NCT07526675
This prospective study aims to validate the clinical outcomes of performing a concomitant trans-perineal prostate biopsy and laser ablation (termed "Bioblation") during a single session. The intervention is designed for symptomatic patients presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) who are highly suspected to have low to favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer. By combining diagnosis and targeted treatment under local anesthesia, this approach seeks to facilitate early relief of severe symptoms and a rapid return to daily activities. Ultimately, the study evaluates whether this combined procedure decreases the patient's exposure to multiple, temporally separated interventions without compromising oncological safety or efficacy.
NCT06798311
The study is designed to address the disparity in available conservative/behavioral treatments for UI/LUTS. The program was developed by experts from urogynecology, psychology, and physical therapy then modified based on focus group feedback from racially minoritized women. The study team created a patient-centered, culturally adapted, self-directed, 8-week, home-based module for women with LUTS/UI. The SUPPORT program combines multiple evidence-based conservative treatments for LUTS/UI including cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral modifications, and home physical therapy exercise. Progression through the home-based program is supported by research staff. This prospective interventional study aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the SUPPORT program and its impact on patient-centered treatment outcomes, while enabling comparisons across race and ethnicity. This approach will provide a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively deliver self-management strategies for pelvic floor disorders. At the start of the 8 week SUPPORT course participants will also be given access to a custom programmed GPT trained on the SUPPORT workbook and given instructions on empathetic communication techniques and assisting patients in performing the SUPPORT exercises as outlined in the program. At the end of 8 weeks patients will fill out a survey assessing the frequency of use and interactions with the LLM.
NCT07451548
This study aims to see if listening to recorded running water sounds during a bladder function test (urodynamic study) helps patients feel calmer and makes it easier for them to empty their bladder during the test. Bladder tests can cause anxiety or discomfort, which sometimes affects results. Playing running water sounds may help patients relax and improve their experience, based on earlier research. Participants will be randomly placed into one of two groups. One group will listens to running water sounds during the test while the other group will have the test done in the usual way without additional auditory intervention. Participants rate their anxiety before, during, and after the test using simple scales. Parameters of the test will be recorded for analysis.
NCT07447518
In urology, ureteral stents are used to treat obstructive diseases. Hematuria (54%), fever, discomfort, and lower urinary system symptoms are the predominant symptoms related to ureteral stent.
NCT04557748
The purpose of this study is to define and characterize important subtypes of patients with urinary urgency to improve our understanding of the pathophysiology, risk factors, experiences, and comorbidities to lay the foundation for more effective treatment by focusing on the most bothersome and difficult to treat symptoms of urinary urgency and urgency urinary incontinence.
NCT04114266
Prospective collection of pre-defined parameters of AUS Surgery for Female Stress Urinary Incontinence due to Intrinsic Sphincter Deficiency
NCT07306767
This prospective cohort study evaluated whether transabdominal ultrasound measurement of intravesical prostatic protrusion predicts symptom severity and response to medical therapy in men aged 50 years or older with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia. At baseline, participants underwent clinical evaluation, laboratory assessment including prostate-specific antigen, symptom scoring using the International Prostate Symptom Score and quality of life index, uroflowmetry, and transabdominal ultrasonography to measure prostate volume, bladder parameters, post-void residual urine, detrusor wall thickness, and intravesical prostatic protrusion. Participants were grouped by intravesical prostatic protrusion grade (less than 5 millimetres, 5 to 10 millimetres, and greater than 10 millimetres) and were followed for six months with reassessments at three and six months to evaluate response to medical therapy and identify patients who required escalation of treatment or surgical intervention.
NCT06136819
RT-310, a novel implant, is intended to minimally invasive treat locally the prostate gland for the management of prostate disease, while minimizing side-effects. The objectives of the study are to assess whether RT-310 is safe and feasible for the participant population.
NCT07175805
The purpose of this study is to compare change in pelvic floor symptoms between patients receiving medical therapy for weight loss and surgical treatment for weight loss. Examples of pelvic floor symptoms include urinary incontinence, urinary urgency, urinary frequency, fecal incontinence, and vaginal prolapse. Participants in this study do not need to have any pelvic floor symptoms to enroll in the study. Understanding how different types of weight loss treatment impact pelvic floor symptoms will help clinicians guide which weight loss treatments are recommended for patients with pelvic floor symptoms in the future.
