Filter by:To learn about the communications that Supportive Care patients receive about sexual well-being from their healthcare provider. Researchers also want to learn about your attitudes, beliefs, and feelings about sexual well-being.
investigators aim to re-evaluate the findings of Fibromyalgia in patients whose FSFI scores return to normal levels after sexual therapy, by identifying patients with sexual dysfunction according to the FSFI scale applied in patients investigators followed up with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, and when investigators consulted with obstetricians.
Sexual wellbeing is an integral component of psychosocial and physical wellbeing. Cancer-related symptoms, treatment side-effects and psychosocial distress have significant impact on sexual well-being and sexual health. Within the framework of sexual wellbeing, sexual function is defined by a capacity to fully engage in all phases of the human sexual response cycle. Thus, sexual dysfunction is characterized by a disruption in one or more elements of the response cycle. Previous research shows that patients with hematologic malignancies and specifically patients following stem cell transplantation experience a high symptom burden and distinct genital alterations, and therefore in increased risk of sexual dysfunction. In spite of growing evidence documenting high prevalence of sexual dysfunction in cancer patients, patients with hematologic malignancies are underrepresented in clinical trials investigating their sexual health. This study aims to examine the sexual health in patients across hematologic malignancies in Denmark, and to investigate feasiblity and effect of a randomized multimodal intervention by providing nurse-led sexual consultations and physician-led preventive genital examinations, to enhance sexual function and early recognition of gential graft versus host disease in adult patients following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Finally, the study aims to explore perspectives and experiences of patients following this multimodal intervention. This knowledge will entail new opportunities to detect subgroups of patients with distinct risk of sexual dysfunction, and potentially lead to targeted interventions in clinical practice toward this specific population. Moreover this will provide evidence with high methodological rigor and potentially strengthen the possibilities for evidence-based decision making in Denmark regarding preventive gential examinations during follow-up in patients following stem cell transplant.
This research study is evaluating the impact of an intervention to improve sexual function in stem cell transplant survivors on participants' sexual function, quality of life, and mood. It is expected that about 120 people who have undergone a stem cell transplant will take part in this research study.
In addressing the need for effective post treatment support for men (and their partners) following treatment for prostate cancer, the investigators will employ an innovative SHAReClinic (Sexual health and Rehabilitation eClinic Program) that emphasizes: 1) a bio-medical component (erectile rehabilitation), focused on the long term return of erectile functioning firm enough for penetration with or without erectile agents/devices; and 2) a psychological component (intimacy maintenance), involving the maintenance or restoration of couples' intimacy. Through comparison research, the eClinic will be analyzed and made comparable in quality to the programs offered currently at leading institutions in major metropolitan areas, thus providing personalized, comprehensive cancer care to all Canadians.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of fispemifene in men with secondary hypogonadism and sexual side effects.
300 italian women will be enroll for linguistic and cultural validation in italian of Female sexual function index (FSFI). This questionnaire is used in most countries to investigate female sexual function. To date there are not validate questionnaires in italian on female sexual function. We decided to start the validation process to give a validated tool to italian investigators.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether lactate-containing vaginal lubricant is effective in the treatment of young breast cancer survivors with sexual dysfunction.
Hyperlipidemias are frequently associated with and are considered an important cause of erectile dysfunction in men. This association has been attributed to the impairment of blood flow through endothelium-dependent relaxation in smooth muscle cells of corpus cavernosum. Basic science and human research suggest that the vascular pathophysiology of male and female sexual dysfunction may be similar, as the first phase of the female sexual response is mediated by a combination of vasocongestive and neuro-muscular event which include increased clitoral length and diameter, as well as increased vaginal lubrication, wall engorgement and luminal diameter. The investigators have shown that women with hyperlipidemia had a higher prevalence of sexual dysfunction as compared with age-matched women without hyperlipidemia. The aim of this study was to asses the effect of anti-hyperlipidemic drugs (fenofibrate and rosuvastatin, single or in combination) on validated indices of sexual function in hyperlipidemic men and women with sexual dysfunction at baseline.
RATIONALE: Radical prostatectomy is surgery to remove the entire prostate. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill tumor cells. Sometimes the tumor may not need treatment until it progresses. In this case, active surveillance may be sufficient. It is not yet known which treatment regimen is more effective for localized prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying active surveillance to see how well it works compared with radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy in treating patients with localized prostate cancer.
