Active clinical trials for "Urinary Incontinence"

Clinical Evaluation of Fractional Bi-Polar Radio-Frequency for Symptoms of Stress Urinary Incontinence and Vulvovaginal Atrophy

The study is an open-label uncontrolled single-center study for the evaluation of the Performance characteristics (efficacy and safety) of the dermal filler "MMG-23-04-2019" on the female genital area for the medicinal, functional and reconstructive indications.

Pilot study for determining feasibility of home parasacral transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in treatment of urinary urgency and incontinence.

Tibial nerve stimulation (TNS) has been shown to be an effective alternative for the management of the overactive bladder (OAB). Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TTNS) uses a series of regular electrical pulses to stimulate the tibial nerve. Numerous studies have positively shown the efficacy of this treatment. These studies have included multicentric, double-blind, randomized sham-controlled study of patients with idiopathic OAB. , . In 2013 the British National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance has added TTNS as a second-line option for the management of female urinary incontinence , . In reality, the vast majority of patients treated using tibial nerve receive treatment percutaneously (PTNS) by inserting a needle into their lower leg. PTNS requires 12 visits to a physician's office and a painful treatment experience. From a physician's perspective PTNS is resource intensive in terms of time, financial and staff commitments. As a result, PTNS is often not a feasible option from the point of view of health care delivery. Moreover, the treatment may not be an option for patients whose schedule or ability to travel is limited. These issues are exacerbated for those with disabilities requiring special transport arrangements and who have trouble committing to 12 expensive and long trips to receive treatment. Additionally, 8% of patients who undergo PTNS complain of adverse effects which include pain, bruising, tingling or bleeding at the insertion site of the 34-gauge needle. As a direct result of these limitations long-term follow up studies of patients undergoing PTNS treatment show poor compliance to PTNS over time . Non-invasive, homecare TTNS devices such as the ZIDA Wearable Neuromodulation System are on the cusp of achieving regulatory clearance. TTNS, stimulates transcutaneously at a home-based setting and at least one study has explored the efficacy of this treatment method . Early results have demonstrated improvements in OAB symptom scores and urodynamic parameters . So far, these studies have employed standard commercial TENS devices (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation). These studies have used a variety of treatment frequencies to stimulate the tibial nerve at frequencies between 10 to 40 Hz, patient have been advised which pre-determined stimulation settings can be used for home care treatment. Commercial TENS devices limit mobility of patients during the time that the nerve is being stimulated.

This is a prospective interventional study conducted at Oregon Health & Science University that will measure the pre- and post-intervention characteristics of women with stress urinary incontinence undergoing an 8-week home yoga-Pilates intervention. The investigators plan to deliver this method of exercise to patients through a web-based video in order to increase accessibility and compliance and decrease patient costs. The investigators will assess changes using a pre- and post-treatment 1-day voiding diary, answers to questionnaires International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form and Patient Global Impression of Improvement questionnaire), transperineal ultrasound, and physical exam.

This study was designed as an open label, feasibility, single-center, cross-over prospective study in women with stress urinary incontinence. Subjects served as their own control.

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate and compare the effects of functional magnetic stimulation and pelvic floor muscle training on pelvic floor muscle function, urinary incontinence symptoms and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the effect of functional magnetic stimulation on pelvic floor muscle function, symptoms of urinary incontinence and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence? What is the effect of pelvic floor muscle training program on pelvic floor muscle function, symptoms of urinary incontinence and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence? Which intervention is more effective - functional magnetic stimulation or pelvic floor muscle training program? Participants will be evaluated before and after the intervention with the following methods: International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF); Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-Short Form (IIQ-7); Pelvic floor muscle strength and endurance will be assessed with a "Pelvexiser" perineometer.

The main goal of this study is to see if group pelvic floor training before surgery can help prevent urinary incontinence after Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) surgery. The study has the potential to inform preoperative intervention strategies for managing incontinence after HoLEP.

The following clinical trial investigates the efficacy of transvaginal radiofrequency in the physiotherapy treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The treatment compares transvaginal radiofrequency with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) and PFMT alone. The present study is a randomized controlled trial with double blinding (evaluator and patients). The objective is to evaluate what radiofrequency can provide in the improving of the quality of life, symptoms and pelvic floor muscle strength of patients with SUI. The reason for the combination with PFMT, is that it is the golden standard treatment in pelvic floor rehabilitation and SUI improvement.

The purpose of this study is compare the effectiveness of Incoxil food supplement and pelvic floor muscle training with pelvic floor muscle training alone in the treatment of women with stress dominant urinary incontinence.
