36 Clinical Trials for Overactive Bladder
To assess the post-market clinical outcomes of the Axonics SNM System for treatment of overactive bladder in male patients.
This research study is being done to compare the effectiveness two drugs: an extended release torsemide (ERT) versus generic immediate release Torsemide (IRT) in reducing the worsening of symptoms of Overactive Bladder (OAB i.e., frequency, urgency, or urgency incontinence) in patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF). This study will include CHF patients who experience worsening OAB) symptoms with use of a loop diuretic. The total duration of the study is about eight weeks with a total of nine visits. There will be a screening visit that lasts one to two hours. The screening visit includes history and physical exams, blood draws, and urine analysis. If eligible for the study, participants will receive either generic torsemide or extended release torsemide for the first four weeks. Participants will do a virtual research visit on week one, two and three to submit a symptom diary and answer a questionnaire about urinary symptoms. At four weeks, history and physician exam will be done and blood will be collected. Participants will be assigned to receive either extended release torsemide (if they initially received generic torsemide) and generic torsemide (if they initially received extended release torsemide) for the next four weeks. Participants will attend virtual research visits on week five, six and seven to submit a symptom diary and answer a questionnaire about urinary symptoms. At the end of the study in week eight, they will have history and physical exams and blood draws. Some risks from the study may include side effects of torsemide like acute kidney injury, fluid/electrolyte loss, hypersensitivity reactions and reversible hearing loss/tinnitus.
Overactive bladder (OAB) imposes a significant quality of life, mental health, and economic burdens. OAB with or without Urgency incontinence is associated with depression, sexual dysfunction, and limitation of social interactions and physical activities, which significantly affects quality of life. Non-invasive neuromodulation with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can be used in research settings to investigate responses to focal regional brain activation. In the clinical setting, rTMS normalizes brain activity with associated clinical benefits in conditions such as refractory depression. rTMS has been studied for effects on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in bladder pain and neurogenic lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) populations. Unlike many standard of care OAB interventions, the safety of rTMS is well-reported, including for use in elderly populations and those with cognitive impairment. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to evaluate neuroplasticity is emerging as an essential tool to define OAB phenotypes; however, phenotyping studies guided by mechanistic data are lacking. The effects of central neuromodulation on regions involved OAB mechanisms and associated physiological and clinical responses are unknown. This study will be the first to report neuroplasticity, physiologic, and clinical effects of central neuromodulation with rTMS in adults with OAB.
Purpose: Multiple formulations and brands of botulinum toxin exist on the market today. Only OnabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX®) is currently FDA approved for treatment of overactive bladder. IncobotulinumtoxinA (XEOMIN®) is a similar formulation of botulinum toxin A that has similar dosing and safety profile at onabotulinumtoxinA. OnabotulinumtoxinA is the most expensive formulation on the market. Compare the efficacy of incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin®, Merz Pharmaceuticals) to onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox®, Allergan) for treatment of OAB. Study design: A single-blinded, randomized non-inferiority trial of IncobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin®, Merz Pharmaceuticals) to OnabotulinumtoxinA (Botox®, Allergan) in treatment of OAB. Target Population: The study findings will be applicable to all women 18 years of age or older with OAB symptoms associated with urinary urgency incontinence. Procedure: All patients that presents to urogynecology clinic at Walter Reed National Medical Military Center will be screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients that meet criteria will be offered to participate in the study. After enrollment patient will complete demographics data sheet, 24 hours bladder diary, OAB-q SF, PGI-S, PISQ-IR. Patients will be randomized by the principal investigator and the allocated treatment will be reveled by the treating provider to the treating provider only. Patient will have a follow up at 2-6 weeks and 6-9 months after procedure. During the follow up appointments patient will be asked to fill out 24-hour voiding diary, OAB-q SF, PGI-I, PGI-S, and PISQ-IR surveys.
The goal of this pilot study is to assess the impact of yoga as a treatment modality in pediatric patients age 8-18 diagnosed with idiopathic overactive bladder as measured by validated questionnaires and urinary biomarkers. The main question it aims to answer is: Does yoga help improve overactive bladder symptoms in this patient population? Participants will take part in a weekly yoga session for a total of 6 weeks with validated questionnaires and urinary samples for biomarkers to be completed at the beginning, middle and end of the study. This study will follow a cross-over study design and patients will receive standard of care while not in the active treatment arm.
The objective of our multi-center randomized single-blind study is to examine the safety and effect of intra-detrusor OnabotulinumtoxinA injections at the time of holium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in men with overactive bladder symptoms with and without urge incontinence.
