Active clinical trials for "Urinary Bladder, Overactive"

Solifenacin succinate as a tablet formulation is already on the market for the treatment of symptoms of overactive bladder in adults. For the use in children and adolescent patients a new formulation of solifenacin has been developed. This study investigated the effect and safety of solifenacin succinate liquid suspension compared to a non-active drug (placebo) over a 12-week period. The 2 weeks prior to the double blind period was a single-blind placebo run-in period in combination with behavioral urotherapy (Non-interventional diary assisted urotherapy consisting of overactive bladder (OAB) information, awareness, instruction, life-style advice and documentation of voiding habits and symptoms for OAB), followed by a 12 week daily treatment period. The study also investigated how well solifenacin succinate suspension is taken-up by the body and how long it stays in the body during this time.

To investigate the efficacy and safety of KUC-7483 in overactive bladder patients.

The investigators purpose is to perform a pilot study evaluating the efficacy in hypnotherapy in treating women with Overactive Bladder Symptoms (urinary urgency symptoms and urinary frequency). Approximately half the women in the study will receive "standard care" (performing a voiding diary, Pelvic Floor exercises, and timed voiding) and the other half will receive "standard care" and 3 hypnotherapy sessions. The investigators will compare the groups using a validated overactive bladder questionnaire and compare voiding diaries to evaluate urinary frequency at the end of the sessions/study completion.

This is a phase IV, double-blind, multicenter, randomized trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of two M3 receptors antagonists (Trospium Chloride and Darifenacin Hydrobromide) with one standard drug (Oxybutynin Chloride) for treatment of overactive bladder in individuals with spinal cord injury.

The objective of this prospective study is to determine the incidence of mycoplasma in women with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms and whether antibiotic therapy targeting these organisms is effective.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the rate of "add-on" solifenacin treatment and its persistency in men with over active bladder symptoms after tamsulosin monotherapy for 4 weeks.

Urinary urgency is a key symptom of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) and may be more bothersome to a patient than the symptom of urinary frequency. Unfortunately, controversy continues to surround the term 'urgency' and there is no good tool to evaluate the severity of urgency. This fact has constrained the performance of clinical research in this field. The cause of urinary urgency is not fully understood and may vary from patient to patient. Although clinicians regularly obtain measures of bladder sensation during cystometry, little attention has been paid to the patient experience of urinary urgency. In this study, the researchers will use a non-significant risk device (i.e., an Urgeometer) to measure urinary urgency in women with overactive bladder.

Overactive bladder (OAB) is defined as "urgency, with or without urge incontinence, usually with frequency and nocturia" in the absence of local pathological or endocrine factors. Urgency is defined as "the complaint of a sudden compelling desire to pass urine that is difficult to defer" and an abnormal sensation that is distinctly different from the normal physiologic feeling of 'urge to void' that occurs during typical bladder-filling cycles. Because up to 50% of patients with OAB experience urgency without incontinence, and because urgency is the most bothersome symptom that drives behavioral adaptations such as frequent voiding because of the very fear of urgency, this is the cornerstone symptom of OAB that indicates the diagnosis of OAB. Even though any effective treatment for OAB must reduce the patient's sense of urgency, its subjective nature makes it difficult to measure. Therefore, the clinical efficacy of OAB treatment was traditionally measured in terms of objective surrogate parameters instead of urgency itself: for example, change in urinary frequency, incontinent episodes, number of pads and urodynamically proven detrusor overactivity, which could be measured easily and quantifiably. Recently, several methods that measure urgency have been developed and used in clinical practice. However, the analysis questioned the clinical significance of the results; a possible reason for this being the lack of data based on urinary urgency and the use of sensitive patient-driven criteria. Propiverine hydrochloride (1-methyl-4-piperidyl diphenylpropoxyacetate hydrochloride) is a drug with combined antimuscarinic and calcium antagonistic actions. Previous trials on the clinical efficacy and safety of propiverine for treating patients with OAB have reported improvements in urinary frequency and incontinence, but not in urgency. The aim of this study was to explore the efficacy of a daily regimen of propiverine at 20 mg (immediate release formulation) in improving urgency from baseline to 12 weeks of treatment in patients with OAB.

Prospective, double-blind, double-randomised, 2-arm parallel group study. Optimal dose increase. Primary efficacy assessment of OAB symptoms by patient diaries.

The study was conducted between 2004 and 2006 to prove efficacy and tolerability of the antimuscarinic propiverine compared to placebo in children suffering from non-neurogenic overactive bladder and urinary incontinence.
