Effects of Surgical Treatment Enhanced With Exercise for Mixed Urinary Incontinence (ESTEEM)

NICHD Pelvic Floor Disorders Network·interventional·Posted Oct 10, 2013·Updated May 14, 2020

In Brief

A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Miduretheral Sling and Miduretheral Sling with behavioral/pelvic floor therapy for Urinary Incontinence, Stress and Urinary Incontinence, Urge. Completed, enrolled 480 participants across 10 sites.

Detailed Summary

The overarching goal of this randomized trial is to estimate the effect of combined midurethral sling (MUS) and peri-operative behavioral/pelvic floor therapy (BPTx) compared to MUS alone on successful treatment of MUI symptoms in 472 women. Secondary objectives include estimating the effect of combined treatment compared to MUS on improving overactive bladder (OAB) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) outcomes separately, need for additional treatment, time to failure and identifying predictors of poor outcomes in this MUI population. A supplemental study, The Human Microbiome Study of ESTEEM, will evaluate the urinary and vaginal microbiome as it relates to women with MUI, their treatment and unaffected controls.

Interventions

Miduretheral Slingprocedure

MUS can include the TVT™ (mechanical cut mesh only, Gynecare, ETHICON Women's Health \& Urology, Somerville, NJ), TVT-O™ (mechanical cut mesh only, Gynecare), or Monarc™ (American Medical Systems, Minnetonka, MN).

Miduretheral Sling with behavioral/pelvic floor therapyother

MUS is combined with components of behavioral therapy (designed to change behaviors to encourage continence), and pelvic floor muscle therapy (designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, enhance the physiological closure of the bladder neck, and improve coordination). This is done prior to MUS (1 visit) and after MUS for 5 visits at 2, 4, 6, 8 weeks and 6 months.
