Active clinical trials for "Urinary Incontinence"

This randomized multi-centre trial will recruit women with stress urinary incontinence who need surgical treatment for their condition. 300 women will be allocated either to receive a TVT Secur or a standard TVT surgical procedure. The main outcome is effectiveness of the procedure, determined using a 1-hour pad test (which tests for urine leakage) 12 months after surgery. The study will be carried out in 4 to 6 centers and will involve urogynaecologists, urologists and general obstetrician-gynaecologists: all clinicians will have received adequate training.

Overactive bladder (OAB) is an enigmatic condition that is treated symptomatically with anticholinergic drugs (gold standard 2013). In a clinical pilot study was found to be a trend for a higher reduction of the micturition frequency in the Bryophyllum pinnatum group - treated with chewing tablets containing 50% of dried BP leaf press juice - than in the placebo group (n=20, p=0.064) Hypothesis: To test the superior effectivity of Bryophyllum versus Placebo in the treatment of OAB with the needed number (Purpose 1) and to assess in an experimental arm the side effects of BP in comparison to the standard drug (Vesicare) in a clincial trial (Purpose 2).

This is a prospective observational study of women undergoing vaginal treatment with the fractional carbon dioxide (fCO2) laser for various urogenital symptoms.

The purpose of this study is to provide confirmatory evidence of the safety and efficacy of two Dysport® (AbobotulinumtoxinA) doses (600 units [U] and 800 U), compared to placebo in reducing urinary incontinence (UI) in adult subjects treated for neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) due to spinal cord injury (SCI) or multiple sclerosis (MS).

In this proposed study, the investigators aim to evaluate a modified suture urethropexy technique for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. Participants will be followed with postoperative visits after 2 weeks, 2 months, and 12 months. Pelvic floor ultrasound imaging will be performed before surgery and after 2 months and 12 months, to evaluate urethral mobility.

To evaluate the AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) in men with primary stress urinary incontinence as measured by pad weight tests.

During transcutaneous mechanical nerve stimulation in spinal cord injured men an increase in pressure was observed in the external urethral sphincter along with an increase in bladder capacity. In a subsequent study it was demonstrated that Transcutaneous Mechanical Nerve Stimulation (TMNS) in women could induce pressure increment of the external urethral sphincter. A pilot study have since shown that after 6 weeks of stimulation 24 out of 33 women suffering from urinary stress incontinence were able to contract their pelvic floor muscles and had become free of symptoms. Another pilot study has shown promising effect on the overactive bladder syndrome. The present study aims to treat urinary incontinence and includes 2 groups of patients with 30 patients in each group: Women suffering from urinary stress incontinence and women suffering from urge incontinence. A medical vibrator is used and in each group the subjects will be randomized to vibration treatment or no vibration treatment. All patients will receive pelvic floor training and all women suffering from urge incontinence will receive anticholinergic medications. The stimulation will be performed at the perineum every day for 6 weeks with an amplitude of 2 mm and a frequency of 100 Hz. Results will be evaluated on the basis of questionnaires, micturition diaries and diaper tests. If the investigators are able to demonstrate a significant reduction in the incontinence symptoms in the subjects the investigators asses that vibration can be a way of reestablishing a normal function of the pelvic floor muscles and bladder function in incontinent patients.

The aim of this study is to study safety, tolerability and efficacy of muscle derived cell (MDC) therapy in children with bladder exstrophy epispadias induced urinary incontinence.

To compare the efficacy and complications of the TVT SECUR system (TVT S) and trans-vaginal obturator tape (TVT-O) procedures for the surgical management of female stress urinary incontinence.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether women with overactive bladder (OAB) who receive direct instillation via a catheter of a Botulinum-A Toxin (Botox) with Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) solution experience significantly better improvement of their OAB symptoms when compared to a similar group of women with OAB who receive instillation of DMSO only.
