Plantarflexion Reduces Urgency and Peak Detrusor Pressure in Patients With Detrusor Overactivity

The purpose of this study is to find out whether plantarflexion has an effect on the degree of urinary urgency and on the amplitude of detrusor contraction during filling cystometry in patients with detrusor overactivity (DO).

About this study

Patients with urodynamic DO will be included in this study. During urodynamics, the mean peak detrusor pressures of each contraction will be documented and compared. At the beginning of the 2nd or 3rd wave, patients will be asked to perform continuous plantar-flexion by pushing their tiptoes against the floor. Following each wave, patients will be asked to grade the severity of the urgency by a visual analogue scale

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

All patients with urodynamic detrusor overactivity

Exclusion criteria

Inability to perform plantarflexion due to mental or physical disability

Treatment and study plan

Plantarflexion 2nd wave

Behavioral

At the beginning of the 2nd wave, patients will be asked to perform continuous plantar-flexion by pushing their tiptoes against the floor.

Plantarflexion - 3rd wave

Behavioral

At the beginning of the 3rd wave, patients will be asked to perform continuous plantar-flexion by pushing their tiptoes against the floor.

Primary outcomes

  1. Mean Peak Detrusor Pressures

    Time frame: through test completion, an average of 10 minutes

    Mean peak detrusor pressures of each contraction

Secondary outcomes

  1. Severity of the Urgency by a 0-10 Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).

    Time frame: through test completion, an average of 10 minutes

    Following each wave, patients will be asked to grade the severity of the urgency by a 0 (minimum) to 10 (maximum) visual analogue scale (VAS).
