Active clinical trials for "Urinary Bladder, Overactive"

An altered urinary microbiome (UM) may explain the symptoms in overactive bladder (OAB) patients who were previously considered to have "idiopathic" OAB. To date, most research on the relationship between OAB and the UM has focused on differentiating between the UM of a normal bladder and that of an OAB bladder. There is currently a paucity of data on the way that OAB therapy impacts the UM. One of the few studies to evaluate the UM pre- and post-OAB treatment focused on how management with solifenacin affected the UM, but no studies have evaluated how intravesical onabotulinumtoxin A injections (IOI) affects the UM. Understanding IOI's impact on the UM is particularly interesting because despite both anticholinergics and IOI exerting antimuscarinic affects on the bladder, IOI is often successful when anticholinergics are not. This raises the question of what other mechanisms of action IOI may have in the bladders of OAB patients - one hypothesis is that it might stabilize the UM in those select patients who suffer from OAB due to an altered UM. The primary objective of this study is therefore to determine the UM profiles of OAB patients before and after treatment with IOI.

This study is being done to evaluate the use of a new technology (urine proteomics) - the study of proteins in the urine to identify urine markers of overactive bladder (OAB) from a simple voided urine specimen.

This study is to evaluate change of over active bladder symptom scores (OABSS) between, before and after solifenacin treatment to OAB subjects.

The objective of this surveillance is to collect information about 1) adverse drug reaction not expected from the Package Insert (unknown adverse drug reaction), 2) the incidence of adverse drug reactions in this surveillance, and 3) factors considered to affect the safety and/or efficacy of this drug.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether swallowing has an effect on the degree of urinary urgency and on the amplitude of detrusor contraction during filling cystometry in patients with detrusor overactivity (DO).

This is a observational study in patients treated with fesoterodine (Toviaz), who have failed on previous treatment for overactive bladder. It will collect epidemiological data and investigate the efficacy and tolerability of fesoterodine.

Aims: To evaluate changes in levels of ADRB3, ROCK2, and GEF which have key roles in the adrenergic and cholinergic pathways of contraction-relaxation harmony in voiding physiology, and to investigate the diagnostic potential of these proteins in OAB. Methods: This study included 60 idiopathic OAB patients and a healthy control group. All patients completed a validated OAB-V8 questionnaire. Serum levels of ADRB3, ROCK2, and GEF were examined by ELISA. ROC curves were generated to evaluate the diagnostic performance of these protein levels for OAB diagnosis.

Sexual dysfunction affects approximately 45% of women with an even greater incidence reported in women with overactive bladder symptoms, despite this there is a lack of FDA approved treatments for sexual dysfunction in this population. While both medical therapy and electrical neuromodulation have been shown to improve urinary function as well as sexual function, there is a dearth of literature about their comparative effectiveness in the latter. The purpose of this study is to examine the comparative effectiveness of neuromodulation via percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) and medical therapy with anticholinergics or beta-agonists in improving female sexual function. This will be a prospective multi-center cohort study comparing improvement in sexual function as measured by the female sexual function index (FSFI). It is hypothesized that PTNS will improve sexual function to a greater degree than medical therapy as there may be mechanisms by which PTNS directly affects sexual function. Enhanced understanding of the effects of neuromodulation and medical therapy on sexual function may allow for improved patient selection and better outcomes which may lead to widespread use of neuromodulation for female sexual dysfunction.

Urinary incontinence (UI) and overactive bladder (OAB) in women has high prevalence which is increasing with the age. In adults aged 40 and older in the US demonstrated prevalence rate of 27.2% among man and 43.1% among women, respectively. Urine Incontinence was reported to affect 15% of women ages 40 to 49, 25% ages 60 to 69, and 38% of women age 80 and older.

In present study, we aimed to investigate the association between visceral adiposity index and overactive bladder symptoms in female patients aged over 18 years.Between January-2015 and July-2017, 151 female patient with overactive bladder symptoms were evaluated in Recep Tayyip Erdogan University Training and Research Hospital Urology Department. Antropometric and laboratory features including serum lipid levels, AST, ALT, fasting glucose levels, and also urodynamic findings were recorded. Visceral adiposity index was calculated according to gender-specific formula. Participants were divided into two groups according to 7,55 cut-off level for visceral adiposity index levels. Statistical significance were discussed between two groups.