NCT05739071
To identify the effects of JING SI HERBAL TEA in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms after intravesical therapy in patients with bladder cancer.
NCT06728540
Lower urinary tract dysfunctions (LUTD) are disorders that can occur in the storage and voiding stages of bladder function other than neurological disease or lower urinary tract obstruction. Storage symptoms are increased or decreased voiding frequency, urinary incontinence, urgency and nocturia, while voiding symptoms are classified as hesitation, straining, weak stream and intermittent voiding. Other symptoms are holding maneuvers, feeling of incomplete voiding, post-voiding dripping, genital and lower urinary tract pain. Epidemiological studies show that the prevalence of LUTD is high in school-aged children, with rates as high as 22%. Very little is known about pelvic floor muscle training in children. Relaxation in the pelvic floor muscles is very important for the continuity of micturition and defecation functions. Respiratory function is one of the key elements in the relaxation of the pelvic floor. The relationship of the pelvic floor muscles with the diaphragm and their role in intra-abdominal pressure regulation have been demonstrated by many studies. In the adult population, it has been emphasized that the respiratory pattern should be corrected in pelvic floor dysfunctions and pelvic floor muscle training should be provided in those with respiratory problems. In the literature, rehabilitation programs for children with LUTD are treatment approaches in which respiratory and pelvic floor muscle training are applied together, but it has not been clearly stated which isolated approach is responsible for the resulting effect. In addition, these studies have emphasized that diaphragmatic exercises reduce or improve symptoms through the relaxation mechanism they create in the abdominal wall. However, unlike the literature, one of the aims of this study is to reveal the relationship between inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength and LUTD.
NCT07146386
This is a randomized, double-blind, controlled, non-inferiority multicenter Phase III clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of H077 sustained-release tablets versus silodosin capsules in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.
NCT03802851
To determine if holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and/or urinary retention alters the treatment course for patients concurrently diagnosed with prostate cancer.
NCT04627701
The ProArc Medical Omega system is a prostatic reshaping device that is designed to treat Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) due to BPH. During the procedure an implant is delivered into the prostate tissue obstructing the urethra and restricting urine flow. The delivery system uses a static diathermy incision mechanism to make a circumferential incision in the tissue surrounding the prostatic urethra into which the Omega shaped permanent implant is placed. The implant expands the obstructed area, reducing the fluid obstruction through the prostatic urethra.
NCT05365971
The RISE FOR HEALTH study (RISE) is an initiative of the Prevention of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (PLUS) Research Consortium, which was formed by the NIDDK in 2015 to develop the science to improve bladder health in women and girls. RISE is designed to identify risk and protective factors for bladder health and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and to estimate the distributions of bladder health and bladder health knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs in women of all ages across the life course. This will be accomplished by conducting a population-based prospective cohort study. A sample of individuals who live within the study base, i.e., the county containing each PLUS clinical research center and each adjacent county, will be invited to complete two baseline surveys and then two follow-up surveys one year later. A subset of participants will be invited to attend an in-person evaluation to collect additional clinical information and biologic specimens.
NCT06236802
The purpose of the ProVIDE II Bridging Study is to evaluate the performance of the Generation II delivery system when deploying the ProVee expander in subjects with symptomatic urinary obstruction secondary to BPH.
NCT06983444
The aim of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of transurethral resection of the prostate and bipolar enucleation of the prostate.
NCT03520673
The PriMUS Study aims to develop a clinical decision support tool to help GPs more accurately diagnose and manage LUTS in men. The study will recruit 880 men across three research hubs in Bristol, Newcastle and Wales. Men will all receive a series of simple index tests in primary care (following NICE Clinical Guidelines) and a urodynamics reference test. The study will then compare which combination of the simple index tests give the best prediction of the urodynamics result, which can then be incorporated into the clinical decision support tool.
NCT06225479
This is a single-center pilot randomized controlled trial among 68 physically "inactive" older men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) attributed to benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH) assessing a 12-week remote exercise intervention versus health education control.
