Active clinical trials for "Urinary Incontinence"

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) on Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in men after stroke. 120 men with LUTS or increased LUTS after stroke is included and randomized into a treatment group or a control group. The subjects in the treatment group follows a 12 week standard PFMT program, while the control group is not given specific treatment of their LUTS but like the treatment group follows the standard rehabilitation program for stroke patient. Outcome are measured by 5 questionnaires Voiding diary 24-hour pad test pelvic floor muscle assessment test

The study was conducted between 2004 and 2006 to prove efficacy and tolerability of the antimuscarinic propiverine compared to placebo in children suffering from non-neurogenic overactive bladder and urinary incontinence.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a minimally invasive surgical procedure in up to 109 male patients. The ProACT device is designed to treat men who have stress urinary incontinence arising from intrinsic sphincter deficiency following an operation performed on the prostate for cancer or for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Two adjustable balloons (one on each side of the urethra) are implanted to treat urinary stress incontinence. The results will be analyzed to demonstrate the effects of the device as well as its associated risks. Therapeutic success will be based on whether patients demonstrate at least a 50% reduction in pad weight at 18 months follow-up compared to the pad weight results at baseline.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of DITROPAN® XL (oxybutynin chloride) Extended-Release Tablets and DETROL® LA (tolterodine tartrate extended-release capsules) in the reduction of urge urinary incontinence episodes during a 12-week treatment period in patients with overactive bladder. The secondary objective is to compare the tolerability of DITROPAN® XL (oxybutynin chloride) and DETROL® LA (tolterodine tartrate) during a 12-week treatment period.

Urinary incontinence which is a major health issue in women affects 30-40% of older women. Surgical treatments for SUI have undergone many modifications in the last century. The Needleless Sling System is a one incision, minimally invasive, surgical procedure that has had great acceptance in Europe and has recently received FDA Clearance for use in the United States. We will evaluate effectiveness and patient reported outcomes for Needleless® sling system (Neomedic International). This is a prospective, multicenter, registry. Up to 150 women will be enrolled from up to 3 registry sites. Patients will be evaluated at baseline, peri-operatively, and post-operatively up to 2 months, up to 6 months and at 12 months. Effectiveness evaluations will include a standing stress test (objective cure), SANDVIK questions (subjective cure) & I-QOL (quality of life measure). Other evaluations will include type of anesthesia, concurrent surgery, operative time, post-operative pain, length of hospital stay, returning to usual activities, change of lower urinary tract symptoms (BFLUTSSF, voiding diaries), goal achievement and patient satisfaction.

Stress urinary incontinence is the most common type of female incontinence. The efficacy of pelvic floor muscle training with biofeedback has been already proved in many studies. But intravaginal probe is one of the limitation. So, the purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of extracorporeal biofeedback device with pelvic floor muscle training.

Many women experience the accidental loss of urine called urge incontinence or overactive bladder (OAB) incontinence. Women describe this as a sudden, strong desire to pass urine which results in leakage before reaching the toilet. The current usual treatments for urge incontinence include behavioral treatment, physical therapy, and medicines. Although these treatments have been found to be effective in research studies, they are less effective over time in general practice. Because medicines have side effects, many women stop them. The purpose of this study is to explore different treatments that may provide another option for women with urge incontinence that might be effective. This is an initial study to see if these treatments are at least as effective as the usual treatments. Hypothesis: Does Mind Based Stress Reduction(MBSR)(meditation practices)reduce urinary urge incontinence episodes?

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of pelvic floor muscle training in the treatment of urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy.

To evaluate the effect of tolterodine ER in conjunction with behavioral intervention on subject satisfaction in OAB subjects who were dissatisfied with their most recent antimuscarinic OAB medication therapy.

The primary objective of this project is to evaluate whether enhancing drug therapy with components of behavioral training, including pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation, results in better outcomes than drug therapy alone for urge incontinence in community-dwelling women.
