Active clinical trials for "Urinary Incontinence"

At an academic tertiary referral center, patients with pelvic floor dysfunction, scheduled for outpatient cystoscopy or urodynamic testing will be asked to participate in the study. Patients will be called one day after the examination and will be asked about pain and their general state of health. The purpose of this study it to investigate pain perception in urogynecologic patients during outpatient cystoscopy and compare it with pain perception during outpatient urodynamic. The investigators will also investigate the difference between anticipated and actual pain perception. The investigators will test the null hypothesis that there is no difference in patients´ pain perception between outpatient cystoscopy and urodynamic testing. The secondary hypothesis will be that there is no difference between patients´ anticipated amount of pain and the actually experienced pain during cystoscopy and urodynamic testing. According to power calculation, a sample size of 52 patients per group will be needed to detect a 2 cm difference in pain scores on the VAS - judged as a clinically significant difference - with 95% power and a two-sided significance level of 0.05. Exclusion criteria are: age ≤ 18 years, insufficient ability to understand German, pregnancy and the participation in another clinical study at the same time.

Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) is considered erroneously by many as being a phenomenon of the aging process, however there is a growing prevalence of complaints of UI in nulliparous and nulligest young women. Objective: To investigate the prevalence of urinary incontinence in women of different age groups. Method: 78 nulliparous and nulligest women of different resident age groups in the city of France, being these divided in: G1 (10-18 years); G2 (20-35 years); G3 (45-60 years) and G4 (65-75 years). Excluded from this study were women with cancer or surgeries of the inferior urinary treatment, urinary infection, alterations cognitive, pregnant and obesity. All the participants were questioned as a perception of urine loss, to the efforts or effortlessly evident.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact AFS and TVT procedures on quality-of-life in incontinent women.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the importance of functional assessment of the pelvic floor (AFA) in older women, as prognostic factor for Urinary Incontinence (UI).

The objective of this pilot-study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of PROMIS computerized-adaptive testing in women with urinary incontinence.

The purpose of this study is to compare first urge, strong urge, and maximum capacity, and perception of discomfort during urodynamic testing between room temperature and body temperate saline. Twenty-four non-pregnant females referred to the urogynecology clinic for bladder testing will be enrolled into the study. Each patient will serve as her own control, undergoing the bladder testing with both room temperature and body temperature saline.

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvic organs (e.g., the uterus or bladder) fall or slide down into the vagina. Pelvic organ prolapse can be corrected with surgery. Some types of surgery try to restore the normal anatomy and function of the vagina (i.e., reconstructive surgery). Other surgery repairs the prolapse by essentially closing the vagina (e.g., colpocleisis or colpectomy), thereby leaving a woman unable to have vaginal intercourse in the future. The use of colpocleisis has not been well-studied. The current literature is lacking sufficient studies of colpocleisis to fully understand its risks and benefits for women considering surgery for prolapse. Traditionally, colpocleisis has been restricted to elderly women thought to be poor medical risks for prolonged reconstructive surgery. This study will describe the postoperative course of women who undergo colpocleisis, with particular attention to the persistence or recurrence of urinary incontinence and patient satisfaction after the colpocleisis prolapse surgery.

The purpose of this study is to: Assess the rate of screening for urinary incontinence (UI) in women by their primary care providers Identify the type of screening used by primary care providers Identify barriers to screening for UI Identify differences in screening rates between specialties Assess whether primary care providers view UI as a serious medical problem Assess the comfort level of primary care providers in the diagnosis and treatment of UI Identify primary care providers' preferred mode of learning more about UI

This study consists of two studies with overlapping cohorts. One is a follow up epidemiological study of urinary incontinence, the other is a case control study of lower urinary tract dysfunction in women with diabetes. Study One: Subjects for the study will be a retrospective cohort of 2100 middle-aged and older women from a large health maintenance organization who have participated in the Reproductive Risk Factor for Incontinence Study at Kaiser (RRISK). The RRISK I study assembled a retrospective cohort of long-term female Kaiser Permanente members to determine the association between specific childbirth events, hysterectomy, hormone use and urinary incontinence later in life. The study also provides descriptive information on urinary incontinence by type, age, ethnicity, severity and age of onset. Study Two: Women with diabetes have a 30-70% increased risk of lower urinary tract dysfunction, including lower urinary tract symptoms, urinary incontinence, and ultimately bladder cystopathy. This sudy investigates the natural history, risk factors, and possible mechanisms of lower urinary tract dysfunction and infection among women with type 2 diabetes as compared to women without diabetes.
