Active clinical trials for "Nocturia"

Neurogenic 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

The purpose of this study is to assess psychometric properties (reliability and validity) of the Nocturia Impact (NI) diary. To assess the association between reduction of number of nocturnal voids and the mean changes in NI scores (sensitivity of the NI total score to change in nocturia). To assess which NI diary items account for the main difference in change in total NI score in treatment versus placebo.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of two different dose levels of desmopressin orally disintegrating tablets against placebo for the treatment of nocturia in adult men during 12 weeks treatment

The purpose of this study is to describe the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of VA106483 in female subjects.

Nocturia is defined as waking one or more times to void during the period between going to bed with the intention of sleeping and waking with the intention of arising.The pathophysiology of nocturia is multifactorial and can be complex. Therefore it is important to adopt a systematic approach to identify the possible causal factors of nocturia and to treat them accordingly. Patients with nocturia can be categorized as having one of the following three disorders: (1) nocturnal polyuria (NP) in which the voided urine volume during the hours of sleep exceeds 35% of the 24-hr output, (2) low nocturnal bladder capacity (NBC) causing a nocturnal urinary volume greater than the bladder capacity, (3) or mixed nocturia, a combination of the preceding two categories. Desmopressin, a synthetic analogue of the antidiuretic hormone (ADH), has been used for many years to treat diabetes insipidus and primary nocturnal enuresis.More recently, it is also known to be effective against nocturia with NP by decreasing night-time urine production.However, it may be associated with an increased risk of developing hyponatremia due to water retention, especially in elderly patients.In the present study, we investigated the safety and efficacy of oral desmopressin for the treatment of mixed nocturia in patients with both NP and a low NBC.

This is a multi-centre, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group comparative trial to be conducted in nocturia patients. The trial is designed to characterize the dose-response relationship of Minirin (desmopressin) Melt in order to establish correct dose recommendations in the target patient population. In particular, the trial is designed to link the duration of action to the clinical endpoint. Furthermore, the trial is designed to describe the safety of four different dose levels of desmopressin.

This is a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with two weeks of daily oral administration of one of three dose levels of Paxerol or placebo in subjects with nocturia. Eligible study subjects will be identified according to inclusion/exclusion criteria (see below), and baseline assessments will be recorded. Due to small sample size of 25 patients per group in this proof-of-principle dosing-finding trial, stratification according to gender and BMI will be difficult. However, similar distribution of patient types to the four treatment groups will be attempted by evenly assigning patients to the four treatment groups according to genders and body mass index (BMI) of <25, 25-30 and 30-40. Paxerol or placebo will be taken 30 minutes before bedtime daily for two weeks. Nocturia frequency, Nocturia Quality of Life (NQOL), Duration of First Undisturbed Sleep (DFUS), total hours of nightly sleep, safety and tolerability will be monitored before and after a two-week treatment period. Results from subjects treated with different doses of Paxerol and placebo will be assessed and compared. Baseline urinary Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production will also be assayed to assess potential correlation between baseline urinary PGE2 production and responsiveness to Paxerol treatment.

The objective of this study is to find out what the pharmacodynamic (PD) characteristics of desmopressin melt are in nocturia patients (compared to healthy volunteers and children). The main questions the investigators want to answer are: Are differences related to the pathophysiological factors involved in nocturia? Are there age/gender/size differences? Can the investigators identify patients who are likely to develop hyponatraemia? Can the investigators individualize treatment and reduce risk for hyponatraemia? The patient will be given a prescription to buy Minirin Melt 60µg at the local pharmacy. During 30 days, the patient has to take Minirin Melt 60µg in the evening before going to bed. There are two groups of patients: Group A: Patients that still have to undergo an evaluation phase, according to standard procedures (e.g. osmolality test, blood sample). This procedure is not a part of this study. The study starts when the 1st Minirin Melt tablet has been taken (= day 1). Group B: This group already went through the evaluation phase (by participation to study 1 or study 3 as mentioned above) and they have been prescribed Minirin Melt 60 µg ambulatory. The study starts when the patients takes his first prescribed Minirin Melt tablet: On day 3 and day 7 a blood sample will be taken at the UZ Ghent for safety control (Na+, K+, creatinin, osmolality = good clinical practice guideline). These first 2 visits (day 3 and day 7) are standard procedure. If the patient is at high risk for side effects, blood has to be taken during the first 7 days. On day 3 the patient has to give a urine sample. Patients have to fill out a frequency/volume chart during the first 14 days. On day 30, a 3rd blood sample will be taken

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of SER120 nasal spray formulations in patients with nocturia for a total duration of 14 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to establish the dose response relationship of VA106483 and nocturnal urine volumes in a population of elderly male subjects with Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) who are likely to present with nocturia.
