Active clinical trials for "Urinary Bladder, Neurogenic"

This phase 0 trial tests the feasibility, functionality, and sustainability of vascularized composite bladder allograft transplantation in treating patients with terminal bladder pathology. A vascularized bladder allograft transplantation may provide a more durable and better-tolerated alternative to standard urinary diversion, which employs bowel. A robotic surgical approach will be employed.

A randomized controlled trial (RCT). To evaluate the efficacy of SNM for patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) having refractory neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (nLUTD). After a two-step procedure patients (n=60) with more than 50% improvement in the key bladder diary variables will be randomized after implantation of pulse generator (IPG) for sacral neuromodulation, ON or OFF, for four months.

The purpose of this study is to determine if electric stimulation to the leg, called transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS), can improve bladder outcomes in acute spinal cord injury.

The purpose of this study is to establish if concomitant renal and vascularized urinary bladder allograft transplantation is feasible.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Oxybutynin Chloride 10% Topical Gel in children 3 to less than 17 years old, who have overactive bladder due to a neurogenic condition. Children will be treated with 0.75 g of gel/day for two weeks. Patients will then return to the clinic for a potential dose titration. At this time their dose may be adjusted up to 1g/day, down to 0.5g/day, or remain the same at 0.75g of gel/day depending on the individual response and tolerability. The total treatment time is 14 weeks and total time on the study is 16 weeks.

Bladder pain and urgency are common after bladder surgery. The objective is to determine if transdermal administration is superior to oral administration in alleviating pain and urgency.

To explore acupuncture under the premise of real-time, dynamic and accurate positioning of Ba liao point with ultrasound, observe the clinical efficacy of treating neurogenic bladder, clarify the essence of acupoints, and provide a new method for the standardization of acupuncture and moxibustion.

Neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury can be divided into detrusor hyperreflexia and detrusor non reflexia. Acupuncture is recognized as a safe and effective treatment. The most commonly used acupoints are Guanyuan, Zhongji and Sanyinjiao. The purpose of this study is to clarify the therapeutic effects of different acupoints on different types of bladder. Main process: routine urodynamic examination was performed first, and then electroacupuncture was given to Guanyuan, Zhongji and Sanyinjiao points respectively, and urodynamic examination was performed again to observe the effect of Electroacupuncture on urodynamic parameters in real time.

Neurogenic overactive bladder (NOAB), characterized by urinary frequency, urgency or urgency incontinence symptoms occurring during the storage phase of the bladder, is the most common urinary complaint in multiple sclerosis (MS). Current management options for NOAB in MS have limited efficacy and considerable adverse effects, which underscores the significance of this study and highlights the need for better, less invasive therapies. This novel study investigates brain therapeutic targets that could shift the focus of NOAB management in MS from a bladder-centric focus to brain restoration; specifically modulating the brain regions identified in the prior functional magnetic resonance imagining studies. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation that can modulate neurons (excite or inhibit) to improve the connectivity of the regions of interest (ROI). The preliminary data demonstrate, for the first time, significant improvement in bladder symptoms in ten women with MS who have voiding dysfunction following multifocal transcranial magnetic stimulation without any treatment-related adverse effects. This randomized double-blind, sham-controlled single center clinical trial with an optional open-label extension (OLE) phase is designed to evaluate the effects of targeted rTMS in women with MS and NOAB by investigating restorative reorganization of brain function The main purpose of this study is to determine the effects of individualized repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) for improving overactive bladder symptoms such as urinary frequency and urgency with or without incontinence in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Patients will undergo initial screening that includes a demographics information, physical exam, past medical and surgical history, medication list, urine pregnancy test (female subjects with childbearing potential), and completion of questionnaires to confirm the eligibility of patients. All eligible patients will be required to complete a functional MRI scan followed by locating the regions of interest through neural navigation system and finally receiving 10 treatment sessions. Since this is a randomized trial, some patients will receive active treatment/ therapy sessions while others will only receive sham or placebo treatments. The total duration to complete all treatment sessions and follow up visits is approximately 4-5 months.

Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) develop neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO), resulting in urinary incontinence, decreased bladder capacity, and reduced quality of life. Current treatments incompletely address the problem and have unwanted side effects. Therefore, an alternative approach is needed. Electrical stimulation of the genital nerves (GNS) can inhibit NDO, improving bladder capacity and urinary continence. However, an automated closed-loop bladder feedback system, which currently does not exist, is necessary for individuals with SCI and NDO to utilize this therapy. The researchers have developed a custom algorithm to detect bladder contractions in real time, which requires only a bladder pressure signal. Our collaborators have developed a wireless, catheter-free bladder pressure sensor, called the UroMonitor, that was recently approved for testing in human participants. The goal of this project is to evaluate the potential feasibility and effectiveness of automated closed-loop GNS to inhibit unwanted bladder contractions using our custom algorithm and the wireless UroMonitor sensor. This project represents the next logical step toward improving or restoring bladder control using existing or emerging approaches to meet an important need for individuals with SCI. Successful completion of this project will motivate advancing a closed-loop approach using our custom algorithm and wireless bladder pressure sensor.
