Active clinical trials for "Urinary Incontinence"

Homeopathic Medicine Causticum 200c will be prescribed in cases of Primary Enuresis on the basis of available symptoms for a period of one year and the results will be evaluated at the end of the given period and efficacy of the drug will be assessed.

Introduction: Minimally invasive procedures TOT (tension-free suburethral tape using transobturator approach)have been the standard for correction of SUI. However, around 28% of these patients exhibit alteration of urinary flow. Recently, in 40 patients who underwent open surgery, an abdominal fascia tape was placed in a subtrigonal position with a success rate of 87.5% without obstruction. Our intention is to make the most of the idea of subtrigonal position in minimally invasive procedures with transobturator polypropylene vaginal tape (S-TOT). Object of the Study: To evaluate the efficacy and security of S-TOT compared with TOT. Materials and Methods: Study Population: Patients of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) with an SUI diagnosis. Eligibility requirements: history of at least 3 months with symptoms of isolated SUI or symptoms of SUI associated with urge urinary incontinence (mixed UI). The size of the sample was estimated 34 subjects are required per group. Study Design: It is a parallel group randomized clinical trial. Success (efficacy) will be defined as when the SUI has been corrected with negative pad test and normal urinary flow. The results (efficacy) will be compared between the two groups using chi2 (group a/b versus success/lack of success). In all cases, p <0.05 will be considered significant. The data will be obtained with clinical evaluation, laboratory and radiological/imaging tests and the respective questionnaires during the visits before surgery, and at 2 and 6 weeks, and 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery.

The purpose of the present study is to compare two different physiotherapy programs regarding their effect on stress urinary incontinence.

Evaluate the feasability and security of the autologous ASC for the femenine stress urinary incontinence

Investigators will test S2-S4 dermatome stimulation with spinal cord injury (SCI) individuals using intermittent catheterization to estimate the clinical impact on bladder capacity and continence. For individuals with SCI using intermittent catheterization, investigators hypothesize that dermatome stimulation will decrease bladder spasm frequency and intensity, and reduce bladder incontinence chronically. The goal of this study is to provide objective evidence for the assertion that dermatome stimulation chronically decreases bladder activity and therefore the unwanted side effects of neurogenic bladder. This project will improve the understanding of the neurophysiology of afferent-mediated neural pathways that affect bladder function, and translate recent advances discovered in animal and human studies into clinical research and treatment. The ability to void safely and effectively by electrical stimulation without cutting sacral nerves or the external urethral sphincter would be a major advance. A socially acceptable, predictable and reliable device for reducing incontinence would be widely used and improve quality of life.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a self-therapeutic approach of skin adhesive low-level light therapy (LLLT) in females with Overactive Bladder (OAB) and Urinary Incontinence (UI)

In the current scientific literature, it is clear that SUI can cause several social, hygienic and personal relationship problems. It has also been proven that this condition affects many more menopausal women than menacme, and this is believed to be due to the hypoestrogenism characteristic of this phase. On the other hand, weakness of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) is also related to the genesis of SUI. The role of these muscles would be to keep the bladder neck elevated (above the pubic symphysis) during increases in abdominal pressure, and its weakness would lead to excessive lowering of the bladder neck at these times, leading to SUI due to bladder neck hypermobility. The conservative treatment of this condition, therefore, encompasses the strengthening of PFMs, which would avoid excessive descent of the bladder neck during increases in abdominal pressure, thereby reducing urinary loss. In the current literature there are studies proving the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training; however, in relation to the literature on abdominal hipopressive gymnastics, it is observed that the scientific evidence is still poor, however, the technique is still Widely spread through extension courses offered throughout Latin America, France and Spain; With regard to the comparison of these methods with respect to their clinical efficacy and the quality of life and patient satisfaction, there are no consistent studies, and this fact motivated us to carry out this study.

The pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is a conservative treatment, currently considered as first line for women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). However, in practice, about 30 to 50% of women are unable to perform the correct contraction of the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs). When requested to perform the muscle contraction, the contraction of the gluteal muscles, hip adductors, or abdominal muscles is observed initially, rather of contraction of the levator anus muscle. Some factors make it difficult to perform the contraction of the PFM, such as its location on the pelvic floor, and its small size, followed by a lack of knowledge of the pelvic region, as well as its functions. Associated with these factors is the use of the muscles adjacent to the PFM, as previously mentioned. In order for women to benefit from a PFMT program for the treatment of SUI, the awareness phase of PFM can't be omitted, since the literature is unanimous in stating that pelvic exercises improve the recruitment capacity of the musculature, its tone and reflex coordination during the effort activities.

The goal of this research study is to investigate the effect of a new neuromuscular approach for correcting pelvic alignment and improving pelvic floor muscle function. Investigators hypothesized that this approach would be significantly superior than no intervention to improve the ability of pelvic floor muscle contraction, measured by transabdominal sonography as bladder base elevation. Participants will be randomized to the intervention and control groups. while intervention group will receive five supervised sessions of pelvic realigning exercises, the control group will receive no intervention. Bladder base elevation will be measured as an indicator of pelvic floor muscle function, before and after one week intervention in both control and intervention groups.

Nocturnal enuresis is a worldwide health problem frequently encountered in childhood . It affects 18 % of younger school- age children in Egypt. It is the most frequent (85%) type of enuresis in children (Eberdt-Gołabek et al, 2013), . Nocturnal enuresis includes monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis with no day time urinary symptoms and non monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis that accompanied by day time urinary symptoms . It can cause severe psychological and social distress to children and their parents . The currently recommended treatment such as alarms , antidiuretic hormone and anticholenergics are not effective in all children with significant relapse rate . Although it's mechanism of action is not fully elucidated , posterior tibial nerve stimulation is safe and acceptable, with evidence of potential clinical effect for both bladder and bowel dysfunction (Bellette et al, 2009). This study will investigate the effect of posterior tibial nerve stimulation on primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis in children.
