Health Interventions in Men Undergoing Radical Prostatectomy
Prostate CancerErectile Dysfunction Following Radical Prostatectomy1 moreThe goal of the study is to assess the impact of a health intervention, involving both diet and exercise modification, on outcomes following radical prostatectomy for the treatment of clinically localized prostate cancer. The specific urological outcomes expected to be improved are accelerated and/or improved recovery of erectile function (EF), as well as urinary continence, both very commonly affected by this surgery. Furthermore, as demonstrated by changes in responses to various questionnaires, an improvement in overall health-related quality of life is expected. Finally, an improvement in patients participating in the intervention groups in physical parameters, including body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), and metabolic parameters, including serum glucose and cholesterol levels, is expected.

Pelvic Floor DisordersStress Urinary Incontinence1 moreThe purpose of this study is to assess the increase in knowledge of pregnant patients regarding pelvic floor disorders when comparing two educational interventions: written handouts vs interactive workshops.
The Relationship of Neuropathic Pain With Incontinence, Disability and Life Quality in Multiple...
Multiple SclerosisDisabilities Multiple5 moreThe aim of this study to evaluate the relationship of neuropathic pain with urinary and bowel incontinence, functional disability and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Pacific Northwest Female Urinary Incontinence Treatment Digital Awareness Project
Urinary IncontinenceThe investigators will compare whether advertisements on Google or Facebook are more effective to reach women in the Pacific Northwest about treatment options for urinary incontinence through the American Urogynecologic Society's patient education website, VoicesForPFD.org. The investigators hypothesize there is no difference in the overall population engagement between these two platforms due to anticipated higher reach through Facebook based on user characteristics but higher engagement through Google due to higher user interest on this platform.
Pilates Pelvic Floor Strengthening Program to Improve Urinary Incontinence
Stress Urinary IncontinenceDoes a twice weekly, 12-week Pilates pelvic floor strengthening program improve short- and long-term measures of stress urinary incontinence symptoms in women ages 45-70 years of age?
Do Patient Anxiety Levels Decrease Urodynamic Test Reproducibility?
AnxietyOveractive Bladder5 moreThis study will look at how pre-test anxiety levels affect the reproducibility of symptoms during routine urodynamic testing in women. Urodynamics is a test that assesses the function of the lower urinary tract, including the bladder.

Study Evaluating the Ability of a NIRS Module to Detect a Urodynamic Variation in Humans (DETTECH)...
Urinary DisordersUrinary Incontinence1 moreNIRS technology is therefore a technique that exploits the different absorption properties of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin to evaluate the degree of tissue oxygenation. This hemodynamic response is measured in a completely non-invasive and silent manner, by the simple emission of light passing through different layers of biological tissue. In the literature, some studies concerning the use of the NIRS method for the study of urodynamics exist. They seem to show a correlation between the data of the urodynamic assessment and the data obtained with the NIRS method. Certain trends seem to be repeated with, for example, an increase in oxyhemoglobin at the beginning of the filling phase and the beginning of the urination phase. The aim of the study is to analyze the NIRS signal and find correlation with urodynamic data.
