Active clinical trials for "Urinary Incontinence"

This study was designed to evaluate urinary function before and one year after single incision sling placement at the time of robotic sacrocolpopexy. The thought is that the more minimally-invasive, single incision sling would provide a similar subjective success rates as those of retropubic and trans-obturator slings.

To analyze biofilm obtained from at least 10 Subjects who have an indwelling catheter. A 30cc urine sample would also be collected from the same subject, and analyzed.

The goal of this project is to evaluate the applicability of non-invasive optical imaging for the measurement of brain function during investigation of the lower urinary tract.

The aim of our study is to report the subjective and objective outcome of outside-in transobturator technique (TOT) (Monarc®) in long-term follow-up. This is a follow-up study concerning 191 patients operated on in Turku University Hospital between May 2003 and December 2004 by using TOT. SUI was diagnosed with a positive stress test, the Urinary Incontinence Severity Score (UISS) and the Detrusor Instability Score (DIS). After a mean of 6.5 years evaluation included a gynecological examination and a supine stress test. Subjective outcome was evaluated with UISS, DIS, a visual analogue scale (VAS), a questionnaire of subjective evaluation of continence, EuroQoL-5D, EQ-5D VAS and short versions of IIQ-7 and UDI-6. Objective cure was defined as negative stress test and an absence of reoperation for SUI during the follow-up period.

In the population of obese women, the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) is around 70%. It was shown in the literature that weight loss by bariatric surgery allowed a significant improvement in the symptoms and impact on the quality of life of the IU. However, no prognostic factor for recovery has yet been identified and the pathophysiological mechanisms underpinning this improvement are not fully elucidated. The main objective of this study is to highlight the urodynamic changes associated with the improvement of the symptom and quality of life scores in a population of incontinent obese women before and after bariatric surgery.

The purpose of this study is to improve spasticity diagnosis through exploration of potential new diagnostic markers for spasticity that can assist in diagnosis and referral.

Lower urinary tract symptoms is quite frequent in men and women. To better understand the the symptoms that characterize lower urinary tract, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) has established the Symptoms of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction Research Network (LURN). In this study we aim to validate the LURN-29 score to Turkish language

The investigators aim to perform cognitive interviews to assess how pelvic floor disorders impact sexual functioning in women who have sex with women (WSW). As a secondary objective there will be cognitive interviews to assess perceptions of sexual function questionnaires such as Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-IUGA Revised (PISQ-IR) in WSW.

Purpose Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7 (IIQ-7) and The International Consultation on Incontinence (ICIQ-SF) Short Form are used to diagnose individuals with urinary incontinence (UI) and to assess the impact of the dysfunction on patient quality of life. While ICIQ-SF has fixed cutoff values - UDI-6 and IIQ-7 do not. We aimed to find the cutoff scores for UDI-6 and IIQ-7 in women with UI. Methods The study involved 205 women aged between 31 and 83 years - 155 with, and 50 without UI symptoms. All participants completed all three questionnaires: ICIQ-SF, UDI-6 and IIQ-7. Patients were categorized according to their ICIQ-SF scores, as symptomatic ICIQ-SF ≥6 (n=134) and asymptomatic ICIQ < 6 (n=60). The Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve was used to test how well UDI-6 allowed a discrimination between patients suffering from UI and those who do not. AUC (Area under Curve) statistic was calculated to measure the UDI-6 and IIQ-7 Total Score efficiency.

The objective is to validate the use of ultrasound measurements (urethral mobility, movement of the ano-rectal angle, elastography measurements) in women with urinary incontiennce before and after pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) : inter and intra-observer reproducibility; correlation with clinical examination (modified Oxford scale); sensitivity to change before/after pelvic floor muscle training