The objective of this research is to perform a non-masked, non-inferiority randomized controlled trial to assess the quality of life (QOL) of women with idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB) before and after treatment with percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) of tibial nerve. The target population is patients with OAB who previously failed first- and second-line treatments and desire non-surgical management.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the Emsella Chair therapy to Sham and to determine whether electromagnetic technology is effective in the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB). Currently there are no other studies utilizing the Emsella Chair for the treatment of OAB. Eligible subjects will receive 2 treatments per week for a total of 4 weeks.
OnabotulinumtoxinA is an effective treatment for both idiopathic and neurogenic overactive bladder and was FDA approved for this indication in 2013. The standard technique for injecting onabotulinumtoxinA into the detrusor is mixing 100 units of onabotulinumtoxinA into 10mL of injectable normal saline and injecting 20 sites with 0.5mL in the posterior wall of hte bladder for idiopathic overactive bladder and mixing 200 units into 30mL and injecting 30 sites with 1mL for neurogenic overactive bladder. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of a technique using a reduced number of injections with the same dosage of onabotulinumtoxinA to the standard technique. The hypothesis is that the reduced technique will not be inferior in terms of efficacy as the standard technique and that there will be a lower incidence of urinary tract infections and urinary retention requiring catheterization post-procedure.
With the goal of providing improved treatment to patients with overactive bladder symptoms (OAB), the investigators seek to apply the new technology of time-resolved (cine) MRI combined with urodynamics (UDS) to understand the exact effect of intravesical botulinum toxin on bladder physiology. The investigators will specifically aim to assess the physiological mechanism by which intravesical botulinum alleviates urgency and urge incontinence symptoms in women with OAB refractory to medical therapy.

The APPROVE trial is a multi-centered, randomized controlled trial designed to assess differences in symptom improvement, quality of life, bladder symptoms, satisfaction with treatment and continued treatment efficacy in women with overactive bladder (OAB) randomized to a prescription digital therapeutic (PDTx) app called RiSolve compared to standard behavioral education (handouts).
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition with a prevalence of 17% in the general population that significantly affects quality of life. Intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injections are an advanced therapy for OAB as well as interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). The most common adverse event following intradetrusor injection of onabotulinumtoxinA in urinary tract infection (UTI), which occurs in 8.6-48.1% of patients. To prevent UTIs, patients are given a course of antibiotics, however the ideal prophylactic regimen has not been determined for the timing, duration, and type of antibiotic. Four retrospective studies in the literature address this question with variable conclusions, and there are no prospective studies. Identifying the ideal regimen is important for preventing UTIs as well as minimizing antibiotic use to prevent adverse effects and development of antibiotic resistance. The population to be studied will be female patients 18 years and older who are patients of the urogynecology and urology clinics at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center with a diagnosis of OAB or IC/BPS and have chosen to be treated with intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injections. It will be a non-blinded randomized controlled noninferiority trial in which the patients are randomly placed into 2 groups. The first group will receive a 3 day course of twice daily oral nitrofurantoin 100mg starting at the time of the procedure, and the second group will receive a single dose of 100mg oral nitrofurantoin at the time of the procedure. The patients will be screened at the clinic at the time that they schedule their intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injection appointment or by phone 1-2 weeks prior to their procedure. If the patient agrees to participate in the study then they will be instructed to give a urine sample for urinalysis and culture 1 week prior to the procedure appointment to exclude existing UTI. If a UTI is diagnosed at this time they must complete treatment prior to the procedure or will need to reschedule their procedure. On the day of the procedure patients will receive the clinic standard 10ml of 2% viscous lidocaine through the urethra 10-20 minutes prior to the procedure, and may be offered 5-10mg oral diazepam at the discretion of the treating physician. All patients will be given 200mg of phenazopyridine and 100mg of nitrofurantoin prior to the initiation of the procedure. The procedure will take place as directed by the treating physician per standard operating procedure. A urinalysis and urine culture will be placed for all study participants at time of their procedure appointment in case they have symptoms of UTI, and they will be instructed to follow up with the research team by phone if they have concerns for a UTI. Patients will be contacted 30-45 days after the procedure by phone, email, or message through genesis and asked about any UTI symptoms, UTI diagnoses and secondary outcomes during the 30 days following the procedure. Data will be analyzed for the primary outcome of UTI rates in the 30 days following intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injection.
The objective of the study is to demonstrate that the FemPulse System can be used as indicated in the Instructions for Use (IFU), as applicable.
For women undergoing percutaneous nerve evaluation (PNE) for the treatment of overactive bladder the first step is the PNE interstim therapy trial. If the PNE works, patients may opt to have the interstim procedure. The purpose of this study is to see if patients who remove their PNE lead at home have the same satisfaction with the PNE trial as those women who have their lead removed in the office.

Currently, in clinical practice there has been no standardization in the number of injections a single dose of intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxin A is administered in. Given the increasing use of this treatment modality, the aim of this study is to compare outcomes for patients given a 100 unit dose of onabotulinumtoxin A split into 5 as compared to 20 injections for the treatment of overactive bladder or urgency urinary incontinence refractory to medical treatment.
