Patients' Quality of Life After Pilonidal Cyst Operations.

Status Enrolling by invitation

Clinical Trial Summary

Biomedical research consists of two main parts. In the first part, the pilonidal cyst-specific quality of life questionnaire is compiled, adapted, validated, tested for suitability in assessing patients after pilonidal cyst operations. The second part will compare two pilonidal cyst operations. A prospective, comparative, randomized clinical study will be conducted.

Clinical Trial Description

The first part includes the creation, adaptation, validity and suitability of the pilonidal cyst-specific quality of life questionnaire in assessing patients after pilonidal cyst operations, verification and evaluation of the quality of life and its dynamics after these operations. A survey of patients operated on for acute and chronic pilonidal cysts will be conducted. The main evaluation criteria of the first part will be the internal consistency of the questionnaire, the stability of the measurements, the construct validity and the frequency of patients with moderate and severe symptoms according to the specific quality of life questionnaire after pilonidal cyst surgery and the SF36v2 quality of life questionnaire. The second part will compare two pilonidal cyst operations. A prospective, comparative, randomized clinical study will be conducted. This part of the study will study patients scheduled for surgery for chronic pilonidal cyst. Patients will be randomized into two groups, a group that will undergo radical excision of the pilonidal cyst without suturing the wound and a group that will undergo minimally invasive "pit picking" surgery. Patients will be interviewed before surgery, as well as on the first and second day after surgery. Discharged patients will complete quality-of-life questionnaires at 1, 2 weeks, and 2 months. Patients will be invited for a visit after 1 and 6 months, wound healing, disease recurrence and quality of life will be evaluated. The main evaluation criteria of the second part will be objective data - postoperative complications, wound healing time, duration of incapacity for work, frequency of disease recurrence and subjective data - changes in pain (VAS 10 cm scale) and quality of life total points according to SF36v2 and the specific life questionnaire created after radical pilonidal cyst excision and "pit picking" operations. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
