Active clinical trials for "Urinary Incontinence"

The study will investigate the safety and efficacy of UroGen's TC-3 Gel for sustained release of Botulinum Toxin A (BTX) in urinary bladder in patients with idiopathic overactive bladder.

More than one in three US women suffers from the distressing, embarrassing, and often unreported problem of urinary incontinence (UI). UI severity increases with age and the financial cost exceeds $19 billion per year . The Adult Conservative Management Committee of the 2008 International Consultation on Incontinence concluded that pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) should be offered as first line therapy to all women with stress, urge, or mixed UI; and that bladder training (BT) may be preferred to drug therapy. Conservative strategies are low risk and differ from other forms of UI management in that they do not prejudice future treatments. They also may decrease symptoms of urgency and frequency that do not entail UI, but greatly reduce the quality of life for nearly 1 in 11 US women.

The Investigators decided to examine whether the Paula method is more effective than Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) in terms of urinary leakage amount, as it measured by pad test in menopause women without an hormonal therapy. In addition to the pad test and two urinary incontinence questionnaires, we will use other assessment tools such as; quality of life and sexual function which have been found to correlate significantly with pad test results. These results may indicate that menopausal women with Stress Urinary Incontinence may be more successful controlling incontinence if they will practice the Paula method as compared to PFMT.

Constipation treatment has been found to ameliorate symptoms in some patients with nocturnal enuresis (bed wetting at night). This study aims to explore if treatment of patients without overt constipation (As defined by the ROME III criteria) will also respond to stool softening and GI behavioral therapy with reduction of their urinary tract symptoms when added to standard urotherapy.

This is a randomized, double blinded placebo controlled trial over a period of 3 months. Study subjects will be randomized into 2 groups: Those receiving drug (1gm of estrogen vaginal cream [EVC] at bed time 3 times a week), and those receiving placebo.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether Botulinum-A toxin injected in the bladder muscle will help prevent the frequency and degree of urinary incontinence in Spinal Cord Injured and Multiple Sclerosis patients. The proposed mechanism would be that the Toxin would allow the bladder to hold more urine at a lower pressure as determined by Urodynamics. The research will answer the question whether the dosages 300 units vs 400 units are either equally vs not equally effective in helping urinary incontinece and bladder storage.

This study examined whether self-efficacy promoted adherence to Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) and Bladder Training (BT) in women aged 55 and older.

To document usage of the Urovac device among 30 initial users of the device in an acute rehabilitation facility, with analysis of whether and how patients benefitted, challenges encountered, and how benefits and challenges varied by patient type.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a highly prevalent concern within the female population. Although mid urethral slings (MUS) have been the first line treatment for SUI for almost twenty years, due to recent FDA warnings and many countries banning the use of vaginal mesh, a significant portion of patients now request non-mesh anti-incontinence procedures. In such cases, Burch colposuspension would be the next option discussed with patients. In the short term, the efficacy of Burch colposuspension is comparable to MUS. However, the noteworthy disadvantages of Burch colposuspension include a high rate of urinary retention. This increased risk of urinary retention is due to the acute angle of the stitches, and is a problem that Burch colposuspension shares with the retropubic sling, a type of acutely-angled MUS. A variant of the retropubic sling, the transobturator tape (TOT), has shown that a rounder angle of elevation significantly reduces the risk of urinary retention. As such, this study proposes a novel technique of laparoscopic obturator urethropexy (LOU) as an alternative to the traditional Burch colposuspension. In this new proposed technique, stitches are placed into the obturator internus fascia rather than Cooper's ligament, reducing the angle of elevation of the bladder neck, aiming to lower the risk of post-operative urinary retention. The aim of our randomized control trial is to assess the effectiveness of LOU compared to Burch colposuspension in terms of urinary continence. Our secondary aim is to report on perioperative and postoperative complications, functional outcomes including urinary retention, recurrent urinary tract infection, recurrent/persistent urgency, de novo urgency, recurrent SUI, and sexual function, as well as overall quality of life.

The main objective is to co-design and assess the practicality of group-based Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) programme in pregnant women. The co-design of the PFMT programme will involve the stakeholder meeting. The feasibility of the group-based Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) programme will be achieved by using ICIQ-SF questionnaire before intervention, the completion time of the intervention and 42-day after delivery. Pregnant women with or without UI at Nanjing maternity and child health care hospital will be offered to participate if they meet the criteria of the research. Participants will be randomized into two groups, interventions and control group that gets standard care at the hospital. The intervention group will meet the midwife to receive supervised group-based PFMT once a month for 4 months in groups. Doing correct PFMT during pregnancy can help women to prevent or decrease the risk of developing UI in pregnancy and postnatal period.
