Project description:BackgroundIntradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injection is an effective advanced treatment for overactive bladder. While the effective dosages have been well studied, very little data exist on treatment efficacy using differing injection techniques. The objective of this study was to determine whether the efficacy of a reduced injection technique of 5 injection sites was noninferior to the standard technique of 20 injection sites of intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA for treatment of overactive bladder.MethodsIn this randomized noninferiority trial, men and women seeking treatment of overactive bladder with intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injections were randomized to receive 100 units administered via either a reduced injection technique of 5 injection sites or a standard injection technique of 20 injection sites. Subjects completed a series of standardized questionnaires at baseline and at 4-12 weeks postprocedure to determine symptom severity and treatment efficacy. The primary outcome was treatment efficacy as determined by Overactive Bladder Questionnaire-Short Form with a noninferiority margin of 15 points. Secondary outcomes were incidence of urinary tract infection and urinary retention requiring catheterization.ResultsData from 77 subjects were available for analysis with 39 in the control arm (20 injections) and 38 in the study arm (5 injections). There was a significant improvement in both arms from baseline to follow-up in Overactive Bladder Questionnaire-Short Form and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire scores (p < 0.001). Overall treatment success was 68% with no statistically significant difference between arms. A significant difference between arms was found on the Overactive Bladder Questionnaire-Short Form quality of life survey favoring the control arm (confidence interval [CI]: 0.36-20.5, p = 0.04). However, there were no significant differences between arms in the remaining validated questionnaires. The study arm did not demonstrate noninferiority to the control arm. Subjects in the study arm were significantly more likely to express a willingness to undergo the procedure again (odds ratio = 3.8, 95% CI: 1.42-10.67, p = 0.004). Adverse events did not differ between arms.ConclusionsA reduced injection technique for administration of intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA demonstrates similar efficacy to the standard injection technique but did not demonstrate noninferiority. Subjects preferred the reduced injection technique over the standard technique. A reduced injection technique is a safe and effective alternative to the standard technique.

Project description:To investigate the risks of overactive bladder (OAB) and bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC) in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) patients. A nationwide, population-based cohort study was conducted using data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. From 2001 to 2010, participants with newly diagnosed pSS were recognized as the study group. In addition, a comparison cohort of non-pSS participants was matched for age, gender, and initial diagnosis date. Risks of developing OAB and BPS/IC in pSS patients of different age, sex, and various therapeutic strategies were calculated. Hazard ratios (HR) and a 95% confidence interval (CI) were analyzed by Cox proportional hazard model. In total, 11,526 pSS patients were recognized. The HRs of OAB and BPS/IC in pSS patients were 1.68 (95% C.I.: 1.48-1.91, p<0.01) and 2.34 (95% C.I.: 1.59-3.44, p<0.01), respectively. The risks of OAB and BPS/IC were significantly increased for pSS patients aged < 65 years (HR: 1.73 and 2.67), female patients (HR: 1.74 and 2.34), and patients requiring treatment for dry eyes and dry mouth (HR: 2.06 and 2.93). pSS patients exhibited an increased risk of OAB and BPS/IC. Female gender, younger age, and severe glandular dysfunction requiring treatments were potential risk factors.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:(1) To compare the severity and distribution of nonurologic and urogenital pain between overactive bladder (OAB), interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) and controls, and (2) To examine the relationships between the severity of urogenital pain and severity of urinary symptoms among patients with OAB. SUBJECTS AND METHODS:Fifty-one OAB patients, 27 IC/BPS patients, and 30 controls were recruited. Nonurologic pain was assessed using a whole body map and Brief Pain Inventory. Urologic pain was assessed using the Interstitial Cystitis Symptom and Problem indexes, Genitourinary Pain Index, and 0-10 pain scale. Urogenital pain was assessed using a genital map, and report of pain related to bladder filling and urination. RESULTS:Among OAB patients, 6% reported pelvic pain only while 28% reported pelvic pain and beyond. 18% reported widespread pain. The distribution of nonurologic pain and urogenital pain in OAB patients were intermediate between IC/BPS and controls (IC/BPS>OAB>controls, P all <.05). The intensity of pain reported by OAB patients was intermediate between controls and IC/BPS (average 2.3 vs 0.8 vs 4.3 out of 10, P <.001). Among OAB patients, the pain severity (GUPI-pain, ICSI-pain, ICPI-pain) was positively correlated with urinary severity (UDI-6, IIQ-7, OABq-SS, OABq-QOL, P all < .05). OAB patients with pelvic pain have worse urinary symptoms and psychosocial health (anxiety, depression) compared to OAB patients without pelvic pain. CONCLUSION:A subset of OAB patients has pain inside and/or outside the pelvis. The intensity and distribution of pain in OAB was intermediate between IC/BPS and controls. Systemic processes such as central sensitization should be examined in this population.

