Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of vulvar and intravaginal application of PBM compared to the sham group on pain and sexual function in women with dyspareunia . The main question [s] it aims to answer are: - What are the effects of vulvar and intravaginal application of photobiomodulation (PBM) compared to the sham group on the sexual function of women with dyspareunia in the immediate post-intervention moments and in follow-ups of 15, 30, 90 and 180 days? - What are the effects of vulvar and intravaginal application of photobiomodulation (PBM) compared to the sham group on pain in women with dyspareunia in the immediate post-intervention moments and in follow-ups of 15, 30, 90 and 180 days? Participants will The GPBM photobiomodulation group will receive, during the 8 days of intervention, application in 8 points (4 red and 4 infrared) in the vulvar region and 8 points (4 red and 4 infrared) in the intravaginal pelvic floor region of PBM while the GS group will receive simulation application of PBM in the same number of vulvar and intravaginal points, in the same places where it was applied in the GPBM group. To see if 8 applications of photobiomodulation are really capable of reducing pain and improving sexual function in women with dyspareunia
Superficial dyspareunia are persistent or recurrent pains during an attempt at sexual intercourse or during effective penetration. They affect between 3 to 18% of women and are a source of physical and psychological suffering. Some health professionals (gynecologists, general practitioners, midwives) are confronted daily with these complaints. The approach of sexuality remains a complex subject even within the medical field. As a result, communication between women and health professionals can be difficult, leading to delayed diagnosis or inadequate management.
Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) is a recent innovation in minimally invasive surgery which has already proven its non-inferiority to conventional abdominal laparoscopy (CAL) for hysterectomy in terms of efficiency and safety. However, the investigators note a lack of medical literature and no specific randomized controlled trial (RCT) assessing women's sexual function after vNOTES for benign adnexal surgery. The aim of this RCT is to confirm the non-inferiority of the vNOTES approach for benign adnexal pathology compared to CAL on women's sexual function. Secondary outcomes will evaluate vNOTES's efficiency, morbidity and postoperative complications compared to CAL for benign adnexal surgery. The relationship between adnexal mass morcellation/aspiration and the quality of the histological analysis on surgical specimens will also be evaluated as secondary outcome.
Regulation of sexual functions without hormonal support in order to correct the sexual dysfunctions in women with the estrogen hormone lost in the menopausal process. Recently, the reaction to hormonal treatments and the fact that patients with a family history of breast cancer or gynecological cancer cannot receive hormonal treatment have been the reason for applying to alternative treatments. Lubricant treatments are among the treatments that patients have compliance problems in the long term and avoid due to the difficulty of application. Correcting female sexual dysfunctions and post-menopausal women's right to want to feel sexually healthy are the most natural rights. Because sexual dysfunctions cause physiological and psychological problems in women. Thanks to the laser treatment, it is aimed to eliminate the atrophy and sexual dysfunctions of women, thanks to the application of approximately 2 sessions without the need for long-term medication.
All patients undergoing surgery due to suspected endometriosis in a previously selected 3-month period within the study period (between 12/2022 and 12/24) (each participating center will define the particular 3 months in question) will be asked to participate in this study. Upon inclusion, patients will be asked to fill out questionnaires regarding endometriosis-associated symptoms as well as a detailed patient history. Furthermore, patients will be asked to fill out 2 standardized questionnaires, one regarding quality of life (Endometriosis-Health Profile-30) and one regarding sexual function (Female Sexual Function Index). Six and 12 months after surgery, patients will again be asked to fill out these two standardized questionnaires as well as a questionnaire regarding postsurgical therapy and endometriosis-associated symptoms. The surgeon will be asked to fill out a form regarding the surgical procedure and possible surgical complications. The primary endpoints of this multicenter observational study are to prospectively examine: 1. if the individual symptoms correlate with the individual compartments of the surgical #ENZIAN Endometriosis classification 2. if the surgical intervention has an effect on the quality of life in relation to the individual #ENZIAN compartments.
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) occurs in approximately 50% of menopausal women but is both underrecognized and undertreated despite numerous treatment options. Vaginal dryness, irritation, dyspareunia, urinary frequency, and urinary urgency are some of the more common symptoms that can have a negative effect on women's lives and relationships. In particular, dyspareunia is localized in the vestibule with specific trophic changes more evident than those localized in vagina. The CO2 fractionated laser, has also been found to be useful in several studies for the treatment of vaginal atrophy. In this open comparative study, 70 female menopausal subjects aged between 40 and 70 years old at inclusion, having symptoms of GSM (Vaginal dryness, burning/pain, dyspareunia,dysuria), have given her informed consent and meet all the eligibility criteria, will be enrolled. The two groups of comparison will be 35 subjects treated into vagina and vestibule, versus 35 subjects treated into vagina, only. Subjects will come to a total of 6 visits over a period of 3 months. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the performance and safety of Pixel CO2-Alma Fractionated Laser comparing its administration into vagina and vestibule versus into vagina, only. The evaluated outcomes are vaginal dryness, burning/pain, dyspareunia, sensitivity to touch at Swab test, Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and Vulval Pain Functional Questionnaire (VQ) at day 84 and 120 and the safety during all the study. The secondary objectives are the evaluation of vaginal and vestibular trophism, measured by Vaginal Health Index (VHI) and Vestibular Health Score (VHS) at the FU visits.
Endometriosis is a disease that affects different areas of individual functioning, including the area of sexual life. Women with endometriosis have an impairment of desire and sexual arousal, orgasmic capacity reducted because of the pain and deep dyspareunia. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of surgery on dyspareunia in women with endometriosis, taking into account other variables involved in determining dyspareunia: the quality of the couple relationship, anxiety and depression, body image, coping strategies and resilience.
