The Long Term Outcomes of Rehabilitation and Drug Treatment for in Urgency Urinary Incontinence...
Urge Urinary IncontinenceUrinary Urge Incontinence (UUI) is the involuntary urine loss associated with a strong sensation to void. UUI usually associated with reduced bladder capacity. The pathophysiology is unclear. Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction and detrusor instability have been suggested as possible mechanisms. Standard treatment includes anticholinergic medication and behavior modification. The study aims to compare the long term effectiveness of 4 different approaches to the treatment of women with Urge Urinary Incontinence (UUI): Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation (includes muscle training+behavioral intervention+bladder training) Pelvic Floor muscle training alone Bladder Training alone Drug treatment with Tolterodine. Study variables will include: impairment ratings, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness. This study addresses three issues: The long term efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the various treatment options. To identify the factors involved in determining the effectiveness of drug or behavioral therapy. The pathophysiology of UUI. By subdividing the rehabilitation group into 3 arms, we hope to shed light on the mechanism of dysfunction. A better response in one group will help localize the problem to pelvic floor muscles or to detrusor instability.
A New Therapeutic Strategy for Urethral Sphincter Insufficiency
Stress Urinary IncontinenceUrethral Intrinsic Sphincter DeficiencyStress urinary incontinence is a frequent condition that can be caused by urethral sphincter insufficiency and results in a dramatic deterioration of the quality of life. We developed a new therapeutic strategy for stress urinary incontinence based on the implantation myofibers with their satellite cells in the urethra. The aim of this procedure is to generate functional tissue acting like a new sphincter in the urethra
Regaining Bladder Control in Postmenopausal Women With Osteoporosis
Urinary IncontinenceConservative management for urinary incontinence has been shown to improve bladder control. We are conducting a study of the effectiveness of conservative management for urinary incontinence in women who also have osteoporosis. We hope to find that treatment for incontinence improves bladder control and thereby allows women to be more active and reduces their risk of falling and breaking bones.