Project description:PURPOSE:To identify factors predicting the presence of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB)-wet, compared with OAB-dry. METHODS:Between September 2007 and September 2013, the medical records of 623 women with OAB who completed a 3-day bladder diary and underwent urodynamic studies in a medical center were retrospectively reviewed. OAB-wet was diagnosed in patients who complained of at least one episode of urgency incontinence in the previous month; otherwise, OAB-dry was diagnosed. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to predict the presence of OAB-wet. RESULTS:Age (odds ratio [OR], 1.05; P<0.001), maximal flow rate (Qmax) (OR,1.06; P<0.001), voided volume (OR, 0.996; P=0.001), detrusor pressure at maximal flow rate (PdetQmax) (OR, 1.02; P=0.003), urgency episodes (OR, 1.04; P<0.001) and urodynamic stress incontinence (OR,1.78; P=0.01) were independent predictors for the presence of OAB-wet vs. OAB-dry. If we use bladder contractility index as a variable for multivariable logistic regression analysis, bladder contractility index (OR, 1.012; P<0.001) become an independent predictor for OAB-wet. CONCLUSION:A smaller bladder capacity and more frequent urgency episodes were predictors of OAB-wet, and the above findings indicate that OAB-wet and OAB-dry might be a continuum of OAB. Old age, high Qmax, high PdetQmax and urodynamic stress incontinence were also predictors for OAB-wet, and the above results reveal that OAB-wet and OAB-dry have partially different clinical and urodynamic features. Further studies might be performed to elucidate whether different treatment strategies between OAB-dry and OAB-wet can improve treatment efficacy.

Project description:BACKGROUND The role of intravesical botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injections in bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC) has not been clearly defined. The aim of this study was to evaluate high-level evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of BTX-A injections for BPS/IC. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, and conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of all available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled studies assessing BTX-A injections for BPS/IC. RESULTS Seven RCTs and 1 retrospective study were identified based on the selection criteria. Pooled analyses showed that although BTX-A was associated with a slightly larger volume of post-void residual urine (PVR) (weighted mean difference [WMD] 10.94 mL; 95% confidence intervals [CI] 3.32 to 18.56; p=0.005), patients in this group might benefit from greater reduction in pelvic pain (WMD -1.73; 95% CI -3.16 to -0.29; p=0.02), Interstitial Cystitis Problem Index (ICPI) scores (WMD -1.25; 95% CI -2.20 to -0.30; p=0.01), and Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Index (ICSI) scores (WMD -1.16; 95% CI -2.22 to -0.11; p=0.03), and significant improvement in daytime frequency of urination (WMD -2.36; 95% CI -4.23 to -0.49; p=0.01) and maximum cystometric capacity (MCC) (WMD 50.49 mL; 95% CI 25.27 to 75.71; p<0.00001). Nocturia, maximal urinary flow rate, dysuria, and urinary tract infection did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS Intravesical BTX-A injections might offer significant improvement in bladder pain symptoms, daytime urination frequency, and MCC for patients with refractory BPS/IC, with a slightly larger PVR. Further well-designed, large-scale RCTs are required to confirm the findings of this analysis.

Project description:OnabotulinumtoxinA injection is a safe and effective treatment for adults with refractory overactive bladder. There is sufficient level 1 evidence to support offering onabotulinumtoxinA injections as a second-line treatment to patients who have failed behavioral therapy and oral medications such as antimuscarinics and β3 agonists. An intradetrusor injection of 100 U of onabotulinumtoxinA is likely the optimal dose to balance risks and benefits, and this is the dose approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Improvement in urgency urinary incontinence episodes, as well as symptom scores and quality of life, were seen in around 60%-65% of patients, and were significantly improved compared with those on placebo. Most studies have reported a duration of symptom relief ranging from 6 to 12 months, with repeat injections being safe and efficacious. Overall, the risk of urinary retention was around 6% across the study populations.

