Preoperative Use of Darifenacin (Enablex) to Alleviate Postoperative Ureteral Stent Pain
Overactive BladderRenal Colic2 moreThis will be a randomized two arm prospective study to evaluate postoperative ureteral stent pain. One arm will be given 3 days of preoperative darifenacin and the control group will have the standard of care which is no preoperative anticholinergic medication. The primary endpoints will be decreased pain scores and less ER visits and hospital admissions for stent difficulty. These will be assessed by a pain diary completed by the participant as well as a questionnaire when the participant returns to clinic for stent removal. Also included in evaluation of the primary end point will be patient phone calls, ER visits and admissions for stent difficulty. Secondary endpoints will be narcotic and postoperative anticholinergic use. This will also be assessed with the pain diary completed by the participant. Participants will be included in the study if they are undergoing a procedure that a stent will likely be required. This will include participants who will have ureteroscopy or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and a stone 1 cm or larger. Also participants with stones smaller than 1 cm who due to anatomy of the ureter or kidney will likely need a stent on preoperative evaluation will also be included in the study. Included as well in the study are participants who will undergo renal or ureteral surgery that a ureteral stent will be utilized. Participants will be randomized after consent is obtained into two groups. One group will receive standard of care which is no preoperative anticholinergic medications. The second group will receive the three day treatment with darifenacin pre procedure. Participants in the second group will be instructed on side effects of darifenacin and given appropriate contact information prior to initiation of the medication. Both groups will be followed postoperatively with a pain diary. Postoperative follow up will continue until the stent is removed 1-2 weeks after the procedure. The exact time of stent removal will depend on the success and nature of the surgery and will be at the discretion of the surgeon. Participants will be able to voluntarily stop the medication for any reason as well as if they have serious side effects from the medication. Data to be collected from each group includes age, gender, race, prior ureteral stents, prior renal or ureteral surgery, past medical history, allergies, current medications and urinary complaints.
Study of Darifenacin in Patients Suffering From Multiple Sclerosis and Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity...
Multiple SclerosisOveractive DetrusorThe objective of this study is to explore the effects of darifenacin in patients with multiple sclerosis and neurogenic detrusor overactivity. The efficacy, safety and tolerability of darifenacin are already well established in idiopathic detrusor overactivity. Patients with multiple sclerosis and neurogenic detrusor overactivity without detrusor-sphincter-dyssynergia (DSD) will be allocated to darifenacin therapy.
Web-based Methodology Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Tolterodine ER in Subjects With...
Overactive BladderTo compare the effect of tolterodine ER 4 mg to placebo on patient reported outcomes in subjects with overactive bladder after 1, 4, and 12 weeks of treatment using an innovative web-based trial design
Safety and Efficacy of AV608 in Subjects With Idiopathic Detrusor Overactivity
Overactive Bladder SyndromeThe purpose of this study is to assess the effects of AV608, a neurokinin 1 (NK-1) antagonist, in subjects with Idiopathic Detrusor Overactivity.
Pelvic Floor Muscle Training With Leva System for Urge Incontinence
Overactive BladderUrge Urinary Incontinence1 moreThis is a pilot non-comparative study to assess the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training guided by the leva® system for improving change in subject-reported incontinence-related quality of life and urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) episode frequency based on voiding diaries in women at 8 weeks.
Foot/Hand Neuromodulation for Overactive Bladder (OAB)
Overactive BladderThe purpose of this study is to determine if electrical stimulation of the foot is effective in the treatment of overactive bladder conditions.
Oxybutynin and Omega-3 for OAB (Overactive Bladder)
Overactive BladderWe aim to evaluate whether the addition of Omega-3 fatty acids to oxybutynin, a standard first-line treatment for overactive bladder syndrome, will improve symptoms and quality of life. Secondarily, we will evaluate whether Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce the adverse effects of oxybutynin. Hypothesis Primary: Omega-3 will enhance the beneficial role of oxybutynin in the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) Secondary: Omega-3 will reduce the side effects of dry eyes and constipation associated with oxybutynin
A Study of the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Vibegron (MK-4618) in Women With Overactive...
Overactive BladderOveractive Urinary BladderThe study is designed to investigate the effects of the investigational drug vibegron (MK-4618) compared to placebo on maximum urinary bladder capacity in women with overactive bladder. The study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple oral doses of vibegron in women with overactive bladder. Overactive bladder is best described as urgency and frequency of urination, with or without involuntary urination and/or the need to awaken during the night to urinate. The primary efficacy hypothesis is that vibegron is superior to placebo with respect to change from baseline in maximum cystometric capacity at 2 hours postdose on Day 7 (i.e., steady state) in participants with overactive bladder. A true mean increase (vibegron/placebo) of 25% in bladder volume is expected. The primary safety hypothesis is that administration of multiple oral doses of vibegron is sufficiently well-tolerated in participants with overactive bladder, based on assessment of clinical and laboratory adverse experiences, to permit continued clinical investigation.
Safety and Efficacy of Intravesical Botulinum Toxin in TC-3 Gel in OAB Patients
Overactive BladderThis is a single arm pilot study evaluating the feasibility and preliminary safety of a single intravesical instillation of TC-3 gel mixed with botulinum toxin (BTX) for symptomatic improvement in overactive bladder patients.
Comparison of Caffeine Reduction and Anticholinergic Medications for Treatment of Overactive Bladder...
Overactive BladderThe purpose of this study is to assess the effects of caffeine reduction/elimination on urinary symptoms in women with overactive bladders and compare this therapeutic approach to anticholinergic therapy. We hope to show a reduction in symptoms with caffeine reduction and determine how effective caffeine reduction is compared to medication. If caffeine reduction is shown to be beneficial, women may be encouraged to use this strategy before resorting to medications.
