Active clinical trials for "Urinary Incontinence"

The 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.

The purpose of this prospective cohort study is to investigate the effect of sling on urethral dynamic shape and motion using static and dynamic pelvic floor ultrasound and additionally compare the findings among women with successful vs failed surgical outcome.

Urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction are potential side effects for men undergoing the successful removal of the cancerous prostate via surgery. Hypothermic cooling via the investigational Endorectal Cooling Balloon has been shown by our group to significantly reduce long term urinary incontinence and may reduce sexual dysfunction in men after robotic prostatectomy, and improve the patient's long term quality of life (QOL). However before successful translation of the endorectal balloon can proceed into the world wide usage, we must understand: How effectively the tissues for continence and sexual function are cooled within the pelvis. What is the capacity of vascularized structures (i.e. the neurovascular bundle) to 'cool sink' or diminish the effective cooling and Determine if the endorectal balloon can be re-designed for improved QOL outcomes in men. This research study marries two new techniques of Thermal MRI imaging and Endorectal cooling for prostate cancer surgery. MRI is non-invasive. A simple confirmation of effective hypothermic cooling can be achieved by novel MRI thermal mapping of the cooling gradient as it comprehensively sweeps through the rectum across the urogenital pelvis. MRI with temperature adaptive software can accurately map these gradients with non-invasive technique, and answer formidable questions of the effectiveness of hypothermic cooling of the prostate and its direct translation into improved continence and sexual function after surgery. The purpose of this research study is to use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Thermal MRI with subjects who will receive the investigational endorectal cooling balloon to help further understand how the cooling balloon works, which may translate to other uses in the future, including the diagnosis of patients at a high risk of developing prostate cancer.

VA community-based outpatient clinics (CBOCs) typically serve only a small number of women Veterans, and generally do not have the women's health care resources that are available in larger settings. Women Veterans using these sites for primary care must sometimes travel to other sites to receive women's health care. That can create travel burdens, reduce continuity of care, and negatively affect patient outcomes. To address this, VA is implementing a clinical operations innovation that supports women's primary care providers with a technology-based intervention that combines interactive communication with women's health specialists and ongoing education. This research study is evaluating the implementation and effects of this women's healthcare delivery innovation. Findings from this research will inform VA women's health clinical practice and education, and will advance science in delivering technology-supported non-face-to-face care that is applicable to other clinical conditions and patient populations.

Validation of the Korean version of the ICIQ-UI SF for pregnant and postpartum women Evaluation the effect of urinary incontinence in pregnant and postpartum women.

The overall goal of this study is to test whether an electronic pelvic floor questionnaire (e-PAQ-PF) will increase discussion rates of incontinence in a primary care setting.

The purpose of this study was to test the suitability of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging for the pelvic floor floor, bladder neck and urethra in healthy volunteers, in stress incontinent patient and in women with genital prolapse.

The purpose of this research study is to identify if the cough stress test is equal to the 24hour pad test in assessing stress urinary incontinence.

Stress urinary incontinence affects nearly 30 million women worldwide and the main goal of surgical treatment is to stop urinary incontinence (urinary leakage) that occurs with physical activity, coughing, sneezing, etc.Patients in the study will have an operation to improve urinary incontinence symptoms. This will involve inserting a mesh sling to help support the urethra (tube leading into your bladder). During the operation, the study doctor will use tension-free vaginal obturator system. The study will include women diagnosed with Stress Urinary Incontinence who have completed their families.

A pre-market, prospective, non-randomized acute feasibility study for the treatment of patients with urinary incontinence (UI) as a consequence of urinary incontinence.
