Mixed Incontinence: Medical Or Surgical Approach?
Urinary IncontinenceThe purpose of this study is to compare treatment outcomes for patients with mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) for whom therapy is initiated with surgery to those for whom therapy is initiated with non-surgical treatment. Women who are bothered by symptoms of both stress and urge incontinence will be randomly assigned to initiate treatment with a surgical (surgery for stress incontinence) vs. a non-surgical (drug and behavioral therapy) approach. Follow-up will be a minimum of 12 Months.
A Comparison of the Retropubic (TVT) With the Transobturator Sling Operation in the Treatment of...
Stress Urinary IncontinenceThe midurethral tension-free vaginal tape (a macroporous polypropylene mesh) procedure is a well established technique for treating female stress urinary incontinence in patients with (hyper)mobile urethra. Postoperative continence rates are achieved in up to 95%. Currently, several anatomical approaches are developed and investigated to simplify this minimal invasive technique and make it safer. While the retropubic approach consists of the passage of the needles from under the midurethra up behind the pubic bone through the cavum retzii, the transobturator technique traverses the foramina obturatoria. Intraoperative complications like bladder perforation (in 4%) can be treated conservatively, while postoperative complications like voiding dysfunction (urinary outlet obstruction in up to 16% or urinary retention) are troublesome, impair the quality of life and require occasionally surgical sling release (transection of the sling). The aim of this study is to compare quality of life, postoperative voiding dysfunction, success rates and tape position after retropubic and transobturator sling procedure.

A Comparison of Tolterodine and Placebo Treatments on Nocturnal Frequency and Sleep Quality in Women...
Urinary IncontinenceThis study is being done to compare frequency of urination during the night when women take tolterodine tablets vs. when they take placebo tablets. We will also measure whether between these two treatment conditions there are any differences in women's sleep, mood and performance on cognitive tests.
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding With Truncal Vagotomy
Morbid ObesityObstructive Sleep Apnea5 moreLaparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) is a gold standard in the surgical treatment of morbid obesity. We hypothesize that the addition of truncal vagotomy (cutting of nerves to the stomach) will produce greater weight loss and better reduction of co-morbidities (diseases caused by or aggravated by morbid obesity) than LAGB alone. 25 patients will be enrolled and outcomes compared to LAGB historical controls over a post-operative period of 24 months.
Efficacy of Core Stabilization Exercises in Women With Stress and Mixed Urinary Incontinence
Stress Urinary IncontinenceIn our study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of core stabilization exercises added to traditional Kegel exercises on incontinence and quality of life in women with stress and stress dominant mixed urinary incontinence.
Abdominal Muscles Strengthening And Pelvic Floor Muscle Strengthening Exercises In Females With...
Urinary IncontinenceUrinary incontinence is common females., it badly affects their performance and result in psychosocial problems in addition to the barriers that already have been resulted from incontinence. This study combines simple regime of hip adductor a strengthening with pelvic floor muscles. The theme is to test if pelvic floor muscle training can be augmented by incorporating adductor muscle strengthening. If this comes out to be effective, this can be great contribution to gym doing females to improve their urinary incontinence related impairments. Woman would be encouraged to continue regular exercise. This will be randomized clinical trial. There are two groups for the compression of adductors strengthening and pelvic floor muscle strengthening. The collected data will be entered in SPSS 20.0, Descriptive and Inferential statists will be applied. Results and conclusion will be drawn.
Comparison Between Pelvic Muscle Training and Pilates Exercises for UI in Postmenopausal Women
Urinary IncontinenceIntroduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a condition that affects around 40% of postmenopausal women and is therefore considered a public health problem. Conservative treatment is recommended, and pelvic floor muscle training (PMT) is considered the gold standard for this type of condition. However, other possibilities of exercises have been studied to achieve continence, such as Pilates exercises, which focus on the stabilizing muscles and request a voluntary contraction of the muscles of the pelvic floor (PFM), it is believed that it can recruit fibers from these muscles, improving muscle function and episodes of urinary incontinence. However, the literature is still inconclusive regarding the effects of Pilates exercises on urinary incontinence and PFM function. Objective: To compare the effects of 3 months of muscle training, through TMAP and Pilates exercises on the improvement of UI in postmenopausal women. Methods: 40 postmenopausal women with urinary incontinence will be randomly assigned to two intervention groups: pelvic floor muscle training and Pilates exercises. The evaluations will be carried out before the interventions and after three months of them, and will involve the following instruments: urinary incontinence and aspects related to quality of life, assessed using the International Consultation of Urinary Incontinence questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF); 7-day voiding diary, used to identify possible modifiable factors related to urination and its frequency; Pad-test used to identify and quantify UI; Feeling Scale, to portray the affective valence of the exercises; Female Sexual Function Index, which will assess female sexual function; Manometric assessment of muscle strength and PFM endurance with Epi-no; and Manometric evaluation by bidigital palpation using the PERFECT test. Shapiro Wilk tests will be performed to verify normality, Student's t or Mann Whitney U test according to parametric or non-parametric distribution, ANCOVA for comparison between groups in the post-intervention, considering the 95% confidence interval (p<0.05) . The data will be processed in the SPSS 25.0 program.
Nerve Stimulation Using a TENS to Provide Pain Relief During Surgery for Overactive Bladder
Urinary IncontinenceOveractive Bladder2 moreThis will be a double blind randomized control trial in men and women with urinary urge incontinence that are undergoing outpatient operative cystoscopy for Onabotulinumtoxin A chemo denervation as third line therapy for overactive bladder (OAB) or urinary urge incontinence (UUI). Subjects will be identified by the University of Rochester Urologists and Urogynecologists participating in the study who currently oversee urinary urge incontinence care. Subjects will be randomized into two groups. One group will be undergoing the cystoscopy with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for analgesia and the second group will have cystoscopy with placebo TENS.
