RISE FOR HEALTH Study
Lower Urinary Tract SymptomsThe RISE FOR HEALTH study (RISE) is an initiative of the Prevention of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (PLUS) Research Consortium, which was formed by the NIDDK in 2015 to develop the science to improve bladder health in women and girls. RISE is designed to identify risk and protective factors for bladder health and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and to estimate the distributions of bladder health and bladder health knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs in women of all ages across the life course. This will be accomplished by conducting a population-based prospective cohort study. A sample of individuals who live within the study base, i.e., the county containing each PLUS clinical research center and each adjacent county, will be invited to complete two baseline surveys and then two follow-up surveys one year later. A subset of participants will be invited to attend an in-person evaluation to collect additional clinical information and biologic specimens.

A Study to Establish the Feasibility of Biolen for the Local Delivery of Bicalutamide in Patients...
Prostate AdenocarcinomaLower Urinary Tract SymptomsBiolen, a novel implant, is intended to deliver an anti-androgen locally to the prostate gland for the management of prostate disease, while minimizing systemic exposure and its associated side-effects. The objectives of the study are to assess whether the Biolen is safe.
Feasibility Study of Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation for Urinary Symptoms in People With...
Bladder DysfunctionNeurogenic Bladder Dysfunction11 moreNeurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction is common among people with Multiple sclerosis with a pooled prevalence of 68.41% using self-report measures and 63.95% using urodynamic studies. Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TTNS) is a non-invasive treatment option to manage bladder storage symptoms, however, the potential efficacy of TTNS among people with multiple sclerosis is based on a small number of studies with the absence of high-quality evidence relating to efficacy, and lack of clarity of the optimal electrical stimulation parameters and frequency, duration and number of treatment sessions. The feasibility and acceptability of TTNS to manage storage bladder symptoms using Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) needs to be established before proceeding with a definitive randomised trial. This study aims to assess whether TTNS is feasible and acceptable as a treatment for bladder storage symptoms in people with MS
Wireless, Implantable Tibial Nerve Stimulator System for the Treatment of Refractory Lower Urinary...
Multiple SclerosisRelapsing-RemittingPrevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) increases with disease duration. Current management of urinary clinical symptoms in MS is mainly conservative. Its long-term outcome is often poor because of the progressive disease course and the treatment related side effects. Alternative therapeutic options are botulinum toxin injections, electrical stimulation of dorsal penile/clitoral nerve, and sacral nerve modulation. Posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) is a second minimally invasive method of electrical stimulation. Multiple benefits may derive from the development and validation of a dedicated protocol of a new self-activated neuromodulation therapy, which may improve therapy compliance/effectiveness, quality of life and social life in MS patients with refractory LUTS. Furthermore, it may contribute to reduce outpatient visits, health costs and work absenteeism.
