Intravaginal Electrical Stimulation in Idiopathic Overactive Bladder
Idiopathic Overactive BladderElectrical Stimulation1 moreOveractive bladder (OAB) is a symptom complex defined as urgency, with or without urge urinary incontinence (UUI), usually with frequency and nocturia, in the absence of urinary tract infection. Currently, a wide range of therapeutic options exist for the treatment of OAB. These include first-line conservative (physical) therapies which focus on electrical stimulation (ES) and behavioral therapies such as lifestyle modifications, bladder training (BT), pelvic floor muscle training with or without biofeedback, second-line therapies which are pharmacologic, and third-line therapies which either neuromodulate or chemodenervate the bladder. In clinical practice, BT and Intravaginal ES (IVES) are frequently used together in the treatment of women with OAB, but the evidences/results of the combined (BT+IVES) use of these two treatment options are so rare that they can be neglected in the literature. There is only one study including BT+ES treatment arm (one of the four treatment arms) in women with idiopathic OAB in the literature. In a study, BT+ES was not found to be effective both from BT alone and from the untreated control group. While interpreting the results of this study, it should be take into consideration that patients treated received relatively few treatment sessions (nine treatment sessions, once weekly) in this study. In addition, in the light of authors clinical experience, the investigators think that this issue is still open for research. Moreover, there is no recommendation on conservative combinations in the guidelines due to insufficient data. This study is the first prospective randomized controlled trial that compares the efficacy of BT and BT plus IVES in women with idiopathic OAB. In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the efficacy of BT with and without IVES on incontinence-related QoL and clinical parameters in women with idiopathic OAB.
Fall Prevention in Older Adults With OAB
Overactive BladderThough OAB treatment may improve physical activity, there is a lack of easily administered instruments for measuring physical activity in older adults. Aim is to validate instruments to measure physical activity and preference for medication, and to determine the effect of preference for anti-cholinergic medication on adherence, physical activity, and falls risk. It's plan a prospective cohort study of adults aged 65 or older with OAB undergoing treatment with anti-cholinergic medication.
Effects of Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation for Overactive Bladder Symptoms in Adults
Overactive BladderUrge Incontinence1 moreFor overactive bladder symptoms, there are numerous physiotherapy techniques have been found to be beneficial. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve is one of those treatment options, that is entirely a non-invasive, easy to apply, and cost-effective technique. Transcutaneous stimulation of the tibial nerve targets the sacral nerve plexus that contracts the pelvic floor muscles and controls the bladder function. This research aims to study the effectiveness of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation in adults with overactive bladder symptoms along with the conventional physiotherapy for overactive bladder (pelvic floor muscle training through Kegel's exercises) among 60 patients with overactive bladder symptoms on the basis of non-probability purposive sampling technique with screening for study criteria through a consultant urologist. After taking informed consent, all participants will be randomly allocated into two groups. Group A will receive pelvic floor muscles training through Kegels exercises along with transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve and Group B will receive pelvic floor muscles training through Kegels exercises. The treatment duration will of six weeks. Outcomes will be assessed before the start of the treatment and after the end of the treatment sessions.
Diversity in Patients With OAB
Overactive BladderDiversity3 moreAn overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition characterized by frequent en nightly voiding, small bladder capacity and the occurrence of sudden urge to void, with or without urinary incontinence. The prevalence of OAB with bothersome complaints is around 11% in women and 9% in men with an increasing incidence with age. OAB is not an illness or disease but nevertheless had a significant impact on both the individual as society. First-line treatment for OAB consists out of behavioral and physiotherapy. Anticholinergic medication can be associated to improve bothersome symptoms, but has the downside of causing unwanted side effects. If the formentioned treatment is not sufficient, second line treatment can be discussed. Depending on the patient's characteristics and the physician's preference intravesical injections of Botox or the implantation of a sacral neuromodulator (SNM) can be considered. Both options are equal and effective, but many individual differences exist in preference. Regarding outcome, some factors have been described to prefer one therapy above the other, for example in case of concomitant fecal incontinence, frequent urinary tract infections,… The personal preference of doctors and patients has been investigated, but currently no study has focused on therapy preference in a culturally and linguistic divers (CALD) population. The latter broadly describes a population with ethnical, cultural, religious and/or language characteristics and is a general accepted measure of diversity. In the current study, the investigators aim to describe the different (dis)advantages of both second line treatments for OAB in a discrete choice experiment. The study population will consist of a diverse group of patients with OAB from different hospitals. The goal is to investigate if CALD patients make a different choice in treatment and what factors contribute to that decision in order to provide more tailored information regarding the treatment options in the future. Taking a patient's context into account in the shared decision making between a patient and physician increases therapy compliance and satisfaction of the chosen treatment. The total questionnaire will consist out of general demographic info, the EQ-5D, the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ)-OAB and the discrete choice questionnaire in which patients make a choice between two fictional treatment options consisting of a combination of different therapy characteristics. The questionnaire will be translated into different languages in order to lower the threshold for participation.
