Lymphoedema and Nocturia/ Nocturnal Polyuria After Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection for Urogenital Cancer...
Lower Limb LymphedemaUrogenital CancerAfter the treatment of urogenital cancer, a person may develop lymphoedema of the leg(s) and/ or midline region. Lymphoedema is the result of a dysfunction in the lymphatic system and is characterized by excessive retention of lymphatic fluid in the interstitial compartment, adipose deposition and chronic tissue inflammation resulting in fibrosis. Clinical symptoms include abnormal tissue swelling, sensation of limb heaviness, erythema, pain, and impaired limb function. The added value of manual lymph drainage, applied in patients with mild (early) lower limb lymphoedema and in addition to skin care, exercises and a compression stocking, has never been investigated. Therefore, the objective of this randomised controlled pilot trial is to investigate the feasibility of a trial about the added value of manual lymph drainage (to skin care, exercises and wearing compression stocking) in patients with mild (early) lower limb lymphoedema. In fact, the investigators want to determine the sample size for a trial investigating the effectiveness of MLD and want to investigate the feasibility of the study design.
Safety and Performance of UCon for the Treatment of the Symptoms of Overactive Bladder (OAB) / Bowel...
Urinary IncontinenceFecal Incontinence8 moreThis clinical investigation is a single-arm, prospective, multicentre, early feasibility study, which is used to evaluate the device design of UCon with respect to initial clinical safety and device performance in a small number of subjects. UCon is a medical device for treatment of the symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) and bowel disorders (BD). It electrically stimulates the dorsal genital nerve (DGN) through the skin to obtain modulated behaviour of the bladder/bowel musculature e.g., suppress undesired bladder/bowel activity to relieve the symptoms of the patient.
Post-procedural Pain Associated With 5 Versus 20 Intravesical Injections of Onabotulinumtoxin A...
Urinary BladderOveractive7 moreCurrently, in clinical practice there has been no standardization in the number of injections a single dose of intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxin A is administered in. Given the increasing use of this treatment modality, the aim of this study is to compare outcomes for patients given a 100 unit dose of onabotulinumtoxin A split into 5 as compared to 20 injections for the treatment of overactive bladder or urgency urinary incontinence refractory to medical treatment.
Mandibular Advancement Device and Changes in Nocturia
Obstructive Sleep ApneaNocturia1 moreThe main purpose of this study is to test is mandibular advacenment device (MAD) use is associated with reductions in nocturia.
Effect of Behavioral Sleep Intervention on Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Older Women
Urgency Urinary IncontinenceNocturiaUrgency urinary incontinence (UUI) is common in older people and vastly reduces quality of life, yet the cause and mechanism of disease are not well understood. This study will investigate the role of adding behavioral sleep intervention to the standard pharmacotherapy in treatment of UUI among older adults, and the brain mechanisms involved in continence by evaluating brain changes. This will expand the current knowledge of how the sleep affects bladder control, and better characterize the brain mechanisms in maintaining continence.
Head-up Tilt Sleeping to Alleviate Orthostatic Hypotension, Supine Hypertension and Nocturia in...
Parkinson DiseaseParkinsonismAutonomic dysfunction is common and often underrecognized in Parkinson's disease (PD). Orthostatic hypotension (OH) affects up to a third of PD patients and often coincides with supine hypertension. This co-occurrence complicates pharmacological treatment as treatment of one can negatively affect the other. Head-up tilt sleeping (HUTS) could improve both. This phase II randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of this understudied intervention, leading to optimal implementation strategies.

UCon Treatment of Overactive Bladder (OAB) in Males
Urinary IncontinenceUrge Incontinence6 moreUCon is a medical device for treatment of the symptoms of OAB and fecal incontinence (FI). It electrically stimulates the DGN through the skin to obtain modulated behaviour of the bladder musculature e.g., suppress undesired bladder activity to relieve the symptoms of the patient. This clinical investigation is a randomized, cross-over, single-site, prospective, early feasibility study, which is used to evaluate Ucon with respect to its initial clinical safety and device performance in a small number of males with OAB.
TEST-ON - Does iStim Reduce Urinary Urgency?
Overactive BladderUrgency-frequency Syndrome1 moreOveractive bladder (OAB) is a chronic disorder with an overall prevalence in the adult population of over 10%, but that may exceed 40% in elderly groups. Most overactive bladder treatments are aimed at decreasing urgency incontinence episodes. The purpose of this study is to determine whether an at-home transvaginal electrical stimulation (TES) program works to alleviate symptoms of urgency in patients with urinary urgency and frequency without incontinence. This is a cross-over trial. Women >18 yo presenting with OAB-dry will be randomized to receive one of two TES at home programs for 4 weeks. After completion of the program, the participant's symptoms will be assessed with standardized patient questionnaires. There will then be a 3 week washout period followed by the second at-home TES program. At the completion of the second program, the participant's symptoms will be assessed with the same standardized questionnaires. The participants will be followed for 6 months following the completion of the TES program.
Sleep, Hypertension, and Nocturia: a Multicomponent Approach for Comorbid Illnesses
NocturiaHypertension1 moreIn this study the investigators target three common and comorbid illnesses among older adults namely nocturia or waking at night to void, poor sleep and hypertension. The aim of this proposal is to test behavioral sleep intervention to improve sleep and nocturia vs switching the time of antihypertensive administration to improve nighttime and in turn daytime blood pressure control.
