and Block and Nine Hole Peg Test, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Qualiveen Total,Intermittent Catheterization Satisfaction Questionnaire (InCaSaQ), Intermittent Catheterization Difficulty Questionnaire (ICDQ), Intermittent Catheterization Adherence Scale (ICAS) on time of self-catheterization are analysis.

This study evaluates the reproductibility (quantitative and qualitative) of cystometry in mutiple sclerosis patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine the validity of a screening tool which has been designed to detect the presence or absence of lower urinary tract symptoms in the general female population.

The main purpose of this study is to get the urethra and pelvic sonographic imaging by 4D ultrasound examinations, and to correlate the sonographic findings with urodynamic variables, pad weights and LUTS. Besides, the associations of the blood flow of vagina/urethra and sexual dysfunction can be explored.

Urodynamics is a comprehensive study of the lower urinary tract. Although the information obtained from urodynamics answers several questions and assists in guiding therapies for patients, the testing environments is unnatural and may be distressing for patients. This may impact the results of the study, as it is not uncommon for patients to be unable to void for the test due to their distress. Often to alleviate the distress, music or soothing noises are used in the background. The study aims to identify simple environmental factors which may improve patient experience with urodynamic testing. The population will include patients with existing appointments for urodynamics testing at the Mayo Urology Clinic. The investigators plan to assess patient satisfaction and comfort during this assessment using a visual analog scale questionnaire. The environmental variables will include music of the patients' preference, the sound of running water, or no background noise at all. By asking patients to complete a questionnaire, The investigators will be able to assess ways to improve patient comfort in a commonly used urologic assessment.

The purpose of this study is to advance the understanding of people who experience urinary and bladder problems. The investigators are interested in learning about people's experiences with urinary symptoms and how these symptoms will be managed. The investigators want to understand the important differences among people and what factors affect urinary and bladder problems. After all of the information is collected, the investigators will have a better understanding of how to improve the care and treatment for people who have urinary and bladder problems.

Non-neurogenic male lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS) is one of the most common symptom presented in urological clinic. Male LUTS could be a result of a combination of many different conditions, including benign prostate hypertrophy, overactive bladder, diabetes, noctural polyuria, sleep apnoea etc. Also male LUTS has shown to have close relationship with metabolic and cardiovascular conditions. Because of the increasing evidences to suggest a close relationship of cardiovascular condition and metabolic problems and male LUTS, this is a study to retrospective review of the patients assessed in this urology clinic and have a more in-depth assessment of the relationship of the baseline characteristics of these medical conditions with the presenting symptoms, as well as the long term urological and overall clinical outcomes of these patients.

Storage symptoms include frequency, urgency, nocturia and incontinence. Based on bladder diaries, we could get the objective data of the above symptoms. To the best of our knowledge, there is lack of correlation of quality of life with lower urinary tract symptoms based on bladder diaries. Thus, we aimed to perform the study.
