NCT07494864
Millions of patients of all ages suffer worldwide from diverse urinary pathologies, such as lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunction, bladder pain syndrome, urinary tract infections (UTIs), or bladder cancer. The research project investigates the interplay between the bladder and the microbiome. The goal is to evaluate the association of microbiological and immunological factors with lower urinary tract health in humans.
NCT06198439
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.

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.
NCT04873037
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.
NCT06094543
Overactive bladder (OAB) and urinary incontinence (UI) are chronic debilitating and embarrassing conditions that affect 33 million Americans. Yet, both are underdiagnosed and undertreated with significant financial and health-related consequences. OAB syndrome is characterized by urinary urgency, with and without urinary incontinence, urinary frequency, and nocturia. Evidence-based treatments are available, including behavioral therapy, pharmacotherapy, and minimally invasive procedures. Diagnosis and treatment are also associated with improvement in urinary symptoms and overall quality of life (QOL).3 However, 70-80% of treated patients will discontinue use of therapy in the first year due to one of several factors (e.g., cost, tolerability, inadequate effect). In addition, only 4.7% progress to advanced therapies suggesting undertreatment for those that need it most. Vulnerable populations are especially at risk, as therapy utilization are lowest among older, lower income, and/or minority groups. Poor access, insufficient patient education regarding disease chronicity, expected outcomes, costs, and potential side effects lead to unrealistic patient perceptions about therapy. This leads to suboptimal therapy duration, poor treatment efficacy, adherence, and undertreatment. The study aims to evaluate a tailored patient-centered tool to begin the treatment process.
NCT06212661
A prospective observational cohort trial to study the effects of CGRP inhibitors (CGRPi) on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and bladder/pelvic pain. Candidates for either CGRPi or an alternative therapy for refractory migraines (OnabotulinumtoxinA (BoNTA) extracranial muscle injections) with baseline LUTS will be recruited. The investigators will assess LUTS and pelvic pain using validated symptom and quality-of-life questionnaires, pretreatment and at 3 months post-treatment follow-up, comparing change in symptoms based on treatment received.
NCT07081412
To record the T-PTNS device (SmartUric) treatment performed by the patient at home via a mobile application in a remotely monitorable, secure and interactive manner with registration notes and a sham control group.
NCT06769854
The purpose of this study is to find out if overactive bladder (OAB) can be safely treated by stimulating a nerve near the ankle. This procedure is called percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS). It will be done by a device called the Urgent PC. The Urgent PC works by sending weak electrical signals through a thin needle to the nerve near the ankle. Stimulating this nerve may change bladder control.
NCT03535857
This study is designed to evaluate whether bilateral Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation is more effective than unilateral Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation at treating overactive bladder and urge urinary incontinence
NCT06616675
In this study the investigators compare the parasacral transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (PTENS) treatment with Darifenacin to improve OAB symptoms in patients infected with HTLV-1.
NCT05719285
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the outcomes of differing durations of antibiotic prophylaxis with bladder onabotulinumtoxinA injection in patients with refractory overactive bladder. The main question it aims to answer are: • Is the incidence of post-procedure UTI similar between single-dose and multi-day durations of peri-procedural antibiotics? Participants will be randomized to single-dose versus multi-day dose of antibiotic prophylaxis with bladder onabotulinumtoxinA injection. Researchers will compare incidence of UTI in each group to see if there is a significant difference.
NCT06123364
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about impact of extracorporeal electromagnetic stimulation in addition to medical treatment with mirabegron on the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB). The study will include female patients, aged between 30 and 80, with signs of OAB, including urinary frequency, urgency and urinary urgency incontinence. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the addition of extracorporeal electromagnetic stimulation to medical treatment with mirabegron influence the urinary urgency incontinent or frequency? * Does the addition of extracorporeal electromagnetic stimulation to medical treatment with mirabegron influence the urine flow or post-void residual volume? * Does the addition of extracorporeal electromagnetic stimulation to medical treatment with mirabegron influence the patients' quality of life. Participants will: * receive 50 mg of mirabegron daily in the form of tablets, which is used to treat OAB according to current treatment guidelines. * Twice a week receive extracorporeal electromagnetic stimulation in the duration of 20 minutes. The patients will be divided into 2 groups, namely one group will receive actual electromagnetic stimulation, and the other group will receive placebo stimulation. * Have a urogynecological examination, with ultrasound measurements of the remaining urine in the bladder and determination of the thickness of the bladder wall, as well as a uroflow examination, after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. * Have to to submit urine for laboratory tests and to fill out questionnaires regarding participants' symptoms, after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. Researchers will compare both study groups to see if the addition of extracorporeal electromagnetic stimulation has influence on the research questions stated above.
