Incontinence & Intimate Partners: Assessing the Contribution of Treatment
A Phase 4 study testing Solifenacin in people with Urge Urinary Incontinence, run by Loyola University at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
Urge urinary incontinence (UUI) is a socially debilitating disease due to its inherently unpredictable nature and sometimes large volumes of urine loss. Women with UUI may experience anxiety over public episodes of incontinence and concerns about odor and, as a result, isolate themselves socially. Read more about this study

About this study
Urge urinary incontinence (UUI) is a socially debilitating disease due to its inherently unpredictable nature and sometimes large volumes of urine loss. Women with UUI may experience anxiety over public episodes of incontinence and concerns about odor and, as a result, isolate themselves socially. This isolation affects both partners in the relationship and may be a source of discord. The impact of UUI also moves into personal relationships where fears or actual episodes of incontinence during physical intimacy, including but limited to intercourse, may result in limited interactions and changes in the relationship satisfaction for both partners. Few studies have examined the role of urinary incontinence, particularly UUI, in the dynamics of an intimate partner relationship and none have evaluated the impact of successful UUI treatment.
The long-term goal of our research is to understand the social and emotional impact of pelvic floor disorders, particularly UUI, on the well-being of an intimate relationship. Ultimately, we aim to evaluate the role that successful treatment plays in the alleviation of discord in intimate partner relationships that are affected by UUI and other pelvic floor disorders.
Our objective for this proposal is to characterize, using validated, quantifiable methods the quality of the relationship in couples affected by UUI and to identify the role that treatment plays in improving this relationship. Our central hypothesis is that UUI has a negative impact upon the emotional and physical well-being of a relationship and that effective treatment will result in improvement in areas of the relationship that have been detrimentally affected by UUI. Our rationale for this study is that an understanding of UUI in the context of a couple, particularly from the perspective of the male partner, will improve our ability to holistically treat UUI, thus improving patient outcomes and satisfaction.
Read the detailed description
Chronic illness places emotional, physical, and financial burdens upon both the patient and her partner and can be a significant source of stress in a relationship. The symptoms of UUI inherently pose greater social challenges than those faced by women other forms of pelvic floor disorders. For example, women with UUI may avoid social situations due to fear of having an accident or may be reluctant to participate in activities during which it may be difficult to find a bathroom. The resulting social isolation impacts both members of the dyad and may serve as a source of relationship discord. Changes in sexual function and perceived intimacy, including non-intercourse intimacy, as well as communication may be new sources of stress in a previously healthy relationship or may serve to amplify pre-existing relationship problems.
Sexual function is another area in which UUI may cause a negative impact. Studies of coital incontinence among incontinent clinic populations report prevalence ranging from 10%-56% with a median of 22%. The prevalence of coital incontinence may be related to the type of incontinence as well as the severity of symptoms. Stress incontinence has been associated with leakage of urine during intercourse, while detrusor instability and urge incontinence have been correlated with leakage during orgasm. A cross-sectional study of women with UUI and urinary incontinence found that among women reporting low sexual desire, stress incontinence was common (47%), while 46% of women reporting orgasmic phase dysfunction reported symptoms of urge incontinence. Qualitative data corroborates the negative impact of UUI on dyadic and sexual relations.
Another mechanism by which UUI may affect satisfaction with dyadic relations is through depressive symptomatology. Urinary incontinence is associated with a decrease in overall health-related quality of life and is positively correlated with depression, anxiety, and stress. Studies of other chronic illnesses demonstrate a correlation between the patient's level of depression and that of their spouse; level of depression shows an inverse relationship with degree of satisfaction with the relationship.
One of the two studies in the published literature that use quantitative methods to evaluate the impact of urodynamic stress incontinence and detrusor overactivity on the marital relationship concluded that both sexual function and marital relationships are negatively affected by incontinence. This study, like others, is based upon the perspective of the female partner. A recent study of Swedish women with urinary incontinence and urgency is the only study which includes the perspective of the male partner to examine the impact of UUI on the relationship. It concludes that, "Female urinary incontinence, urgency and frequency significantly impair the quality of life in both younger and older women, and also have negative effects on the partner relationship and the partner's life".
The perspective of intimate partners of women with UUI and other forms of PFD is largely missing from the literature. Any analysis of the role of UUI in intimate partner relationships is incomplete without this perspective.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
SolifenacinDrug
Also called Vesicare
Women presenting with UUI symptoms receive 5 to 10 milligrams (mg) of daily solifenacin for up to 16 weeks
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Female Partners | Experimental | This arm comprises female partners who receive up to 16 weeks of solifenacin treatment for their UUI symptoms Receives: Drug: Solifenacin |
| Male Partners | No intervention | This arm comprises healthy male partners |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Baseline Sexual Satisfaction Between Matched Female and Male Partners
Prior to beginning treatment with solifenacin, females presenting with UUI complete the Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS). Their male partners also complete the GRISS at the baseline visit. The GRISS is a 28-item self-administered questionnaire that assess the quality of the sexual relationship of a heterosexual couple. Scores range from 0 to 10 with higher scores indicating greater sexual dysfunction.
Measured: 0 Weeks
Secondary outcomes (2)
Change in Overall Sexual Satisfaction Among Females
Females presenting with UUI complete the Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS) at baseline (0 weeks) and after 12-16 weeks of treatment with solifenacin. For this outcome, the baseline score is subtracted from the follow-up score and this change score is compared between those who respond and do not respond to treatment with solifenacin. The GRISS is a 28-item self-administered questionnaire that assess the quality of the sexual relationship of a heterosexual couple. Scores range from 0 to 10 with higher scores indicating greater sexual dysfunction.
Measured: Baseline and 12-16 weeks
Change in Overall Sexual Satisfaction Among Healthy Male Partners
Healthy male partners of female participants complete the Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS) survey. For this outcome, their baseline score is subtracted from their follow-up score which is collected after their female partner completes approximately 12-16 weeks of solifenacin treatment for UUI symptoms. This change score is compared between male partners of female participants who respond to solifenacin versus male partners of female participants who do not respond to solifenacin. The GRISS is a 28-item self-administered questionnaire that assess the quality of the sexual relationship of a heterosexual couple. Scores range from 0 to 10 with higher scores indicating greater sexual dysfunction.
Measured: Baseline and 12-16 weeks

