Active clinical trials for "Urinary Incontinence, Stress"

This is a clinical investigation approved by US FDA and Canadian Health Authority to study the safety and potential effectiveness of the autologous muscle cells for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.

This study is a multi-center, global study that will assess the effectiveness and patient satisfaction of the male incontinence sling 12 months after implant as well as the safety profile of the product.

The primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of Bulkamid® in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD) in adult women who have SUI or stress predominant mixed incontinence

Over 11 million women in the United States suffer from stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the involuntary leakage of urine during routine physical activities such as laughing, coughing, exercising, or sneezing. SUI affects women of all ages and can result in significant emotional distress. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a non-surgical, investigational treatment intended to reduce or eliminate urine leakage due to stress urinary incontinence.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a minimally invasive surgical procedure in up to 160 implanted female patients in which two adjustable balloons (one on each side of the urethra) are implanted to treat urinary stress incontinence. The results will be analyzed to demonstrate the effects of the device as well as its associated risks. Therapeutic success will be based on whether the patients demonstrate at least a one-grade (mean) reduction in the Stamey score at 12 months.

This is a randomized controlled trial comparing two methods of exercise for the treatment of stress incontinence ( loss of urine after physical exertion) in women. We are comparing the Paula method of circular muscle exercise, in which circular muscles controlling sphincters of the body (such as the eyes, mouth and rectum) are exercised, with pelvic floor training (Kegel exercises) in women in the community. The study hypothesis is that the effectiveness of circular muscle exercises is equivalent to pelvic floor training among women with this disorder.

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled clinical study. The study is designed to demonstrate that active is superior to sham for the efficacy endpoints and is deemed to have appropriate safety as compared to sham.

This study will investigate if citalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, is reducing the opening pressure of the urethra and possibly causing or worsening stress urinary incontinence. Reboxetine, a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, is known to increase urethral opening pressure through actions on adrenoceptors in Onuf´s nucleus and will act as an active control. Furthermore, this study is performed to explore the effects of reboxetine and citalopram on the opening pressure of the anal canal.

The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of a group-based yoga intervention to decrease the frequency and impact of urinary incontinence in ambulatory middle-aged and older women and explore potential mediators of improvement in outcomes. Women aged 45 years and older who report daily or more frequent stress-, urgency-, or mixed-type incontinence, are not already engaged in formal yoga or muscle stretching/strengthening programs, are willing to temporarily forgo other clinical treatments for incontinence, are able to walk to and use the bathroom without assistance, and meet other eligibility criteria will be recruited from multiple locations surrounding the San Francisco Bay area.
