Active clinical trials for "Urinary Incontinence"

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of guided versus non guided pelvic floor exercises for urinary incontinence in patients with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

This pilot study will assess the feasibility and acceptability of an educational workshop on pelvic floor disorders and its potential impact on decisional conflict.

The investigators have developed an investigation comparing electroacupuncture with pelvic floor exercises in female urinary incontinence (UI). It is a randomized clinical trial with 71 women with UI and two arms: 37 women received electroacupuncture with pelvic floor exercises and another arm with 34 women who only received pelvic floor exercises. The investigators evaluated the effectiveness using the International consultation on incontinence questionaire-urinary incontinence short form (ICQ-UI SF) Spanish version. The investigators also evaluated the safety of electroacupuncture in our sample.

To reveal the effects of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) applied over the thigh on incontinence symptoms, pelvic floor muscle function, bladder function, quality of life and sexual function in women with urge urinary incontinence (UUI) symptoms. Our goal is to contribute to the literature on electrical stimulation (ES) applications used in UUI treatment. Female patients aged 18-65 years with UUI symptoms will be included in the study. Patients will be divided into 2 groups randomly. The first group will be given Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) and lifestyle suggestions (LSS) (NMES group). The second group will be given sham NMES in addition to LSS (SHAM ES group). Information about bladder irritants, voiding posture and behavior, weight control and pelvic floor muscle training will be provided in the LSS. ES applications will be performed 3 days a week for 30 minutes per session for 8 weeks. All participants will be evaluated pretreatment, after the 4th week and posttreatment. Pelvic floor muscle function will evulate with the Modified Oxford Scale. In addition, women's bladder function with the urinary diary for 3 days, incontinence symptoms with the International Incontinence Consultation Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) and the Coital Incontinence Score (CIS), quality of life with the King Health Questionnaire (KHQ) and Sexual Function will be evaluated with Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12). At the end of the 8th week, both the Subjective perception of improvement and treatment satisfaction of the patients will be questioned

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been shown to improve postoperative outcomes in a variety of surgical conditions. However, data regarding its role in urogynecologic surgery is limited. This study aimed to investigate the role of the ERAS protocol on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing urogynecologic surgery.

The purpose of the trial is to assess the effect of tadalafil compared to placebo (inactive comparator) on the urethral - and anal pressure and on urine flow in healthy females. Further, the purpose of the trial is to evaluate the potential for going forward with studies of tadalafil in patients suffering from urine or fecal incontinence.

The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of PFMT added to EA vs PFMT added sham EA for SUI in women.

Urinary incontinence (UI) symptoms are highly prevalent among women, and menopause is one of the risk factors for UI. During the menopausal transition, not only the hormonal secretion is changed but also the level of physical activity is affected. The time spent on physical activity is reduced in postmenopausal women. Studies have shown that physical activity acts in a bidirectional manner, exerting either a preventive or an aggravating effect on urinary incontinence. Individuals with sedentary lifestyle and insufficient physical activity (< 150 min/week) are at risk of developing UI, and regular physical activity exerts a protective effect in preventing UI, but the optimal type, duration, and intensity of exercise for the female older adult population remain unknown. In addition, objective measurements of pelvic floor muscle function is needed as the use of self-reported measures may cause response bias. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of different intensity of exercise on pelvic floor muscle function and HRQoL in postmenopausal women with UI. The investigators hypothesize that (a) both high- and low-intensity physical activities can improve pelvic floor muscle strength and HRQoL in postmenopausal women with UI, and (b) the improvement in high-intensity group is higher than that in low-intensity group. A randomized trial will be conducted to compare the effect of different exercise intensity on pelvic floor muscle function in postmenopausal women with urinary incontinence (n=90).

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of high- and low-intensity PFMT with stabilization exercises in women with SUI

Aim: To verify the effects of the abdominal hypopressive technic (AHT) associate or not with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in urinary incontinence (UI) symptoms and pelvic floor muscle strength. Methods: Randomized controlled trial. Thirteen incontinent women were randomly divided into an AHT group or AHT+PFMC group. Outcome assessment was carried out using digital palpation (modified Oxford grading scale), Peritron perineometer, and the International Consultation Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) questionnaire. The treatment protocol consisted of five twice-weekly, 40-min one-on-one sessions. The participants were assessed only at baseline and after the intervention. Results: It is expected that the group who performed PFMC will improve the maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) and improve urinary incontinence symptoms, while the hypopressive exercise does not.
