Active clinical trials for "Urinary Bladder, Overactive"

The purpose of this study is to ascertain the clinical results of solifenacin succinate of PIII study conducted in the original country using Korean patients with an overactive bladder.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetic drug interaction between Solifenacin and Tamsulosin in healthy male volunteers.

This study will investigate the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of vibegron (MK-4618) administered to participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency and healthy participants matched for age, gender, and body mass index (BMI). Participants may be enrolled with mild hepatic insufficiency.

Most ureteral stent insertions follow ureteroscopy procedures for stone management. Stents are essentially designed to prevent the blockage of the ureter. Such blockage is often a result of inflammation caused by ureteroscopy procedures. The stent provides a secure passageway for urine as it travels from the kidneys to the bladder, circumventing potential urinary retention. In our community, only one kind of stent is used, and it is manufactured by Bard. Standard protocol involves the removal of the stent 5 to 8 days following insertion. If stenting is required for greater than 8 days, special accommodations will be made for you in this study. Unfortunately, pain and lower urinary tract symptoms are often associated with the insertion and removal of stents. It is our goal to determine whether VESIcare is capable of relieving such symptoms. As a prospective member of this study, you will be asked to complete three surveys. The first survey will ask you about your experiences of urinary urgency and pain before your surgery. If you are an emergency patient, you will be asked to remember your condition before the surgery, completing this questionnaire at your first post-op visit. If you are not an emergency patient, this survey will be completed before your surgery. If your stent is removed within 5 to 8 days of surgery, you will be asked to complete the second survey at the time of removal. You will then complete the final survey at a scheduled post-operative check-up 4 to 5 weeks later. If your stent remains inserted for greater than 8 days after surgery, you will be asked to complete the second survey 3 to 4 days after your stent was inserted. You will then complete the final survey, 7 to 8 weeks post-op. Throughout this study, both VESIcare and non-VESIcare patients will be important in determining whether VESIcare truly is capable of relieving stent pain. As such, you will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups, those receiving VESIcare, and those who are not.

The purpose of this study is to explore additional benefit of solifenacin after 12-week treatment, compared with alpha blocker monotherapy in men with residual OAB symptoms.

This is a modified extension study to the SUmiT protocol UPC082008 (NCT00534521) to observe and evaluate long term therapy with PTNS on overactive bladder symptoms. Subjects must have completed the 12 weekly treatments of the original protocol, the 13 week follow up assessment, be randomized to the PTNS arm, and be considered a positive responder with moderate or marked improvement in the SUmiT Trial to be enrolled in this study. All consenting responders will continue with active PTNS therapy at an initially prescribed protocol for approximately 3 months followed by individualized symptom-based frequency of visits as determined by the subject along with their treating clinician, for up to a total of 33 months post initial 12-week therapy for a total of 3 years.

Dysfunctional voiding is often associated with constipation. The association of constipation with urologic pathologic processes has previously been described since the 1950's, but it was only over the past decade that clinicians have paid more attention to this relationship and recognized it existence with the term dysfunctional elimination syndrome (DES). This term is used to reflect the broad spectrum of functional disturbances that may affect the urinary tract including that of functional bowl disturbances and can be classified as follows: Functional disorder of filling: overactive bladder, over distention of bladder or insensate bladder, which may be associated with fecal impaction or rectal distention with infrequent bowel movements Functional disorder of emptying: over-recruitment of pelvic floor activity during voiding causing interrupted and/or incomplete emptying also associated with defecation difficulties due to non- relaxation of the puborectalis muscle, dyssynergic defecation or pain with defecation Several different therapeutic options have been used for patients with dysfunctional voiding mainly to decrease bladder outlet obstruction. These treatments including, alpha adrenergic antagonists, and botulinum toxin are less than optimum. One possible explanation for these drug failures includes the inability of these medications to relax the striated muscles of the pelvic floor necessary for voiding. To date there has been no data to evaluate the role of baclofen on the striated muscle of the external anal sphincter, essential in the defecation process.

Phase I/II study to assess the safety and performance of the Amphora OAB system for treatment of urgency and frequency with or without urge incontinence caused by an overactive bladder.

This study aims to identify differences in bladder contractions during the storage phase (non voiding activities) between OAB subjects and healthy subjects, using high resolution urodynamics. The study is divided into two parts: PART 1: Consists of 5 females with overactive bladder PART 2: Consists of 25 females with overactive bladder and 15 healthy females Part 1 subjects will be enrolled followed by part 2 subjects. The data from part 1 subjects will be reviewed and analysed by a group of experts before starting the second part (part 2) of the study.

This is a mixed methods study to compare group medical visits (GMVs) to usual care for Spanish speaking Latina women with urgency urinary incontinence. Patients will be randomized to GMVs and to usual care. At the conclusion of each series of GMVs we will hold a focus group for participants.The primary outcome will be improvement in urgency urinary incontinence symptoms.
