Active clinical trials for "Urinary Incontinence"

Men with localized prostate cancer (PCa) are often treated with surgery, a treatment that is associated with high rates of side effects such as erectile dysfunction (ED) and urinary incontinence (UI) which impact quality of life. Yoga may improve control of UI and improve ED by bringing awareness to and strengthening the pelvic floor musculature. The randomized controlled pilot study is to assess the feasibility of an innovative hybrid (in-person and virtual) twice-weekly yoga program that includes a prehabilitation component and to obtain preliminary data that will help assess its potential effectiveness in alleviating PCa treatment symptom burden (primarily ED and UI). The long-term goal is to develop a scalable and sustainable yoga program that helps cancer survivors manage their treatment side effects.

This study is about assessing the helpfulness of two treatment delivery methods for bladder leakage or urinary incontinence. It is being funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs. By doing this study, the investigators hope to learn which treatment method is the most helpful remote delivery method for treating bladder leakage. The total participation time in this research is 6 months. During the first 8 -12 weeks of the study, you will receive standard of care from an online educational program (MyHealtheBladder) or a video visit with a provider through VA Video Connect. You will be selected by chance to receive MyHealtheBladder or VA Video Connect. About half-way through the study, the investigators will ask you about your bladder symptoms. If your bladder symptoms are not better, you will be selected by chance to continue the previous treatment or receive an initial or booster video session with a provider. Throughout the study, you will be asked to answer questions related to your health, bladder leakage, costs due to bladder leakage, and track your behavioral training.

To assess to the non-inferiority of the retropubic Neomedic Knotless Incontinence Mesh (KIM) sling compared to the Gynecare Tension-free Vaginal Tape (TVT) Exact sling. Participants: Women 21 years or older with a diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) with objective evidence of SUI planning surgery for stress urinary incontinence. Procedures (methods): Patients will be randomized to receive either the Gynecare TVT Exact sling or the retropubic Neomedic KIM sling. Patients will be followed for 1 year postoperatively.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the outcomes of differing durations of antibiotic prophylaxis with bladder onabotulinumtoxinA injection in patients with refractory overactive bladder. The main question it aims to answer are: • Is the incidence of post-procedure UTI similar between single-dose and multi-day durations of peri-procedural antibiotics? Participants will be randomized to single-dose versus multi-day dose of antibiotic prophylaxis with bladder onabotulinumtoxinA injection. Researchers will compare incidence of UTI in each group to see if there is a significant difference.

The ARTISAN-SNM study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Axonics Sacral Neuromodulation System as an aid in the treatment of the symptoms of urinary urgency incontinence (UUI) in patients who have failed or could not tolerate more conservative treatments.

One in five women will undergo prolapse surgery in their lifetime, and there is a strong correlation between prolapse and urinary incontinence. Pelvic floor surgeons aspire to improve relevant quality of life outcomes for women with pelvic floor disorders while minimizing complications and unnecessary procedures. There has been an experience of disappointment and frustration when a patient returns following POP repair with new symptoms of SUI that she ranks as a greater disruption to her quality of life than her original vaginal bulge. While retropubic (RP) slings are considered to be the "gold-standard" referent for other slings with long-term outcomes data, they are associated with the highest risks of intra- and post-operative complications including bladder injury, bleeding, and post-operative voiding dysfunction. Single-incision slings (SIS) are the latest iteration in sling development that build upon the benefits of slings but avoid passage through the muscles of the inner thigh. The hypothesis for this study is that single-incision slings (Altis ™) are non-inferior to Retropubic mid-urethral slings when placed at the time of native tissue vaginal repair.

The purpose of this open, multi center trial is to evaluate a new biological replacement for synthetic slings in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.

This study aims to investigate the effect of electrical stimulation of the dorsal genital nerve on the urethral pressure in healthy women.

Urinary incontinence (UI) is estimated to affect 25% à 45 % women all over the world. UI is associated with a poor Quality of life, with a strong level of certainty. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the second more prevalent type of UI . First-line treatment for SUI is conservative, non-drug and non-surgical treatment. Among these techniques, physiotherapist-supervised pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training (PFMT) as a first-line treatment; however, only half of women with SUI are cured with PFMT. Brain imaging shows that PFMs (involved in continence mechanisms) and gluteal muscles can activate the same cortical region. This synergy is found if the gluteal muscles are voluntarily activated, but not if the PFMs are volontary activated alone . In women, hip abductor physiotherapy is a common practice which has already been the subject of a very extensive literature and has largely shown its effectiveness in the quality of lumbo-pelvic control, balance, quality of life and risk of fall prevention. This rehabilitation is based on exercises that induce solicitation of the hip abductors by synergistic reflex activation during a range of well-known exercises. Recent work has shown the effect of hip abductors on the activation of the PFMs . Until today, there is no literature evaluating the effectiveness of a hip abductors training program without associated voluntary contraction of the PFMs (PPM) on UI. The hypothesis of this work will be to demonstrate that a complementary training focused on the hip abductor, complementary to concomitant PFMT, would benefit from a more significant improvement in continence, and also in physical abilities and quality of life. Because balance seems involved in UI, we therefore propose to to observe the effects on the frontal balance of the pelvis. As the investigators have already done in previous studies, to identifying factors that predict the success of our interventions, investiagtors have planned to evaluate the observance and adherence of our patients .Complementary, the investigators planned to evaluate the effect of both intervention on pelvic floor muscles and hip abductors strength and endurance, pelvic organ prolapse symptoms and quality of life. For this objective, the investigators intend to compare two randomized parallel groups: Group A follow a 12 sessions supervised PFMT + home based PFMs exercices. Group B follow a 12 sessions supervised PFMT + home based hip abductor exercices.

Neurogenic overactive bladder (NOAB) presents with urgency incontinence. Existing NOAB management is expensive, lacks standardized regimens, or is invasive. Therefore, evaluating the effectiveness of non-invasive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for NOAB management among stroke survivors remains crucial. Objectives: Evaluate the effects of active-rTMS compared to sham-rTMS among stroke survivors with NOAB, the interventions' cost-effectiveness and explore their experiences qualitatively.
