6 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The primary aim of this study is to assess the utility of prophylactic oral antibiotics at time of Bulkamid transurethral bulking to reduce the incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) in the immediate postoperative period. The secondary aims of the study include assessing UTI rates and success rates if patients require temporary indwelling catheter versus intermittent self-catheterization (ISC).
This will be a double-blind randomized control trial in women with stress urinary incontinence who are undergoing an outpatient transurethral bulking procedure for stress urinary incontinence. Subjects will be identified by the University of Rochester urologists and urogynecologists participating in the study who currently oversee stress incontinence care. Subjects will be randomized into two groups. One group will be undergoing the cystoscopy with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for analgesia, and the second group will have the cystoscopy with placebo TENS.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if prophylactic antibiotics in urethral bulking are effective in reducing postprocedural urinary tract infections.
The aim is to compare outcomes of two different procedures to prevent occult stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in patients who are having pelvic organ prolapse surgeries
This study is designed to determine primarily if there is a difference in perceived pain in patients receiving urethral bulking with calcium hydroxylapatite using local lidocaine versus local lidocaine plus nitrous oxide gas. Patients will be randomized to a control group (local lidocaine plus room air) or a intervention group (local lidocaine plus 50% nitrous oxide/50% oxygen inhaled mixture). Their pain will be assessed immediately after the procedure, and their recollection of pain will also be assessed at their 2 week post-procedure visit. There are other secondary outcome measures as well; please see outcome measures section for full description.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if retropubic midurethral sling (RP-MUS) or bulkamide injection (PAHG) at the time of pelvic organ prolapse repair is better from the patient's perspective. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the average difference in the urogenital distress inventory (UDI) long form score 24 months after surgery for each procedure? Which procedure has the fewest complications and lowest short- and long-term morbidity profile? Participants will: Be blinded and randomized to one of two procedures for the duration of the study, 24 months. Complete 6 total visits for the clinical trial including validated questionnaires. Few participants will be selected to complete a qualitative interview at 3 timepoints over 24 month duration of the study.
