21 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
To compare uroflowmetry measurements of patients undergoing urodynamic testing as part of an incontinence work-up in an urogynecology practice to healthy female volunteers.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if taking tamsulosin preoperatively decreases your chances of being discharged after surgery with a Foley catheter (flexible tube that drains urine from the bladder into a collection bag).
Limited data exist describing the use and role of vibrators in a urogynecology population and no randomized controlled trials investigating the use of vibrators as a therapeutic tool to enhance sexual and pelvic floor function in urogynecology patients has been conducted. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of vibrator use in improving sexual and pelvic floor function in urogynecology patients who report sexual dysfunction.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine if removal of transurethral urinary catheters by patients at home is as safe as catheter removal in the office following urogynecologic surgery. Participants will be randomized to either standard catheter removal in the office or catheter self-removal at home.
To evaluate how patient knowledge and confidence in decision making can be impacted by shared decision making in common urogynecology conditions.
This study will evaluate the clinical efficacy of a Transcutaneous Fractional Radiofrequency Device (TFRF) for the treatment of vaginal laxity (VL) and urogynecological symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to compare urinary tract infection rates among women undergoing urogynecological procedures with a silver-alloy suprapubic catheter compared to the standard suprapubic catheter.
The purpose of this study is to assess length of hospital stay and perioperative complications of patients undergoing daVinci Robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy, during a one-year time period, who did not complete a questionnaire on post-operative recovery.
The purpose of this study is to establish normal postoperative changes in blood pressure in women undergoing scheduled gynecologic surgery requiring inpatient postoperative care. Also, to establish if there is a difference in normal postoperative blood pressure changes between elderly and non-elderly women undergoing scheduled gynecologic surgery requiring inpatient postoperative care.
The purpose of the study is to describe the patient experience, including pain scores, use of pain medications, resumption of usual activities, and bowel function in the post-operative period following robotic urogynecologic surgery. Additionally, to describe peri-operative parameters of robot-assisted urogynecologic surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about active void trial pass rates in patients undergoing urogynecologic surgery. The main question it aims to answer is the comparison in pass rate during active void trial between women who are given 30 minutes versus 60 minutes to void following urogynecologic surgery. Patient will be randomized to two arms prior to scheduled surgery. During the active void trial, women will be allotted up to 30 minutes or up to 60 minutes to void depending on respective randomization.
The proposed VIDEO randomized trial will help inform clinical practice regarding the utility and perceived value of videoconferencing for postoperative care of urogynecologic patients by comparing patient satisfaction with virtual video visits and traditional in-office visits after pelvic organ prolapse and/or anti-incontinence surgery. Patient satisfaction will be measured by the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire-18 at the 6-week postoperative visit. The investigators hypothesize that patient satisfaction with the virtual postoperative visit will be non-inferior to an in-office visit. The study will secondarily investigate other important components of healthcare quality, including safety and clinical outcomes, by comparing postoperative healthcare resource utilization and adverse events within 12 weeks after urogynecologic surgery. Healthcare resource utilization as measured by patient-initiated phone calls, unscheduled in-person/virtual office visits, emergency room or urgent care visits, and inpatient readmissions within 6 weeks following surgery and within 12 weeks following surgery. The study also aims to evaluate patient and provider preferences/attitudes toward in-office versus virtual-video postoperative visits.
To determine whether a pre-operative educational video has an impact on the anxiety of patients undergoing vaginal prolapse surgery
Primary Aim: To determine whether silver-coated transurethral catheter decreases the incidence of culture-confirmed urinary tract infection for women with catheter-managed urinary retention after pelvic reconstructive surgery Secondary Aims: To assess difference in bacterial uropathogens isolated in urine cultures Adverse symptoms possibly caused by silver-coated catheter
Rigid cystoscopy is a common procedure to evaluate lower urinary tract symptoms in females. This procedure can be done with or without an instrument called a sheath obturator. Both techniques are used by surgeons and are considered safe, but have never been studied to see if one technique leads to less discomfort with the patient's first void after the procedure. The obturator's use may potentially reduce urethral irritation and bothersome postprocedural symptoms, primarily dysuria. The investigators aim to determine whether there is a difference in dysuria outcomes postoperatively when cystoscopy is performed with or without an obturator.
This is a randomized controlled trial to determine if there is a difference between chlorhexidine gluconate and povidone iodine vaginal preparations for urogynecological surgery post operative infections.
The primary objective is to assess the impact of patient positioning using the candy cane stirrups as compared to boot stirrups on physical functioning outcomes at 6 weeks post-op
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the patient satisfaction with voiding assessment remotely after removal of Foley catheter at home by the patient or her caregiver compared to removal at the office by a healthcare provider in patients who have been diagnosed to have voiding difficulty after pelvic reconstructive surgery.
The investigators will determine the efficacy of an innovative short regimen of methenamine hippurate on prevention of post-operative UTI in patients requiring short-term catheterization after pelvic reconstructive surgery through a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Primary outcome will be the rate of symptomatic UTI within 3 weeks of catheter removal. The investigators will study cost-effectiveness, antibiotic resistance profiles, and adverse drug effects. Findings may reduce antibiotic use and nosocomial UTIs.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of a standardized postoperative bowel regimen of over-the-counter medications in subjects undergoing minimally invasive urogynecologic surgery.
The goal of this study to determine normal values for certain urinary measurements in order to better understand voiding dysfunction in women.
