Active clinical trials for "Urinary Incontinence"

The aim of this prospective, randomized controlled study is to evaluate and compare efficacy between the most available conservative treatment (magnetic stimulation and Kegel exercise) for stress urinary incontinence in Croatia. We will assess quality-of-life, patient global improvement, and vaginal pressure measured with perineometer in three different time points: at the enrollment, after 8 weeks of treatment and 3 months after the both treatments are done.

Registry to gather information about the long term use of the Prefyx PPS System for the treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI).

This is a observational study in patients treated with fesoterodine (Toviaz), who have failed on previous treatment for overactive bladder. It will collect epidemiological data and investigate the efficacy and tolerability of fesoterodine.

The specific aim of this proposed pilot study is to compare two standardized processes (paper and electronic) to deliver a customized MedlinePlus health information prescription.

Urge urinary incontinence (UUI) is a common health problem. Changes in collagen metabolism in pelvic support organs, such as uterosacral ligaments (USLs), might be responsible for the complex pathophysiology of UUI. The TGF-β pathway is involved in collagen synthesis and degradation. The Transforming Growth Family- β (TGF-β) superfamily has essential intracellular signaling components, such as newly identified SMAD family members. We evaluated the changes in the levels of TGF-β and SMAD gene and protein expression in the USL of patients with concomitant pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and UUI.

The objective of the study is to retrospectively collect the data on patients who underwent pelvic organ prolapse treatment using a non-ablative Er:YAG laser with SMOOTH mode and to conduct an objective evaluation of safety and efficacy of Er:YAG laser treatment. In a group of patients that have concomitant stress urinary incontinence symptoms, the effectiveness of the treatments on these symptoms will be evaluated as well.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinological disorder in women of reproductive age, and its prevalence is reported to be 6-21% in women aged 15-49 (1). Although its etiopathogenesis is still not clear, it is known that it is due to the disregulation of ovarian steroidogenesis under the influence of some environmental and genetic factors. Diagnosis of ESHRE / ASRM has set Rotterdam criteria in 2003; one of these criteria is the presence of hyperandrogenism (2). Hyperandrogenism leads to an increase in general muscle mass in the body (1, 3, 4). Pelvic floor muscles are associated with urethra in the anterior compartment, rectum and anus in the posterior compartment, and uterine support in the apex; major urinary and fecal continence ensuring its functions in order to stop in the appropriate position of the pelvic organs (5). The well-being of the pelvic floor muscle strength has a protective effect from urinary and fecal incontinence. It has been emphasized that the "anogenital distance" determined by the measurement of the anal region anterior to the clitoris anterior may also be a criteria in the diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (7,8,9). In this study, patients in the reproductive age between 18-40 years, who applied to our gynecology outpatient clinic and were diagnosed as PCOS according to Rotterdam criteria wil be study gorup and the women without PCOS will be control group. We aimed to evaluate the pelvic muscle strength with perineometry, to measure anogenital distance and to determine possible relationships with each other. In addition to demographic information, ICIQ-SF (Urinary incontinence inquiry short form) will also be taken to evaluate pelvic floor function (10).

It will be investigate if women with a diaper grant in Aalborg Municipality can reduce diaper size and thus costs for diapers in the municipality through meetings with a incontinence nurse and pelvic floor exercises.

Pediatric patients with sickle cell disease are at greater risk for exhibiting nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) compared to the general population. This increased risk has been attributed to a decreased ability to concentrate urine caused by sickling-induced nephropathy. The sociodemographic, psychosocial, and medical factors associated with nocturnal enuresis are not well defined. In addition, the impact of these behaviors on emotional and behavioral functioning, along with health-related quality of life are not clear. Despite the availability of evidence-based interventions for nocturnal enuresis, very few families with a child with sickle cell disease have utilized these methods. The reasons for this underutilization of interventions are not clear.

A single-center retrospective chart review of AdVance and AdVance XP subject data, combined with prospective follow-up of the same subjects to confirm continence, adverse event, and quality of life status. This study includes patients previously implanted with an AdVance or AdVance XP male sling.
