The PROVIDENCE Trial aims to explore the improvement of sexual health and self-perceived health related quality of life (measured by Patient Reported Outcome Measures) through a multimodal intervention that includes patient education on healthy habits and the prevention of vaginal dysfunction using vaginal moisturizers and topical estrogens. To achieve this, a randomized design is proposed to assess sexual health and quality of life in patients treated for cervical cancer who undergo this intervention compared to those who receive standard care.
The general objective of this observational study is identify and describe the type, frequency, and severity of sexual dysfunction in patients with lung cancer and generate strategies for clinical management and oncological follow-up directed and based on the specific findings in this population. The recruitment will be carried out from July 2023 and will be carried out until December 2023, the analysis of the information will be carried out from January to March 2024.
Sexual function in low back pain and after lumbar surgery has been evaluated in many studies In a few studies, sexual function problems after surgery have also been reported. In the literature, there is no study that investigates the effectiveness of physical therapy on sexual function in patients with low back pain. In this study, the effectiveness of physical therapy on sexual function in patients with low back pain will be evaluated.
The term sexual (SD) dysfunction covers conditions that prevent people from having a satisfactory sex life. SD is a frequent and sometimes debilitating complication of mental illness and a known adverse reaction to psycho-pharmacological treatment. SD is also associated with diabetes, a common somatic comorbidity in psychiatric patients. SD is associated with both reduced quality-of-life and reduced treatment adherence, yet SD is far too rarely addressed between the patient and the healthcare professional in clinical consultations. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether targeted education of patients with schizophrenia and diabetes/prediabetes and/or their healthcare professionals in causes and management of SD: - Increases the number of systematic examinations of sexual side effects, - Causes changes in the psycho-pharmacological treatment, and - Reduces the severity or perception of sexual side effects. The study is a multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) with four arms, in which the educational intervention is provided to patients, healthcare professionals, or both groups. The effect of the educational intervention is compared to a non-educated control group. The study is expected to include 192 patients recruited from 16 assertive community treatment centers evenly distributed in four Danish regions. The study is part of an interdisciplinary project named SECRET. The educational intervention was developed in an ethnographic pre-study incorporating stakeholder engagement. Parallel to the present RCT, an ethnographic field study will be carried out to broaden the perspective on the effects of the intervention.
The goal of this randomized study is to assess the impact on self-perceived quality of life (QoL) of systematic screening and early treatment of aftereffects in patients with gynaecological cancers. The main question it aims to answer is if systematic screening with validated questionaries (see in detailed description), diagnosis and early treatment of lower-limb lymphoedema, anxiety-depression, sexual dysfunction and sarcopenia-malnutrition all have a positive impact on the self-perceived QoL by gynaecological cancer patients. Participants will access the screening questionnaires and QoL questionaries on a free online app on their mobile devices. In the experimental group, in case of positive screening, patients will be referred to specialised care to early treatment of the aftereffects. Researchers will compare this group with standard usual care (opportunistic treatment) to see if systematic screening and early treatment lead to a better QoL.
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals most often choose for phalloplasty as a means to create masculine external genitalia. The neophallus created in phalloplasty is usually insufficient for penetrative sexual intercourse due to the lack of erectile structures. Therefore, implantation of an internal erectile prosthesis or use of an external device or epithesis is required. Internal prostheses are the main method for attaining penile rigidity after phalloplasty, but they carry a high risk of complications. Previous research has shown that up to 22% of prostheses for cisgender men were explanted due to various reasons, including infection, erosion, and malfunction within 20 months. The lack of reliable and durable erectile devices leads to a large proportion of patients either choosing phalloplasty but never going for the placement of an erectile prosthesis or completely abandoning the idea of GGAS under the form of phalloplasty. Secondarily, TGD individuals may be concerned about complication rates and likely need for additional surgeries associated with penile implant surgery. Therefore, alternative options for transgender and gender non-conforming patients after phalloplasty are needed. These alternatives may be surgical or non-surgical. External penile epitheses or penile splints were originally designed for cisgender men with erectile dysfunction but have been used experimentally by post-phalloplasty transgender men. While there is no data on the usability and durability of penile epitheses in a TGD population, they may be a viable alternative to an internal penile prosthesis after phalloplasty. Penile lifters or splints, marketed as ElatorTM or ErektorTM, are commercially available and consist of two rigid rings connected by rigid metal rods. The biggest of two rings is placed around the base of the phallus, and the second ring is placed behind the coronal ridge. By connecting the rods to the ring at the base of the penis, tension and rigidity between the two rings is created, allowing the user to penetrate their partner and remove the device after intercourse. The current study aims to extend the knowledge on these external devices by comparing them to the implantation of an internal penile prosthesis in post-phalloplasty transgender patients.
A questionnaire will be send to kidney transplant recipients to investigate characteristics of them and their sexual function, all participants in the survey are anonymous and voluntary, then analyse these characteristics.