Project description:BackgroundNocturnal bladder symptoms and sleep disruption commonly coexist in middle-aged and older women. Although sleep disruption is often attributed to nocturnal bladder symptoms in women with overactive bladder syndrome, nonbladder factors also may influence sleep in this population. Many women with overactive bladder are eager to identify nonpharmacologic strategies for both bladder symptoms and sleep disruption, given the potential adverse effects of sedative and anticholinergic bladder medications in this population.ObjectivesTo provide greater insight into the complex relationship between nighttime overactive bladder symptoms and sleep disruption, and to evaluate the effects of a guided slow-paced respiration intervention on sleep outcomes in women with overactive bladder.Study designWe conducted an ancillary study within a randomized trial of slow-paced respiration in women with overactive bladder symptoms. Ambulatory community-dwelling women who reported ≥3 episodes/day of urgency-associated voiding or incontinence were randomized to use either a portable biofeedback device (RESPeRATE; Intercure, Ltd) to practice guided slow-paced respiration exercises daily for 12 weeks (N=79) or an identical-appearing device programmed to play nonrhythmic music without guiding breathing (N=82). At baseline and after 12 weeks, bladder symptoms were assessed by voiding diary, sleep duration, and disruption were assessed by sleep diary corroborated by wrist actigraphy, and poor sleep quality was determined by a Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index global score >5.ResultsOf the 161 women randomized, 31% reported at least twice-nightly nocturia, 26% nocturnal incontinence, and 70% poor sleep quality at baseline. Of the 123 reporting any nighttime awakenings, 89% averaged 1 or more nighttime awakenings, and 83% attributed at least half of awakenings to using the bathroom. Self-reported wake time after sleep onset increased with increasing frequency of nocturnal bladder symptoms (P=.01 for linear trend). However, even among women without nocturia, average sleep quality was poor (Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index global score mean of 7.3; 95% confidence interval, 6.0-8.6). Over 12 weeks, women assigned to slow-paced respiration (N=79) experienced modest improvements in mean nocturnal voiding frequency (0.4 fewer voids/night), sleep quality (1.1 point score decrease), and sleep disruption (1.5% decreased wake time after sleep onset). However, similar improvements were detected in the music control group (N=81), without significant between-group differences.ConclusionsMany women with overactive bladder syndrome experience disrupted sleep, but not all nocturnal awakenings are attributable to bladder symptoms, and average sleep quality tends to be poor even in women without nocturia. Findings suggest that clinicians should not assume that poor sleep in women with overactive bladder syndrome is primarily caused by nocturnal bladder symptoms. Guided slow-paced respiration was associated with modest improvements in nocturia frequency and sleep quality in this trial, but the results do not support clinician recommendation to use this technique over other behavioral relaxation techniques for improving sleep.

Project description:AimsTo report the initial clinical experience with selective bladder denervation (SBD) of the trigone in women with refractory overactive bladder (OAB).MethodsFemales with refractory OAB underwent SBD of the bladder sub-trigone region. Patients were treated using a 10-s voltage-controlled radiofrequency (RF) algorithm (RF10) at study onset. The protocol was modified during the study after which point remaining patients received 60-s temperature-controlled RF (RF60). Patients were followed for 12 weeks and evaluated for adverse events and changes in OAB symptoms. Exploratory analyses on the influence of RF duration were performed.ResultsAmong 63 patients, SBD resulted in statistically significant and clinically important improvements for most outcomes. Comparing RF10 (n = 34) to RF60 (n = 29), treatment benefit was greater with RF60 including mean reduction in urgency urinary incontinence (-2.5 vs -0.9; P < 0.01), urinary incontinence (-2.6 vs -0.8; P < 0.001), and total urgency and frequency score (-13 vs -7; P = 0.02); and improvements in symptom bother (-33 vs -18; P < 0.01) and quality of life (28 vs 16; P = 0.02) on the OAB questionnaire. The proportion of urgency urinary incontinence treatment responders (≥50% reduction in episodes) was 79% with RF60 and 31% with RF10. The frequency of device- or procedure-related adverse events was comparable in RF10 versus RF60 groups (14.7% vs 17.2%).ConclusionsThis study demonstrated the feasibility of SBD in alleviating symptoms of refractory OAB. A 60-s RF algorithm using deeper ablations of the sub-trigonal tissues was more effective and comparably safe to a 10-s RF algorithm using more superficial ablations.

Project description:The aim of this study is analysis of urinary proteomic pattern in healthy people and patients suffering from OAB symptoms by means of mass spectrophotometry. Establishing characteristic protein profiles, qualitative and quantitative, for OAB will help to define specific protein marker and will allow to develop new investigative protocol enabling to discover at what stage of post-genetic changes urothelium cells change their proteomic profile causing OAB symptoms. Patients will be divided into two groups: group A – OAB patients and group B – control group, without any urinary tract symptoms. All participants will be questionnaired with appropriate tools evaluating quality of life of patients with lower urinary tract symptoms and bladder diary. Urine samples will be taken twice with 7 day gap and then prepared for further evaluation with mass spectrophotometry. Mass spectrophotometry will be performed for all labeled samples with QExactive spectrophotometer. In order to provide maximal credibility and reliability of acquired data each sample will be managed in triplicate. Those result will be analyzed with specific statistical methods and final results will be correlated between the groups. In long-term perspective results of this project will help to understand the underlying pathomechanisms of overactive blabber syndrome. In future those results will be applied for further research in OAB sufferers allowing for precise and objective diagnosis and prognosis. In our opinion it will also serve as a tool for estimations of treatment efficacy of new therapeutic methods. In consequence the project will allow us to create a unique toolkit, combining spectrophotometry, urinary proteomic pattern differences and quality of life correlated with OAB symptoms severity. It will enable to develop new perspectives for overactive bladder pathophysiology research and new therapeutic strategies.

Project description:Interstitial cystitis and bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) are terms used to describe a heterogeneous chronic pelvic and bladder pain disorder. Despite its significant prevalence, the disease etiology is not well understood and providing diagnosis and treatment can be challenging. In our study, published recently in the Journal of Urology (Colaco et al., 2014), we describe the use of microarrays as a tool to characterize IC/BPS and to determine if there are clinical factors that correlate with gene expression. This data-in-brief article describes the methodology for that study, including data analysis, in further detail. Deposited data can be found in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database: GSE57560.