Bladder pain and urgency are common after bladder surgery. The objective is to determine if transdermal administration is superior to oral administration in alleviating pain and urgency.
The OASIS study is prospective, interventional, multi-center study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the BlueWind RENOVA iStim™ implantable tibial neuromodulation System for the treatment of patients diagnosed with overactive bladder.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of a supplement called MitoQ (mitoquinol mesylate) on bladder symptoms such as urgency and frequency in women 50 years and older who have the metabolic syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the study design feasible and acceptable to participants? * Do participants taking the study drug get any improvement to their bladder symptoms compared to participants taking a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug)? Participants will take 2 capsules of the study drug every morning for 4 months, answer many questions about their health including questions about their bladder health, perform physical and cognitive testing, give blood and urine samples, collect urine over 24 hour periods 3 times over the 4 months of the study, complete 3 day bladder diaries about how much they drink and void, undergo electrocardiograms, have their vitals and measurements (weight, height, waist circumference) taken, participate in 4 visits to the clinical research area and participate in many phone calls of varying length. Researchers will compare participants who were taking capsules containing MitoQ and participants taking capsules not containing MitoQ to see if MitoQ improves their bladder symptoms (urgency, frequency, nocturia, incontinence, etc.)
NXT Urodynamics System Post-Market Clinical Follow-up Clinical Investigation to Confirm Ongoing Safety and Performance in Urodynamic Patient Sub-Populations
Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of urgency incontinence (UUI) in 1998. One of two trial phase techniques are utilized prior to placement of the implantable pulse generator (IPG) to predict a patient's success with the device: a percutaneous nerve evaluation (PNE) or a stage implantation. Patients who experience a \> 50% improvement in UUI symptoms progress to permanent implantation. PNE offers significant advantages compared to a staged implantation including a single anesthetic and operating room trip. Historically, full implantation rates are only 40-50% following PNE versus 70-90% in women who undergo a staged approach. The lower rate of progression to full implantation after PNE may be attributed to lead migration. Newer data suggest up to 90% of PNE trials lead to full implantation. The investigators hypothesize that shortening PNE trial time to 3 days from 7 days will not result in a lower proportion of PNE trials leading to SNM implantation and may offer less time for lead migration. The investigators aim to perform a multi-center, randomized trial to determine if a 3-day PNE trial is not inferior to a 7-day PNE trial with respect to rates of progression to SNM implantation.
Neurogenic overactive bladder (NOAB), characterized by urinary frequency, urgency or urgency incontinence symptoms occurring during the storage phase of the bladder, is the most common urinary complaint in multiple sclerosis (MS). Current management options for NOAB in MS have limited efficacy and considerable adverse effects, which underscores the significance of this study and highlights the need for better, less invasive therapies. This novel study investigates brain therapeutic targets that could shift the focus of NOAB management in MS from a bladder-centric focus to brain restoration; specifically modulating the brain regions identified in the prior functional magnetic resonance imagining studies. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation that can modulate neurons (excite or inhibit) to improve the connectivity of the regions of interest (ROI). The preliminary data demonstrate, for the first time, significant improvement in bladder symptoms in ten women with MS who have voiding dysfunction following multifocal transcranial magnetic stimulation without any treatment-related adverse effects. This randomized double-blind, sham-controlled single center clinical trial with an optional open-label extension (OLE) phase is designed to evaluate the effects of targeted rTMS in women with MS and NOAB by investigating restorative reorganization of brain function The main purpose of this study is to determine the effects of individualized repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) for improving overactive bladder symptoms such as urinary frequency and urgency with or without incontinence in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Patients will undergo initial screening that includes a demographics information, physical exam, past medical and surgical history, medication list, urine pregnancy test (female subjects with childbearing potential), and completion of questionnaires to confirm the eligibility of patients. All eligible patients will be required to complete a functional MRI scan followed by locating the regions of interest through neural navigation system and finally receiving 10 treatment sessions. Since this is a randomized trial, some patients will receive active treatment/ therapy sessions while others will only receive sham or placebo treatments. The total duration to complete all treatment sessions and follow up visits is approximately 4-5 months.
The purpose of this study is to test a new ultrasound method called Quantitative Ultrasound Bladder Vibrometry to detect abnormal bladder function.
The TRIUMPH study is a randomized, double-blinded, 3-arm, parallel-group trial designed to compare the effects of anticholinergic bladder therapy versus a) beta-3-adrenergic agonist bladder therapy and b) no bladder pharmacotherapy on cognitive, urinary, and other aging-related functional outcomes in ambulatory older women with urgency-predominant urinary incontinence and either normal or mildly impaired cognitive function at baseline.
