Active clinical trials for "Urinary Incontinence"

Two arms of women who suffer from clinical stress urinary incontinence. Women will be divided randomly into two arms. One arm will be treated with vaginal Erbium laser and the second with Sham laser, three treatments each. Follow up will be done 6 and 12 months after the last treatment.

background:Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the most common type of urinary incontinence in women, as it involves involuntary leakage of urine , the current study was To determine the neuromodulation effect of Laser Therapy on Neurogenic Acupoints in female with stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

PURSUIT: Prospective US Radiofrequency SUI Trial (VI-17-06) is a prospective, randomized, sham controlled, double blind study in premenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence. The study will be conducted in 390 subjects, randomized 2:1 with active or sham treatment. Study duration is 12 months post treatment. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of the Viveve treatment, SUI protocol, in improving mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence (SUI), assessed using the 1-hour Pad Weight Test for up to 12 months post-treatment.

To compare the laparoscopic Burch colposuspension with the midurethral slings (TVT, TOT) for treatment of female stress urinary incontinence as regard efficacy and safety.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a malignant tumor commonly diagnosed among men in the USA and Europe. About 81% of cases of prostate cancer are detected early on, which allows patients to receive effective treatment. High risk cancer patients may undergo radical prostatectomy (RP) which includes the removal of the entire prostate gland together with both seminal vesicles, prostatic urethra, and bilateral pelvic lymph nodes. Even though RP has been improved over decades, patients are still at risk of surgical and post-surgical complications. The most common complications include urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Pelvic floor muscle training is recognized as the physiotherapeutic modality for the treatment of urinary incontinence in men after radical prostatectomy. This method is recommended by the European Association of Urology. However, the literature analysis and systematic review carried out by our team prove that there are relatively few clinical trials with a well-developed research protocol assessing this form of therapy. In order to objectify the effects of therapy, we will assess both psychosocial aspects, as well as try to answer the question whether biochemical parameters can be a marker of pelvic floor muscles. In previous own research, we obtained promising results by examining biochemical parameters during pelvic floor muscle activity in women with stress urinary incontinence.

The hypothesis of the present study is low intensity extracorporeal low energy shock wave therapy (LiESWT) can decrease inflammatory disorders, increase pelvic floor blood supply, enhanced bladder stem cell activation, Using LiESWT can decrease bladder overactivity, eliminate urinary incontinence and improve stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms. Therefore improve quality of life and improve social activity.

Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as any involuntary loss of urine and can be divided into three types: urgency, stress and mixed. Pelvic floor exercises are considered the main non pharmacological choice for UI treatment. Its mechanisms are not fully understood, however there are some evidence that central mechanisms play an important role in the continence control. In this context, neuromodulatory techniques, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), that address cortical targets has been demonstrated promising results in different health conditions. However, few studies have investigated the efficacy of adding tDCS to exercise therapies for women with UI.

This pilot study examines safety and efficacy of a simple procedure for treatment of stress urinary incontinence. A muscle biopsy is taken from the thigh, minced and injected into the urethral sphincter.

Develop and quantify methods for evaluating bladder dysfunction in diabetes and stroke

This trial is a pathophysiological study evaluating the impact of a cognitive therapy on the perineal neuromuscular mechanisms in women patients with urinary incontinence. Some research works have been realized on the impact of a cognitive load test (CLT) on the neuromuscular continence urinary mechanisms. It had been demonstrated that a CLT induced an increase in the latency of voluntary perineal contraction. It had also been demonstrated that a CLT had an influence on the involuntary perineal contraction pre-activation. Most recently, the impact of a cognitive therapy on the perineal neuromuscular mechanisms on healthy participants had been evaluated. It demonstrated that a cognitive therapy inhibited the impact of the CLT on the perineal neuromuscular mechanisms. The present project is about the evaluation of the interest of a cognitive therapy on the neuromuscular mechanisms in case of attentional test in a urinary incontinent women population. It could conduce to new therapeutic leads for the management of urinary incontinence.
