Surface Electrical Stimulation for Urinary Incontinence in Men Treated for Prostate Cancer

Background: Men who are treated for prostate cancer often develop urinary leakage (incontinence). An experimental device that uses electrical impulses to stimulate pelvic floor muscles and surrounding tissues may help. Objective: To see if the Elidah device can reduce urinary incontinence after prostate treatment. Eligibility: Men aged 18 years and older who have had moderate urinary incontinence for at least 6 months after treatment for prostate cancer. Design: Participants will be in the study for about 9 weeks. They will be screened. They will have a physical exam with urine tests. The Elidah device consists of a Controller and a GelPad. The Controller sets the strength of electrical impulses. The GelPad is placed against the skin under the pelvis. Participants will be given an Elidah device and taught how to use it at home. They will use the device once a day for 20 minutes at a time; they will do this 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Participants will complete a daily log. They will record the strength of electrical impulses (0-35); the number of incontinence episodes; the type of incontinence episode; and the number of used pads. Participants will do a pad weight test. For 3 days before and 3 days after using the Elidah device, they will collect all of their used pads for each 24-hour period into a sealed plastic bag. They will also collect a second set of bags that contain dry versions of each product used. Participants will have clinic visits after using the device for 3 weeks and after finishing the 6 weeks of treatment. Participants will complete 15-minute questionnaires.

FREEDOM Registry - Follow up Revision Experience and Evaluation of Device Outcomes Metrics

Single-arm study where subjects' responses to a questionnaire for the traditional Sacral Neuromodulation (SNM) devices will be compared to the responses regarding the Neuspera SNM System.

Study of 30-Minute Stimulation With the Neuspera Sacral Neuromodulation (SNM) System

Single-arm study conducted in participants for the treatment of urinary urge incontinence in patients who have failed, could not tolerate, or were not a candidate for more conservative treatments. The objective of the study is to assess the effectiveness of 30-minutes daily therapeutic stimulation with the Neuspera System.

A Real World Study of eCoin for Urgency Urinary Incontinence: Post Approval Evaluation (RECIPE)

A prospective, multicenter, single-arm study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the eCoin® implanted tibial nerve stimulator in subjects with urgency urinary incontinence (UUI).

RESTORE: An RCT to Evaluate the Efficacy of the Revi System

The Revi System is indicated for the treatment of patients with symptoms of urgency incontinence alone or in combination with urinary urgency.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Versus Botulinum Toxin for Refractory Overactive Bladder: A Randomized Trial

Overactive bladder is a common condition that causes sudden urges to urinate, frequent urination, night-time urination, and sometimes leakage of urine. Many people with overactive bladder improve with lifestyle changes and medicines. However, some patients do not respond to these standard treatments and continue to suffer from bothersome symptoms. This study is designed to help patients who have not improved with available medical therapy. Two treatments will be compared in this research. The first treatment uses platelet-rich plasma. Platelet-rich plasma is made from a patient's own blood and contains growth factors that may help repair the lining of the bladder and improve bladder function. The second treatment uses botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin is a protein that can reduce unwanted bladder contractions and is already approved for use in patients with overactive bladder who did not respond to other treatments. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether platelet-rich plasma injection into the bladder wall is safe, effective, and durable when compared with botulinum toxin injection into the bladder muscle. We believe that platelet-rich plasma may improve bladder health by encouraging tissue repair and reducing inflammation, while botulinum toxin may reduce bladder overactivity by blocking chemical signals that cause muscle contractions. This study will take place at Benha University Hospital in Egypt. About 48 adult participants with overactive bladder that has not improved after at least six months of medical therapy will be enrolled. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive platelet-rich plasma injections into the bladder lining, and the other group will receive botulinum toxin injections into the bladder muscle. The procedures will be performed under anesthesia using a cystoscope, which is a thin instrument inserted into the bladder. Participants will be followed for one year. At several time points during follow-up, they will complete bladder symptom questionnaires, keep a voiding diary, and undergo urodynamic studies to measure bladder capacity and function. Researchers will also monitor safety by recording any side effects, such as urinary tract infections or temporary difficulty emptying the bladder. The main goal of this study is to determine whether platelet-rich plasma can reduce symptoms of overactive bladder as effectively as botulinum toxin, with fewer side effects and longer-lasting results. If successful, platelet-rich plasma could offer a new treatment option for patients who continue to struggle with overactive bladder despite standard medical therapy.

Real-World Registry - The Vivally® System

This is a Real-World Registry Study to collect real-world dosing, utilization, demographic, quality of life, and data from the e-bladder diaries of patients utilizing the Vivally® System. Data points will be drawn from the Avation Medical HIPAA-compliant cloud database including but not limited to: Therapy compliance and stimulation metrics Diary entries provided by patients Various questionnaires Participants have the option to opt out of allowing their data to be part of any publication at any time.

Post-procedural Pain Associated With 5 Versus 20 Intravesical Injections of Onabotulinumtoxin A

Currently, in clinical practice there has been no standardization in the number of injections a single dose of intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxin A is administered in. Given the increasing use of this treatment modality, the aim of this study is to compare outcomes for patients given a 100 unit dose of onabotulinumtoxin A split into 5 as compared to 20 injections for the treatment of overactive bladder or urgency urinary incontinence refractory to medical treatment.
