Treatment Summary

Oxybutynin, also known as Ditropan XL, is a medication used to treat overactive bladder (OAB). OAB is a common condition that causes symptoms like frequent urination and urgency. Oxybutynin was first approved by the FDA in 1975 and is considered a safe and effective treatment for OAB. It can help improve the quality of life for people affected by OAB by relieving their symptoms. It is often the first drug prescribed for OAB.

Effectiveness

How Oxytrol For Women Affects Patients

Oxybutynin helps to relieve symptoms of an overactive bladder, such as frequent and urgent urination, by blocking a certain type of nerve receptor. Taking this drug may cause symptoms of angioedema, so it should be stopped immediately if this occurs. It can also cause anticholinergic effects such as hallucinations, confusion, agitation, and drowsiness, and using heavy machinery should be avoided until the response to oxybutynin is known. The dose may need to be adjusted in some cases.

How Oxytrol For Women works in the body

Oxybutynin works by blocking the effects of a chemical called acetylcholine on bladder muscles, which makes it easier to control urine flow and decreases urgency and frequency of urination. It does this by preventing the chemical from binding to receptors in the bladder muscles. Oxybutynin's active metabolite is N-desethyloxybutynin, which works to relax the bladder and increase its capacity.

Saphenous Nerve Stimulation for Overactive Bladder

18+
All Sexes
Camden, NJ

The goal of this clinical trial is to study the NiNA System and how it works to treat overactive bladder. Up to 290 participants will be enrolled in the study in the USA and Australia. The investigational NiNA System includes a wearable neurostimulator device ("NiNA" or "Device"), a flexible wrap to secure the Device to the calf during treatment of the saphenous nerve (SAFN), with smartphone-based control application with patient support features that allow users to control the stimulation therapy and receive reminder on days they are supposed to provide therapy ("NiNA App") or an enhanced smartphone-based control application which also has patient support features and educational multi-media content ("NiNA Care App"). The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1) How does the NiNA system compare to a common overactive bladder (OAB) medication; 2) How well does the NiNA system improve overactive bladder symptoms; and, 3) Does the NiNA system produce any unwanted side-effects. In the study half the participants randomly receive the NiNA system and the other half first receive the OAB medication and later are treated with the NiNA System. The Participants in the investigative Device arm (NiNA) will: Provide NiNA system treatments very day for 30 minutes during a 28 day induction/restore period. This is followed by maintenance treatments (30 minutes, 3-times a week) until 12 weeks, when the primary endpoint data are measured. Participants continue maintenance (30 minutes, 3-times a week) for the remaining 52 weeks of the study. Participants in the OAB medication arm will: Take a capsule every day (tolterodine tartrate extended release (ER) 4 mg) for twelve weeks. At 12 weeks, OAB medication arm Participants will stop taking the OAB medication and cross-over to treatment with the NiNA system. One-third of the cross-over Participants will be use a phone-based software application that allows them to control the neurostimulator and receive reminders on days the are scheduled to provide their therapy (NiNA App) and the other two-thirds of the cross-over Participants will use a phone based software application that also contains educational videos that reinforce the therapy (NiNA Care App). Assignment to each arm is random. The study will measure primary and secondary endpoints completely remotely using digital questionnaires that are presented to Participants on a specialized software application installed on their phones ("Study App"): Changes in OAB symptoms at a defined set of time points using the following instruments: 1. Bladder diary (3-day, consecutive); 2. Self-administered and validated Quality-of-Life questionnaires (see Effectiveness Assessments); 3. Additional assessments of participant satisfaction and preferences will be obtained using participant study surveys and questionnaires at defined study time points.

Behavioral Sleep and Mindfulness Therapy for Nocturia

65+
Female
Pittsburgh, PA

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine and compare the effect of behavioral sleep treatment: BBTI (brief behavioral treatment of insomnia) and brief mindfulness (MI), independently and combined vs control on frequency of nighttime awakenings to void (nocturia) and on nighttime urine production in older women over the age 65 years with nocturia. To study the effect of these treatments, participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following groups 1) BBTI alone, 2) MI alone, 3) BBTI+MI, or 4) control: sleep information only without any structured sleep or mindfulness therapy. The study aims to examine the effect of these therapies at end-of-treatment (week 4), as well sustained effects at 3- and 6-months. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. do these treatments reduce the frequency of nighttime awakenings to void 2. do these treatments reduce the volume of nighttime urine production 3. do these treatments improve sleep quality Frequency of nocturia and sleep quality will be assessed via questionnaires and nighttime urine volume using bladder-sleep diaries which is 3-day record participants will complete at home documenting every time they go to the bathroom and volume they voided. In addition, sleep and sleep interruptions will also be assessed using an FDA-cleared home sleep testing device called Zmachine®.

Self-Start Triage Model for Overactive Bladder

18+
Female
Cleveland, OH

The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether providing a standing, take-home prescription for empiric Macrobid (self-start model) is superior to standard call-in/urgent care triage (triage model) among patients undergoing intradetrusor Botox®. Urinary tract infections. (UTIs) are the most common complication with intradetrusor Botox®, and patients have to call in to the triage line or present to a health care facility to be evaluated. Thus, the research team will compare Unplanned Healthcare Utilization, i.e. the frequency of triage calls, MyChart messages, Urgent Care visits, and Emergency Department visits related to urinary symptoms, between participants in the self-start intervention group and those in the triage control group. The team hypothesizes that patients in the "self-start" intervention group will demonstrate a lower frequency of healthcare utilization events when compared to those in the standard of care control.

Nitrous Oxide for Pain During Bladder Botox Injections

18+
Female
Cincinnati, OH

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess if a mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen can improve pain control during bladder Botox injections. The primary question it aims to answer is: Does using nitrous oxide lower the overall level of pain during the procedure? Researchers will compare a 50:50 nitrous oxide/oxygen mixture (administered with the Pro-Nox system) plus standard care (with lidocaine in the bladder) to sham mask plus standard care to see if nitrous oxide works better for lowering pain. Participants will: * Receive their bladder Botox injection in the office setting * Either use nitrous oxide/oxygen plus standard care during the procedure, or sham mask plus standard care * Answer brief questions about pain, anxiety, satisfaction, and willingness to repeat the procedure
