12 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
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 null hypothesis for this study is that the combination of solifenacin and Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) is not different from PTNS alone. However the investigators anticipate a 20% improvement in patients receiving combination therapy as measured by the OAB-q (Overactive Bladder questionnaire) scores.
The purpose of this randomized, open-label, active-control trial is to compare the effectiveness of intra-detrusor botulinum toxin A (Botox A®, Allergan) versus sacral neuromodulation (InterStim®, Medtronic) for the treatment of refractory urge urinary incontinence. In addition, the study will evaluate select technical attributes of the interventions as well as the effect of these two interventions on other lower urinary tract and pelvic floor symptoms. Hypothesis: InterStim® therapy will result in a greater reduction in daily urge urinary incontinence episodes over the 6-month follow-up period as compared to Botox A® injection. A supplemental study investigates whether biological markers including those related to inflammation and connective tissue remodeling change following treatments with Botox A® and Interstim®.
This study is a retrospective chart review including all patients who received surgical placement of a SNM device with Dr. Noblett from 2001 to the present.
This prospective study compares quality of life measures of patients with refractory overactive bladder, between two modes of neuromodulation: vaginal electrical stimulation (Group A) and sacral nerve stimulation (Group B). The specific aims are: 1. To characterize patient symptom bother score, quality of life, and body image scores in patients obtaining sacral nerve stimulation, as compared to vaginal electrical stimulation. - Hypothesis 1: Both modes of neuromodulation will impact patients' scores in quality of life, patient symptoms, and body image questionnaires.
This study will investigate the safety and efficacy of Sanctura XR (trospium chloride) daily in reducing urgency, urinary frequency and urinary urge incontinence in female patients with incontinence refractory to Detrol LA (tolterodine tartrate extended release) 4 mg therapy.
Abstract Introduction: Urgency Urinary Incontinence (UUI) is a common condition with a prevalence of 9-31% in women in the United States. Despite current treatments, a high number of women have symptoms refractory to first- and second-line treatment approaches. Aims: The primary aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the efficacy of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) and mirabegron treatment versus PTNS with placebo on change in the number of UUI episodes over a 12-week treatment course. Secondary aims include comparing the efficacy of combined treatment of PTNS and mirabegron versus PTNS with placebo on improvement in urinary incontinence symptom specific distress and quality of life related to UUI over a 12-week course of PTNS. Methods: A total of 54 consented participants will be recruited and randomized with 27 patients in the PTNS with mirabegron (daily 50 mg dose for the 12-week course) group and 27 patients in the PTNS with placebo group. Demographics and baseline data will be analyzed by student's t-test and chi-squared test or Fischer's Exact test as appropriate. Hypothesis: We anticipate that combination therapy will prove superior to monotherapy for reducing the number of UUI episodes over a 12-week treatment course.
This is a prospective cohort study of women with overactive bladder OAB (dry or wet) who have failed 2 prior treatments, including behavioral modification, pelvic floor physical therapy, and/or OAB medication (anticholinergics or mirabegron), and have chosen either OnabotulinumtoxinA (BTX) injection or percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) as their next treatment. OAB-dry refers to patients with OAB who do not have urge urinary incontinence; OAB-wet refers to patients with OAB and urge urinary incontinence. Eligible patients will be approached for study participation after they have decided to proceed with BTX or PTNS.
The current study will investigate the comparative efficacy, safety and patient satisfaction of intradetrusor injections BOTOX® injections (200U) versus placebo (saline) injections in the treatment of OAB secondary to benign prostatic obstruction (BPO).
The goal of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a new implanted device designed to treat Urinary Urgency-Frequency Syndrome.
BAY1817080 is currently under clinical development to treat pain related to unexplained chronic cough or chronic cough not affected by a treatment (refractory and/or unexplained chronic cough, RUCC), or a condition where the bladder is unable to hold urine normally (overactive bladder, OAB) or a condition in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of the womb grows outside the womb (endometriosis). Especially in elderly patients with OAB or RUCC, renal impairment is frequent. Renal impairment which co-occurs in especially in elderly patients with OAB or RUCC is a common condition in which the kidneys are not filtering the blood as well as they should. End stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis is a condition in which patients kidneys are no longer able to work as they should and require treatment to filter wastes from the blood. The goal of the study is to learn more about the safety of BAY1817080, how it is tolerated and the way the body absorbs, distributes and excretes the study drug given in men and women with moderate renal impairment and with those who have end stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis compared with matched participants with normal kidney function.
BAY1817080 is currently under clinical development to treat pain related to unexplained chronic cough or chronic cough not affected by a treatment (refractory and/or unexplained chronic cough, RUCC), or a condition where the bladder is unable to hold urine normally (overactive bladder, OAB) or a condition in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of the womb grows outside the womb (endometriosis). In this study researchers want to learn more about the safety of BAY1817080, how it is tolerated and the way the body absorbs, distributes and gets rid of the study dug given as tablet in participants with mild, moderate or severe hepatic impairment and participants with normal liver function matched for age-, gender-, weight and race. The study will enroll 36 male and female participants in the age between 18 and 79 years. Participants with mild or moderate hepatic impairment and the matching participants will take multiple oral doses of study drug depending on the study plan. Participants with severe hepatic impairment and the matching participants will take a single oral dose of study drug during the study. Data from this study will provide researcher important information for further development of the study drug in particular on dose recommendation for patients with hepatic impairment.
