Filter by:The purpose of the study is to: Investigate effect of iontophoresis on managing uterine cervicitis.
This study is a pilot randomized controlled trial evaluating the use of either a) rapid 30-minute desktop assay or b) point-of-care gram stain (current standard of care) to guide the clinical management of patients with symptomatic urethritis or cervicitis evaluated in the Massachusetts General Hospital Sexual Health Clinic. Patients presenting with symptoms of urethritis or cervicitis and meeting inclusion criteria will be randomized to have diagnostic specimens tested during the clinical encounter using either the 30-minute desktop assay or point-of-care gram stain. Patients randomized to the intervention arm of the study will also have a gram stain created, which will be held for interpretation by the clinician following the clinical encounter. Patients will not be followed longitudinally. Recruitment will conclude when 100 participants enroll in the study.
Supracervical hysterectomy is widely common and had many complications either immediate or delayed. In these patients bleeding, infection, chronic pelvic pain are common. In these patients cervical biopsy was done and histopathological examinations were done to evaluate the pathology in these patients.
The purpose of this on-going study is to study the number of days after antibiotic treatment has commenced (due to infection caused by the sexually transmitted bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Mycoplasma genitalium(Mg)) it takes to be cured i.e to get a negative test result. The specimens are analyzed on first-catch-urine (men) or patient's self-obtained vaginal sample with quantitive nucleic acid amplification test(NAAT). A secondary aim is to detect macrolide resistant Mg-strains and study whether there are any emerging macrolide resistant Mg-strains after treatment with azithromycin. A third aim is to study whether the participating subjects are adherent to the study protocol meaning 12 samples taken during a period of four weeks.
Mucopurulent cervicitis (MPC) is a syndrome with associated symptoms including mucopurulent discharge (mucus and pus) from the cervix and other signs of inflammation such as easily induced cervical bleeding. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of no treatment versus empiric treatment with a single dose of cefixime and azithromycin for cure of MPC. Empiric treatment is the initiation of treatment prior to a firm diagnosis. Study participants will include 772 women ages 18 and older in good health with MPC. Women will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 possible study groups: Group 1 will receive a single dose of cefixime and azithromycin antibiotics and Group 2 will receive placebo (inactive substance). Study procedures will include pelvic examination with a cervical swab sample. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for approximately 2 months, which includes 3 study visits.
