Are You Postmenopausal & Losing Your Sexual Desire?
Find out about this Sexual Desire Research Study for Postmenopausal Women.
It's a clinical research study evaluating a non-hormonal investigational drug in postmenopausal women concerned about their reduced interest in sex. In addition to possible access to the investigational drug, it's offering eligible postmenopausal women the opportunity to:
- - Consult with a study doctor about their troubling loss of sexual desire.
- - Have access to women's research professionals to discuss study participants' distress.
Study-related care, study drugs, and study consultation will be provided at no cost.
Do You Wake Several Times Each Night To Use The Bathroom?
We are currently recruiting non-smoking men and women, age 50 years or older, for a research study to evaluate the effectiveness of an investigational nasal spray to reduce the number of times you get up each night to urinate. If you wake two or more times each night to urinate and have experienced these symptoms regularly for six months or more, you may qualify for this study. Qualified participants may receive confidential study related medical care, including physical exam, lab tests, and study medication, at no cost. Additional compensation for travel and other expenses may also be provided. For more information please visit www.adultnocturia.com or contact: Integrity Medical Research
Are you no longer turned on when the lights turn off?
A medical research study for women who have lost their sexual desire.

Phase 1 Study of the Litx BPH System in Patients With Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) Due to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Research Study For Interstitial Cystitis
Do you have long standing pain in your pelvis? Do you have recurring bladder pain or discomfort? Frequent trips to the bathroom?
We are enrolling qualified participants, at least 18 years old, who have the bladder disease Interstitial Cystitis, a condition associated with recurrent bladder pain or discomfort, and urinary frequency.
All participants will receive either an approved oral medication for Interstitial Cystitis or placebo. For this research study, up to 9 office visits are scheduled over a 24-week treatment period.
If you qualify, you will receive at no cost: study related exams, lab tests, and study medication.
Does OAB (Overactive Bladder) Keep You Up at Night?
Do frequent trips to the bathroom during the night keep you from getting a good night's sleep?
We are conducting a research study to evaluate a new, approved medication for overactive bladder and are looking for participants, age 18 years and over, who have experienced the following overactive bladder symptoms for at least three months:
- - strong, sudden urges to urinate, especially at night
- - needing to urinate frequently
If you take part in this research study, we will ask you to attend five office visits over a 16-week period. If qualified, you will receive the study medication or placebo (an inactive look alike pill) and study-related care at no cost. You may also be compensated for time and travel.
Do You Experience Urinary Stress Incontinence?
Characterized by the loss or leakage of urine during activities such as:
- - Coughing, laughing or sneezing
- - Climbing stairs or bending
- - Lifting, straining or other stressful activity
If you, or someone you know, are suffering from these symptoms, we are seeking women, 18 years of age or older, to take part in a post-approval study
to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of a treatment of stress incontinence.

Bladder Pain?
Don't Suffer in Silence
A clinical research opportunity:
Join in the quest to advance new pain medicines for Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome (IC/PBS)
People with IC/PBS suffer from unbearable pain and pressure in the bladder area, and a need to urinate suddenly or often. As a result, daily life falls apart. Currently, few good treatments exist to treat IC/PBS pain and other symptoms. New medicines are needed, yet this can only happen through clinical trials and the willingness of those living with IC/PBS to take part. If you suffer from moderate to severe pain associated with IC/PBS, please consider this an invitation to participate in an important clinical trial.
To qualify, you must:
- - Be at least 18 years or older
- - Have had IC/PBS symptoms for at least 6 months
- - Agree to attend the required clinic visits for 24 weeks, after a screening process, and follow the treatment plan carefully
- - Agree to keep a daily diary of your symptoms
- - Undergo cystoscopy unless you've had this procedure within the past two years
- If you qualify and you agree to participate you will:
- - Possibly gain more knowledge about your IC/PBS and how to manage it
- - Have a greater chance (80%) of receiving the study medicine, and less of a chance (20%) of receiving the placebo (no medicine)
- - Keep a daily diary that will start to carefully monitor your pain and other symptoms
- - Receive medical tests that further help you learn about your body and its response to the study medicine
- - Possibly be compensated for travel
Always Looking For That Sign?
Ask your physician to point you in the right direction of a medical research study.
