Conditions

Bladder Hypersensitivity

Brief summary

The main hypothesis of this study is that peripheral magnetic neuromodulation can correct the symptoms of lower urinary tract in men. We assume that under the influence of t peripheral magnetic stimulation, both the subjective state of patients assessed by standardized questionnaires and a urination diary, as well as the objective parameters, assessed by non-invasive urodynamic studies, will be improved. This study will use standard protocols built into the BTL Emsella magnetic stimulator.

Detailed description

The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that the use of the peripheral magnetic stimulation in men with lower urinary tract symptoms will help to reduce subjective and objective clinical symptoms and improve the quality of life of patients.

Interventions

OTHERPeripheral magnetic neuromodulation

Non-invasive peripheral magnetic neuromodulation using the BTL Emsella magnetic stimulator according to the manufacturer's standard protocol: pelvic floor rehabilitation

DRUGTaking drug Tamsulosin

Tamsulosin at a dose of 0.4 mg x 1 time per day orally for 1 month.

Inclusion criteria

1. Age \> 18 years; 2. Signed informed consent; 3. The presence of lower urinary tract symptoms: urinary frequency, nocturia, urgency; feeling of incomplete bladder, weak urine stream.

Exclusion criteria

1. The patient, who have been implanted devices that control physiological functions (a pacemaker, a device for deep brain stimulation and chronic epidural brain stimulation, a cochlear implant). 2. Convulsive attacks in the anamnesis; 3. Taking medications that may trigger the risk of seizures; 4. The presence in the patient's body of metal elements or objects made with the use of ferromagnets (joint prostheses, eye prostheses, tattoos made using metal ink, surgical clips, staples and other metal suture materials, etc.) 5. Chronic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the stage of decompensation or recent acute conditions (myocardial infarction, brain stroke, etc.) 6. The presence of infravesical obstruction in men, determined by uroflowmetry (obstructive urination curve according to the Liverpool nomogram); 7. The postvoid residual volume (more than 50 ml); 8. The concentration of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in the blood is more than 4.0 ng / ml; 9. The presence of urinary tract infection; 10. A history of cancer of the pelvic floor organs;

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
IPSS change scoreBaseline, 4, 12, 24, 48 weeksThe IPSS questionnaire evaluates the impact of lower urinary tract symptoms on the patient's quality of life. It consists of 8 questions. Questionts evaluates whether the patient has symptoms of incomplete emptying of the bladder and ranges from 0 to 5 points. The increase in scores is directly proportional to the increase in symptoms.
Change baseline of micturition episodes per dayBaseline, 4, 12, 24, 48 weeksPatients should document how many times they go to the restroom during the day and at night, as well as the loss of urine in stressful situations (coughing, sneezing, laughter, squatting, weightlifting, walking, running), changing liner or absorbent and episodes of urgency and urgency-incontinence. The journal shall be held for a consecutive period of 24 hours, for a minimum of three consecutive days.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription

The journal shall be held for a consecutive period of 24 hours, for a minimum of three consecutive days.
