Filter by:Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an effective treatment for patients with chronic pelvic pain. The investigators will evaluate how safe and effective closed-loop spinal cord stimulation is in treating these patients; closed-loop spinal cord stimulation is a more novel method in delivering spinal cord stimulation that controls energy output of the device based on real-time feedback on how the device is stimulating the spinal cord.
The study is being completed to evaluate the effectiveness of a web-based, self-management program for patients with Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP). The overall hypothesis is that patients with chronic pelvic pain that have access to the My Pelvic Plan program will demonstrate improvements in pain, physical function, and quality of life with this integrative self-management approach.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the impact of a detailed treatment handbook and follow-up schedule on women seeking care for chronic pelvic pain in a gynecology office-based practice. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How does the handbook and follow-up impact patient satisfaction? - How does the handbook and follow-up impact patient pain and quality of life scores? Participants will be randomized to receive the office standard of care, or standard of care plus a printed handbook customized to highlight their diagnosis, treatment plan and follow-up schedule.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to verify the response of genito-pelvic pain disorders in women associated with inability to penetrate to the treatment with non-ablative radiofrequency. The main question it aims to answer is: Does non-ablative radiofrequency have a positive effect on the symptoms of genito-pelvic pain disorders associated with inability to penetrate? Before starting the intervention and at one week, one-, three- and six months after the end of the study, participants will be evaluated with 03 questionnaires (Female Sexual Function Index, Sexual Quality of Life and Perceived Stress Scale-10) and will score the visual analogue scale the level of pain with the penetration (from 0 to 10); participants will then undergo digital evaluation of the pelvic floor muscles, using vaginal dilators and electromyographic evaluation. After being randomized, participants will be divided into the Experimental Group and the Sham Group, being submitted to • the use of non-ablative radiofrequency in the anal and urogenital triangles, • the positioning of the vaginal dilator at the end of each session • and participants will be instructed to use the vaginal dilator at home daily. The researchers will compare the groups in relation to the ability to penetrate with reduced vaginal pain, sexual function, quality of sexual life and the correlation between pelvic muscle activity and perceived stress.
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a severe pain condition affecting 3-8 million people in the United States lacking treatments that work. Emotional suffering is common in IC/BPS and known to make physical symptoms worse, and studies show patient sub-groups respond differently to treatment. Individuals with IC/BPS have distinct subgroups, or "phenotypes," largely characterized by the distribution of pain throughout the body. Supported by our preliminary evidence, the overall goal of this project is to assess how IC/BPS phenotype may affect response to two different therapies often given without regard to patient phenotype, pelvic floor physical therapy (PT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for IC/BPS.
The mechanisms underlying variable efficacy of Relugolix-Combination Therapy (REL-CT) in mitigating unexplained pelvic pain will be evaluated with uterine imaging techniques and quantitative sensory testing.
The purpose of this study is to see if a randomized controlled trial of ovarian vein and pelvic vein embolization versus venography alone could determine outcomes for women with chronic pelvic pain and pelvic varicose veins. The data gathered will assist in addressing changes in quality of life in patients who have ovarian/pelvic vein embolization versus no embolization.
Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive FDA approved treatment for urinary and fecal incontinence, urinary frequency, urgency, and urinary retention. In this study we are assessing the effectiveness of sacral neuromodulation in women with suffering from chronic pelvic pain (CPP), through a single device implant procedure.
We want to study if a new treatment called "CT-guided bilateral pudendal nerve cryoneurolysis" can help people with severe and long-lasting pain in the pelvic area caused by cancer. We will closely follow and observe patients who undergo this treatment to see if it works well, what results it gives, and if there are any problems or side effects. "Percutaneous image-guided cryoneurolysis" involves using very cold temperatures to treat the nerves causing the pain. This method has been found to provide longer pain relief compared to injections or catheters, and it also has a lower risk of certain complications. We are conducting a study to assess the effectiveness of two different treatments for severe and persistent pelvic pain caused by cancer. The first treatment, known as "CT-guided bilateral pudendal nerve cryoneurolysis," involves using advanced imaging technology to precisely target and freeze the pudendal nerves, which are responsible for transmitting pain signals. By closely monitoring patients who receive this treatment, we aim to evaluate its efficacy, outcomes, and potential side effects. On the other hand, the second treatment approach, referred to as "Percutaneous image-guided cryoneurolysis," focuses on using extremely cold temperatures to alleviate pain originating from the pudendal nerves. This method has demonstrated extended pain relief compared to alternatives like injections or catheters. Additionally, it presents a lower risk of certain complications. Through our study, we seek to gain insights into the effectiveness and safety of both treatment methods, enhancing our understanding of how to address the challenging issue of cancer-related pelvic pain. The study will enroll patients who are dealing with severe and persistent pelvic pain from cancer. All patients will undergo the CT-guided bilateral pudendal nerve cryoneurolysis first type of treatment and if it is not effective in relieving the pain, they will be offered to undergo the second treatment called Percutaneous image-guided cryoneurolysis. Both of these treatments are done as standard of care. This research study will not alter standard of care. Subjects will only be enrolled into this study if they are already undergoing CT-guided bilateral pudendal nerve cryoneurolysis followed up with Percutaneous image-guided cryoneurolysis, as needed. This is a prospective study of these two treatments following patient outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if baclofen vaginal suppositories improve symptoms of Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP). Participants in this study will take four short questionnaires prior to being randomized. Randomization is like flipping a coin; participants have an equal likelihood of being randomized to the treatment group (vaginal baclofen suppositories) or placebo group (vaginal suppository without baclofen ingredient). Participants will take their assigned treatment nightly for 8 weeks. Follow up visits will be at the 4 and 8 week time frames, when questionnaires will again be completed. Participants may receive additional treatments for CPP during the course of the study. After 8 weeks Participants will be offered a prescription for baclofen suppositories and the study drug will be stopped. Follow up on patient symptoms with questionnaires will again occur at 12 weeks.
