Active clinical trials for "Urinary Incontinence"

The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence of short-term urinary retention and the cure rate in patients with stress urinary incontinence undergoing surgical treatment with fascial pubovaginal sling with two tension adjustment techniques: the classic adjustment technique ("2 fingers") and measuring the distance between the fixation knot and the aponeurosis of 4 cm.

In practice, the Investigators recommend that patients bring a family member or close friend to their pre-operative appointment to help with patient anxiety, comprehension, and informed decision-making. However, there is limited literature to support this recommendation. The investigators are exploring if having a support person present during this consent process impacts anxiety, satisfaction, knowledge, and preparedness for surgery.

The main risk factors for failure after single-incision slings are reduced urethral mobility and stress urinary incontinence severity in long-term follow-up.

This study aimed to examine trunk and lower extremity biomechanics among children with lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD). It was targeted to pioneer including biomechanical changes into treatment if detected in the trunk and lower extremities of children. Voluntary participants meeting inclusion criteria were divided into two groups: the LUTD group (n=43) and the healthy group (n=43). No treatment was applied to participants and the same evaluation methods were used in both groups. Trunk muscle strength, muscle endurance, posture, flexibility, and pelvic floor muscle activity of participants was evaluated with stabilizer pressurized biofeedback unit, sit-ups and modified push-ups test; trunk flexors endurance test and Modified Biering Sorensen Test; Posture Screen Mobile And Foot Posture Index; sit-reach-test and Beighton Score; and NeuroTrac-Myoplus4Pro, respectively. In addition, the quality of life of participants was evaluated with Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL).

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and urinary incontinence (UI) are common female disorders. Accurate diagnosis of the aetiology of pelvic organ descent and prolapse with or without accompanying urination disorders is essential for appropriate therapeutic management. Imaging and functional urodynamic testing are being increasingly used in the diagnosis of this pathology, because precise assessment of the damage to the supporting and ligament apparatus is essential for therapeutic success. Pelvic floor ultrasound can facilitate dynamic assessment of static changes that occur during functional tests. Such assessments can provide additional insights into existing defects, which have explorative value and allow for targeted correction of damage, and may thus indirectly contribute to reduced rates of revision surgeries.

Surgical outcomes of bladder neck surgery in children with neurogenic bladder. Consequences on bladder voiding.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how a support group with other individuals who share the condition urinary incontinence (UI) impacts patients experience with management of urinary incontinence.

Compare through 3D USG the tape spatial orientation, in three different techniques of insertion of mid-urethral synthetic sling, correlating USG findings to postoperative results in an average of three years follow-up. Methods: This is a transversal study of a cohort women surgically treated for stress urinary incontinence by retropubic sling (TVT-R), transobturator sling (TVT-O) or single-incision sling (TVT-S). The clinical and USG evaluation were performed at the same medical visit, from April 2013 to June 2014, .

In men, urinary incontinence (UI) is relatively uncommon, and usually associated with some forms of prostate surgery. Thus, one of the risks of surgery for benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is postoperative UI. The guidelines of the American Urological Association for BPH treatment indicate that UI (2~5%) is relevant complications after transurethral prostatectomy (TURP). Rassweiler et al., based on a review of publications stated that early UI may occur in up to 30-40% of patients after TURP. Rigatti et al. reported that early postoperative urgency UI occurred in 38.6% (TURP) and 44% (holmium laser enucleation of the prostate; HoLEP) of surgically treated patients at 1-month after the surgery. Recently, the follow-up data for patients treated with HoLEP showed that transient stress UI developed in up to 44% after HoLEP. Although this alternative surgical treatment such as HoLEP can be performed safely with minimal complications, patients often face debilitating UI during the postoperative period before any improvement in micturition parameters occurs. Although this symptom ameliorates within a relatively short time, it usually cause significant stress and anxiety to the patient as far as their durations is concerned. In addition to its economic cost, UI is a distressing condition that has major impacts on a patient's quality of life. Social withdrawal, isolation, and depression occur in some patients. Because this problem is usually temporary, there has been little attempt at addressing the issue. Therefore, there has been no research devoted specifically to transient de novo UI associated with HoLEP. 1. The aim of the present study was following: to investigate the incidence of transient de novo UI after HoLEP for BPH determine the predictors of early postoperative transient de novo UI.

Urgency incontinence (where the bladder muscles contract suddenly, causing an immediate urge to urinate that is difficult to prevent) is commonly experienced in patients with overactive bladder. New findings have discovered that urgency incontinence may be connected to the interactions of certain regions of the brain and the bladder. Although this is a common problem, researchers still do not know how these interactions impact the process of urgency incontinence. The purpose of this study is to better understand how the brain functions, by using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) to create images of the brain during different bladder states.