NCT04300400
Idiopathic overactive bladder syndrome (iOAB) is a prevalent condition in urological practice. The variability in management between specialists and between centers remains high. Even guidelines are not always clear on the treatment management of drug therapy resistant OAB. Standardization in OAB treatment is needed.
NCT05151081
Purpose: A lot of etiological factors related to overactive bladder (OAB) has been investigated. However, the role of primary nocturnal enuresis (NE), which is characterized with childhood night time incontinence, in the etiology of OAB is controversial. This study aims to evaluate the effect of NE in patients diagnosed with OAB. Metod Between january-september 2021, the data of patients who applied to the urology outpatientclinic with OAB symptoms were collected. Patients with a history of chronic systemic disease, previous medical treatment for OAB and who did not accept to join the study were excluded. According to the diagnosis of childhood NE, patients were divided into two groups. Demographic data hav been recorded. Frequency of incontinence, number of day time void and nocturia were evaluated according to a 3 day voiding diary. Inaddition, max. Urinary flowr atio (Qmax), bladder Wall thickness and postvoid residual volüme rates were determined using uroflowmetry and pelvic ultrasound.
NCT05094414
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a collective term referring to disorders which is characterized by lower urinary tract symptoms, including bladder pain/discomfort, frequent urination without evidence of bacterial infection. The etiology of IC/BPS is still uncertain, and most current treatment for IC/BPS are only symptoms control. Our previous study revealed Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection presented in the IC/BPS bladders and involved the pathogenesis. Hence, using anti-viral medication valacyclovir for the patients with IC/BPS might have clinical efficacy.
NCT05069376
This is a prospective randomized clinical trial, evaluating the effect of the intra-ureteral placement of the stent's distal end versus the conventional stent placement on the postoperative LUTS and pain.
NCT04693897
About one to two million women in Taiwan suffers from overactive bladder (OAB). The most commonly used anti-muscarinic drugs have a high rate of side effects. While beta-3 adrenoceptor agonist, Mirabegron, has far fewer side effects, there are no consensus on whether it can be used as first-line treatment. The investigator's preliminary study showed that the concentration of beta-3 adrenoceptor in the urine of OAB patients is higher than that in the normal control group, so comparing urinary beta-3 adrenoceptor concentration of OAB patients before and after treatment may be used as a biomarker of therapeutic effectiveness. The results of this study will be of great help in understanding the effectiveness of Mirabegron and formulating OAB treatment plans.
NCT03758235
The aim of the original study was to compare Incobot/A versus Onabot/A in order to evaluate if the differences in the pharmacologic formulations between the two drugs could affect their efficacy and safety in the treatment of neurogenic overactive bladder (OAB). In the original study protocol two different dosages for either Incobot/A and Onabot/A (200 U and 100 U) were considered, to treat patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity incontinence performing intermittent catheterization (IC) with higher dosages and those able to void spontaneously with lower dosage, with the resulting four treatment groups. For such a study, a very large sample of participants should have been treated and followed up, to have adequate power to demonstrate the hypothesis. At the end of last February 2020, we had to temporarily stop all the clinical activities related to the study and patients' recruitment, due to the occurrence of Sars-Cov-2 pandemic in our Country. At that point, a non-inferiority study seemed to be possible and adequate, and we adapted the protocol accordingly. In addition, on the basis of previously published information, we could hypothesize that the new drug (Incobot/A) would have had at least a roughly similar effect to the control drug (Onabot/A). In order to perform a non-inferiority study, the power and sample size analysis have been re-planned. Thus, we perform a not planned interim analysis to show the preliminary results of an ongoing, non-inferiority trial in which patients' recruitment temporarily stopped due to incontrollable external factors. The present study will be aimed to assess the non-inferiority of Incobot/A compared to Onabot/A on the efficacy and safety parameters, in the treatment of patients with refractory NDOI performing IC, who are randomized to receive 200 U of Incobot/A or Onabot/A intradetrusor injections and who are followed up to 12 wks after treatment
NCT03755089
OnabotulinumtoxinA (Botox®) bladder injections are a highly effective treatment for overactive bladder and urgency urinary incontinence. The procedure is typically performed in the office setting with one of two medications to control comfort. However, the effectiveness of these medications has never been compared. The goal of this study is to determine which medication is better at providing comfort during bladder Botox® injections.
NCT03486639
Urodynamic examination evaluates storage and empting phases of the urinary bladder. It enables the clinician to correlate physiologic findings to patients' complains. The data gathered during the examination divided to storage and empting. During the storage phase, bladder sensation is measured while the bladder is filled with sterile water. During years of practice, we noticed that early sensation (bladder over-sensitivity) is occasionally associated with bladder outlet obstruction (as demonstrated in the emptying phase of the examination.