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Urge urinary incontinence (UUI) is a socially debilitating disease due to its inherently unpredictable nature and sometimes large volumes of urine loss. Women with UUI may experience anxiety over public episodes of incontinence and concerns about odor and, as a result, isolate themselves socially. This isolation affects both partners in the relationship and may be a source of discord. The impact of UUI also moves into personal relationships where fears or actual episodes of incontinence during physical intimacy, including but limited to intercourse, may result in limited interactions and changes in the relationship satisfaction for both partners. Few studies have examined the role of urinary incontinence, particularly UUI, in the dynamics of an intimate partner relationship and none have evaluated the impact of successful UUI treatment.
The long-term goal of our research is to understand the social and emotional impact of pelvic floor disorders, particularly UUI, on the well-being of an intimate relationship. Ultimately, we aim to evaluate the role that successful treatment plays in the alleviation of discord in intimate partner relationships that are affected by UUI and other pelvic floor disorders.
Our objective for this proposal is to characterize, using validated, quantifiable methods the quality of the relationship in couples affected by UUI and to identify the role that treatment plays in improving this relationship. Our central hypothesis is that UUI has a negative impact upon the emotional and physical well-being of a relationship and that effective treatment will result in improvement in areas of the relationship that have been detrimentally affected by UUI. Our rationale for this study is that an understanding of UUI in the context of a couple, particularly from the perspective of the male partner, will improve our ability to holistically treat UUI, thus improving patient outcomes and satisfaction.

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Dec 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Baseline Sexual Satisfaction Between Matched Female and Male Partners (time frame: 0 Weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01559389, which also lists 19 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Dec 2019.
