About this study

The study aims at investigating the possible correlation between core stability muscles and urinary incontinence following Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy.

Sixty-two patients who are candidates for Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy will be enrolled. All participants will be asked to be evaluated in their core stability functionality 30-40 days before Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy intervention. The core stability functionality result will be correlated with the urinary incontinence 45-50 days after intervention.

Read the detailed description

The study aims at investigating the correlation between core stability muscles and urinary incontinence following Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy.

All sixty-two participants will be asked to be evaluated in their core stability functionality 30-40 days before Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy intervention. Core stability functionality will be evaluated through the Loumajoki Battery of tests, composed of 10 simple items in which the patients have to maintain core stability. In addition a Quality of Life questionnaire (WHO Quality of Life-BREF) will be administered. The core stability functionality result will be correlated with urinary incontinence measured by the 24h PAD test 45-50 days after intervention. At this point core stability will be evaluated again as done before.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Correlation between Core stability functionality and Urinary Incontinence.

    To evaluate any correlation between Core stability functionality measured with Loumajoki Battery and Urinary Incontinence measured with 24h PAD test.

    Measured: Core stability evaluated 30-40 days before surgery. Urinary incontinence evaluated 45-50 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Correlation between Core stability functionality and Quality of Life.

    To evaluate any correlation between Core stability functionality measured with Loumajoki Battery and Quality of Life measured with WHO Quality of Life-BREF.

    Measured: Core stability evaluated 30-40 days before surgery. Quality of Life evaluated 30-40 days before surgery

  2. Variation between Core stability functionality at base line and at follow-up.

    To evaluate any variation between Core stability functionality at base line and at follow-up measured with Loumajoki Battery.

    Measured: Core stability evaluated 30-40 days before surgery and 45-50 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer, run by Istituto Clinico Humanitas at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact roberto gatti (0282245610, roberto.gatti@hunimed.eu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation between Core stability functionality and Urinary Incontinence. (time frame: Core stability evaluated 30-40 days before surgery. Urinary incontinence evaluated 45-50 days after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 7 Jun 2023.
