Bladder Antimuscarinic Medication and Accidental Bowel Leakage
Urinary IncontinenceUrge1 moreThis observational research study will examine whether a medication known as darifenacin (Enablex ®) used for urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) also helps to improve fecal incontinence symptoms. Darifenacin is FDA approved for UUI, but is not FDA approved for fecal incontinence or specifically for dual incontinence (treatment of urinary incontinence and fecal incontinence at the same time). If participants are eligible for this study, they will have had symptoms of bothersome urgency urinary incontinence and fecal incontinence, and have decided to try medication for urgency urinary incontinence. Darifenacin (Enablex ®) is an oral medication which relaxes the bladder muscle to help prevent urgency urinary leakage. It is commonly used to treat overactive bladder and urgency urinary leakage. There is some evidence that this medication may also help with fecal incontinence by slowing the gut and preventing loose stools. Investigators are planning to enroll approximately 30 patients who have both UUI and fecal incontinence and who choose medical treatment as a part of their standard care.
Mixed Urinary Incontinence Symptoms Before and After Treatment With Botox and Bulkamid
Mixed IncontinenceUrge and StressThis study compares mixed urinary incontinence symptoms before and after a combined treatment with Botox and Bulkamid. Eligible for the study are adult females with a mixed urinary incontinence, having both urgency urinary symptoms and stress urinary symptoms.
Direct Full-stage Implantation of Sacral Neuromodulation
Urinary BladderOveractive1 moreThe purpose of this investigator-initiated study is to investigate the efficacy and costs of direct full stage sacral neuromodulation in patients with overactive bladder. Patients with refractory OAB and urge urinary incontinence will undergo direct full stage implantation and be followed for a period of 6 months to monitor symptom improvement with voiding diaries and validated questionnaires preoperatively and postoperatively. Therapeutic and adverse outcomes will be evaluated. The use of medical resources and time off of work will be analyzed as well. This will be a descriptive study with no additional arms or randomization.
AURA 1: Augmenting Urinary Reflex Activity: Study 1
Overactive BladderUrge IncontinenceAURA 1 (Augmenting Urinary Reflex Activity: study 1) is a study that evaluates the electrophysiological responses of pudendal nerve stimulation using short-duration extracorporeal stimulation
Examining Bladder Control Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI)...
Urinary IncontinenceUrgeUrgency incontinence (where the bladder muscles contract suddenly, causing an immediate urge to urinate that is difficult to prevent) is commonly experienced in patients with overactive bladder. New findings have discovered that urgency incontinence may be connected to the interactions of certain regions of the brain and the bladder. Although this is a common problem, researchers still do not know how these interactions impact the process of urgency incontinence. The purpose of this study is to better understand how the brain functions, by using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) to create images of the brain during different bladder states.
Brain Imaging Plus Urodynamics to Investigate the Brain's Control of the Bladder
Urge Urinary IncontinenceThe goal of this project is to evaluate the applicability of non-invasive optical imaging for the measurement of brain function during investigation of the lower urinary tract.
PTNS on Urinary and Global Quality of Life in MS Patients
Multiple SclerosisLower Urinary Tract Symptoms4 moreThis is a single-centered, prospective, longitudinal, observational cohort study of patients with MS who suffer from lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and are refractory to two prior treatment modalities who have elected to pursue PTNS therapy for LUTS.
Age-stratified Outcome of Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercise for Urinary Incontinence
Stress Urinary IncontinenceUrge Urinary IncontinenceIn this retrospective study the outcome of pelvic floor muscle training in 150 women will be tested regarding patients reported satisfaction and achievement of the incontinence improvement. Comparison of two age groups, controlled for BMI, parity and previous incontinence operations.
Severity of Fecal Incontinence and Manometric Values Using the Anopress® Device in Women
Fecal IncontinenceAnal; Sphincter3 moreThe purpose of this study is to stablish a correlation between fecal incontinence severity scales (Wexner & St. Mark's) and manometric values obtained using the Anopress® portable manometry and values obtained using endoanal ultrasound in women with fecal incontinence.
