Active clinical trials for "Nocturia"

Study to assess efficacy, tolerability and safety parameters of a three month ALNA®OCAS® -treatment with special respect to nocturia

Few studies have reported the efficacy of repetitive education for behavioral modification as the first-line therapy for patients with nocturnal polyuria (NPU). The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of repetitive education for behavioral modification as the first-line therapy in the patients with NPU and to show whether a single education for behavioral modification is sufficient for the patients.

This is an observational, pilot, non-treatment study to evaluate and develop clinical variables for distinguishing female OAB subjects that have detrusor overactivity positive (DO+) nocturia from female OAB subjects that have detrusor overactivity negative (DO-) nocturia utilizing a sleep laboratory setting.

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.

Idiopathic edema (IE) is an ill-defined syndrome of uncertain etiology that occurs virtually exclusively in women. It has also been referred to as cyclical edema, periodic edema, fluid retention syndrome and orthostatic edema. The present studies were designed to 1. Improve our ability to identify patients with idiopathic edema by extending the clinical criteria from an increase in weight of > 1.4 kg between 8 AM to 10 PM to the inclusion of nocturia, a very important component to the history. Additional aims are to: 2. Demonstrate orthostatic weight gain with or without edema in idiopathic edema and autonomic failure that will identify a greater number of patients suffering from variable degrees of weight gain and compare to controls or other conditions associated with edema. The study will focus mainly on subjects with polycystic ovaries and autonomic failure. 3. Provide a reasonable course of therapy that is presently not well defined. 4. Provide evidence that orthostatic edema or weight gain has two common etiologies, a. an increase in vascular membrane as in idiopathic edema and b. pooling of blood in the lower extremities in autonomic failure due to a lack of vascular tone.

To estimate the prevalence of nocturia due to nocturnal polyuria (NP) in the US and describe the demographic and clinical characteristics as well as the burden of illness in participants with nocturia due to NP.

The objective of this study is to validate the spanish (from Spain) version of the "Nocturia Quality of Life Questionnaire and assess their psychometric properties, using the spanish translation provided by the copyright holder. Internal consistency (measured by Alpha cronbach coefficient), Reproductibility (measured by Intraclass Correlation Coefficient), Convergent Validity (assessed using other already validate questionnaires such the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), King's Health and Pittsburgh Sleeps Quality Index questionnaires) and Discriminant Validity will be evaluated.

This is an exploratory study, to evaluate the improvement in terms of quality of life that can be reached by a group of outpatients with BPH ( Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia ) and nocturia when they are under treatment with Secotex Ocas. This study will explore, the progress in terms of quality of life that can be reached by a group of outpatients with BPH ( Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) and nocturia treated with Secotex OCAS®. This is a not controlled study, " before and after type", which will consist of an assessment, of the quality of life for outpatients with BPH symptoms including nocturia, through the use of the Spanish version of the Nocturia Quality-of-life (NQoL) questionnaire, at three different moments: Before to start Secotex OCAS® treatment. Thirty (30) days after first visit and starting Secotex OCAS® treatment Ninethy (90) days after first visit and starting Secotex Ocas® treatment

We aim to observe the unwanted effects of nightshift work and short term insomnia on erectile function of men aged between 25 to 60 years. We will also compare the levels of serum testosterone in the target group and compare it with the ones who don't work in hightshifts.

In our experience, women with severe pelvic organ prolapse (POP) frequently have bothersome nocturia. The International Continence Society (ICS) defines nocturia as "having to wake at night one or more times to void." Though some of this nocturia may be secondary to obstructed bladder emptying, the investigators hypothesize that in some women compression of the bilateral ureters due to prolapsed pelvic organs during the day and subsequent relief of that prolapse while the patient lays supine overnight results in nighttime post-obstructive diuresis (inability to concentrate urine) and resultant large nighttime urine volumes and nocturia. Previous case reports have proposed that vaginal and uterine vault prolapse causes obstruction due to descent of the bladder floor which leads to compression of the bilateral ureters between the uterus and the borders of the genital opening. No large prospective studies, however, have evaluated the possible impact of this phenomenon on patients or the possible post-operative changes following surgical correction of POP. Using the Nocturnal Enuresis, and Sleep interruption Questionnaire (NNES-Q), voiding diaries, and urine studies, the investigators aim to evaluate the pre-operative and post-operative voiding habits and urinary parameters of women with severe pelvic organ prolapse and bothersome nocturia who undergo colpocleisis. Colpocleisis is a procedure which surgically obliterates the vaginal lumen to treat severe POP in properly counseled patients with >90% satisfaction rates. Other treatments offered to women, such as the laparoscopic or open sacrocolpopexy, uterosacral ligament suspension, and sacrospinous ligament suspension, also offer high rates of success. The investigators aim to determine whether surgical correction of severe pelvic organ prolapse, to be defined as either with colpocleisis, laparoscopic or open sacrocolpopexy, uterosacral ligament suspension, or sacrospinous ligament suspension, results in improvement and/or resolution of nocturia and post-obstructive diuresis.
