Filter by:To collect pilot data and assess the feasibility of a trial employing a single-arm intervention to study the effects of combined self-induced therapeutic tremors plus mindfulness on symptoms of chronic pelvic pain among women diagnosed with chronic pelvic pain.
This phase II trial attempts to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Jincaopian Tablets in the treatment of subjects with chronic pelvic pain after pelvic inflammatory disease.
To refine and evaluate the feasibility of procedures for a future full-scale efficacy trial of a group-based therapeutic yoga intervention versus physical conditioning (stretching and strengthening) intervention for women with chronic pelvic pain.
Subject Population: Active duty (AD) women with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) have different demands and stressors placed on them compared with their civilian counterparts. Due to a decrease in functionality from pain, not addressing these women's untreated CPP could be detrimental in readiness missions. With limited studies on AD women with CPP or sufficient treatments available, this study seeks to compare the effects on pain, depression, and inflammation in the mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) group with a self-paced Healthy Lifestyle (HL) education control. Research Design: This randomized controlled trial will compare depression, pain, and biomarkers known for inflammation and pain in AD women with CPP pre-post an 8-week MBSR online intervention (n=55) with a self-directed Healthy Lifestyle control (n=55). Instruments: All participants will complete a demographic worksheet, Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFQ), a brief pain inventory (BPI), and a Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) pre-post intervention (MBSR or HL). Procedure: Participants will have 8-weeks of online training with voice-over slides in RedCap. The primary investigator will contact participants weekly for both groups and review diaries to help monitor fidelity and guide progress. Blood will be drawn for biomarkers for inflammation and pain and questionnaires will be completed pre-post intervention.
Research objective To compare effectiveness of oral Misoprostal for cervical priming in premenopausal women underwent to diagnostic hysteroscopy Research hypothesis: Null hypothesis Effectiveness of oral misoprostal for cervical priming in premenopausal women underwent to diagnostic hysteroscopy is not different from placebo Alternative hypothesis: : Oral Misoprostal for cervical priming in Premenopausal women underwent to diagnostic hysteroscopy is better than placebo
Chronic pelvic pain is a serious health condition with an estimated prevalence of 15% women worldwide.Treatment is a challenge given the different pain generators described. It is important to develop self-management interventions to reduce the frustration associated with its management.
The presence of trigger points in the pelvic floor musculature (PFM) is a frequent condition in individuals with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) and is associated with higher levels of pain, disability and functional decline. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of two interventions: pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training with biofeedback and PFM training with the addition of trigger point dry needling applied over(Lumbar square, psoas, external obliques, gluteus medius, piriformis and adductors) on pain and quality of life of women with CPP.
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in women is common, painful and disabling and puts much strain on women's lives and the (National Health Service) NHS. CPP may be related to internal organs, the nervous system or psychological factors and is often difficult to treat. Surgery and drugs have risks and side effects, are expensive and do not help all patients. Psychological treatments have potential to improve CPP but are not consistently available. Mindfulness meditation teaches people to accept their sensations and emotions in the present moment. This can help to accept pain better, which enables patients to focus on daily activities and improve their quality of life. It has been shown to help in headache, back pain and depression. Usually mindfulness meditation is taught by attending courses for 8 weeks. The investigators want to find out in a full-scale trial if mindfulness meditation, taught by using a smartphone app, can help CPP patients. In preparation for this full-scale study the investigators will conduct the MEMPHIS study to answer the following questions: - How many patients are willing to participate? - How often they use the app? - Reasons for not wanting to participate/not using the app - - Which health questionnaires are the most useful ones? - How many patients will be required for the full-scale trial? Patients will receive the usual treatment and be divided into three groups - using a 60-day mindfulness meditation app, -- using comparison app with progressive muscle relaxation but no meditation - no app Patients will complete health questionnaires, may be asked to comment in a focus group and record pain, medication changes, surgery and emergency medical visits
One of the main symptoms of endometriosis is pain, but his pathogenesis is not fully understood. The detection of mast cells in the endometriosis lesions supports the hypothesis that mast cell degranulation may contribute to development of pain and hyperalgesia. N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) are a class of endogenous compounds that regulate inflammation and pain, controlling mast-cell activation. The aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy of palmitoylethanolamide-polydatin combination on pain relief in symptomatic patients with endometriosis.
Obturator externus (OE) muscle has the possibility as a pain generator, considering its anatomical and functional aspects, but this muscle as a possible target for therapeutic intervention is currently understudied in pain practice.
