Pelvic Organ ProlapseUrinary Incontinence,Stress4 moreThis study evaluates the addition of a laparoscopic Burch colposuspension procedure at the time of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy to prevent stress urinary incontinence. Half of the participants will undergo Burch colposuspension procedure at the time of sacrocolpopexy, and half of the participants will undergo sacrocolpopexy alone.
Effects of Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation for Overactive Bladder Symptoms in Adults
Overactive BladderUrge Incontinence1 moreFor overactive bladder symptoms, there are numerous physiotherapy techniques have been found to be beneficial. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve is one of those treatment options, that is entirely a non-invasive, easy to apply, and cost-effective technique. Transcutaneous stimulation of the tibial nerve targets the sacral nerve plexus that contracts the pelvic floor muscles and controls the bladder function. This research aims to study the effectiveness of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation in adults with overactive bladder symptoms along with the conventional physiotherapy for overactive bladder (pelvic floor muscle training through Kegel's exercises) among 60 patients with overactive bladder symptoms on the basis of non-probability purposive sampling technique with screening for study criteria through a consultant urologist. After taking informed consent, all participants will be randomly allocated into two groups. Group A will receive pelvic floor muscles training through Kegels exercises along with transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve and Group B will receive pelvic floor muscles training through Kegels exercises. The treatment duration will of six weeks. Outcomes will be assessed before the start of the treatment and after the end of the treatment sessions.

Study of AOBO-001 for Overactive Bladder With Urge Urinary Incontinence and Frequency
Overactive BladderThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of the study product, AOBO-001, when taken by adults with symptoms of overactive bladder. AOBO-001, is experimental, which means that the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not yet approved it for use. AOBO-001 has been approved in China as a prescription drug product to treat bedwetting in children. AOBO-001 is also approved in Hong Kong as a dietary supplement to improve quality of life for people with urinary incontinence. AOBO-001 is a botanical (from a plant) product. It is prepared from the seeds of Xanthoceras sorbifolia bunge plant, which is a flowering tree grown in Northern China. Approximately 60 subjects who are 18 years of age and older are expected to participate in this study at up to 8 investigational sites. Each subject will complete 6 visits to the study site over a 14-week period. Subjects will consume 8 capsules of the assigned test product twice daily (that is, 16 capsules daily). Capsules will be taken with at least 6 ounces of water approximately 30 minutes before breakfast and 30 minutes before dinner. If a subject qualifies, he/she will be randomly (by chance) assigned to one of three study treatment groups. Subjects in one group will consume capsules containing a daily dose of 3.2 grams of AOBO-001; a second group will consume capsules containing a daily dose of 6.4 grams of AOBO-001; and a third group will consume capsules containing a placebo (no active ingredients). Subjects will have a 2 in 3 chance of being assigned to an active study treatment group. Neither the subject nor the study doctor will know to which study treatment group the subject has been assigned, but this information is available in case of a medical emergency. There will be a time during the study dosing schedule when all subjects will consume capsules containing a placebo (no active ingredients). Subjects will not be told when they are receiving the placebo.
Understanding the Response to Fesoterodine Through Genetic Evaluation in the Elderly (URGE)
Urge Urinary IncontinenceUrge urinary incontinence, characterized by unpredictable and embarrassing large volume urine leakage, is a major health issue for elderly women, as it is incredibly common and significantly impairs quality of life. Although anticholinergic medications are the most common therapy, the investigators are unable to predict an individual's response to a particular drug in terms of both effectiveness and side effects. Through genetic evaluation, the investigators have the potential to personalize and optimize drug therapy for millions of elderly women suffering from urge incontinence.
Slow Paced-Respiration Intervention to Reduce Incontinence Trial (SPIRIT)
Urinary IncontinenceUrgeUrgency incontinence is a common and burdensome problem in women. Current treatments for this condition, while effective, are associated with potentially disabling side effects and high rates of discontinuation. There is an urgent need for alternate treatments for urgency incontinence that are both clinically effective and well-tolerated by women in the community. RESPeRATE is a commercially available "walkman-like" device that measures chest/abdominal excursion during respiration using an elastic belt with a sensor placed around the torso over clothing. The device senses respiration and uses musical tones keyed to inhalation and exhalation to help the user slow respiration and prolong exhalation to a recommended goal of less than 10 breaths per minute. RESPeRATE is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of mild hypertension, and use of the device has also been shown to decrease self-reported anxiety and stress, oxygen consumption, and respiratory rate. Because anxiety and stress are strongly associated with urgency incontinence, and common behavioral strategies for managing incontinence emphasize relaxation and slow breathing at the time of an urgency episode, paced respiration may also be useful in treating urgency incontinence and/or decreasing its burden on quality of life. We propose to conduct a 6-week pilot randomized controlled trial of slow paced respiration using the RESPeRATE device among 30 women with urgency incontinence to assess the feasibility of recruiting and teaching women to use the RESPeRATE device as well as to gather preliminary data on the efficacy of slow paced respiration for treatment of urgency incontinence and related symptoms. Participants will complete a 7-day voiding diary and complete questionnaires to measure outcome.

A Group-Based Therapeutic Yoga Intervention for Urinary Incontinence in Ambulatory Older Women
Stress IncontinenceFemale8 moreThe investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of a group-based yoga intervention to decrease the frequency and impact of urinary incontinence in ambulatory middle-aged and older women and explore potential mediators of improvement in outcomes. Women aged 45 years and older who report daily or more frequent stress-, urgency-, or mixed-type incontinence, are not already engaged in formal yoga or muscle stretching/strengthening programs, are willing to temporarily forgo other clinical treatments for incontinence, are able to walk to and use the bathroom without assistance, and meet other eligibility criteria will be recruited from multiple locations surrounding the San Francisco Bay area.
