Filter by:A pilot cohort study to preliminarily investigate the efficacy of pretreatment with letrozole 10 mg daily for three consecutive days followed by treatment with misoprostol 800 mcg vaginally for medical management of early pregnancy loss in a US population. Patients will be followed to assess efficacy of this treatment regimen, as well as additional interventions needed, side effects, adverse events, and patient acceptability.
Non-blinded prospective randomized study. 100 women diagnosed with early pregnancy loss up to 10 gestational weeks who opted for surgical management (after being offered the options of conservative management and medical treatment) will be recruited. Qualifying patients will sign an informed consent form and will be randomly assigned to the two arms of the study: 1. Surgical uterine evacuation by the traditional ultrasound-guided suction curettage (control group) 2. Surgical uterine evacuation by operative hysteroscopy using a tissue removal device (study group). The surgical procedure will be determined randomly by computer generated allocation. All surgical procedures will be performed under general anesthesia in an outpatient surgical suite. The operative time, operative blood loss and intraoperative complications will be recorded by the research team. Following the surgical procedure, the patients will be monitored and discharged home as per our department's day-surgery protocol. Immediate post-operative complications will be recorded until discharge. One week after the procedure, a telephone interview will be conducted to assess any procedure-related complications. A diagnostic hysteroscopy without anesthesia will be scheduled 6 weeks postoperatively to assess for retained products of conception and for intrauterine adhesions. The diagnostic hysteroscopy will be performed by a practitioner who will be blinded to the type of surgery performed. 6 months after the procedure, a telephone questionnaire will be conducted to assess for subsequent pregnancies.
This study aims to provide psychological support to women that experienced an Early Pregnancy Loss (when the loss occurs until the 20 weeks of gestation) using an innovative Virtual Reality prototype and compare the presence and evolution of psychological distress symptoms pre and post-intervention. The main goals of this study are: 1. Evaluate the impact of the proposed VR paradigm in women who suffered a gestational loss in the first 20 weeks of gestation, compared to a control group that follows the usual standard care; 2. Evaluate the usability, user experience, and acceptance of the proposed approach. Participants in the VR group will have an intervention program lasting four weeks, with 3 weekly sessions of 45-60 minutes, using the developed prototype.
The study assesses the accuracy of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis in detecting whole chromosomal aneuploidies from maternal plasma of patients with early, missed miscarriage.
To further develop the patient care pathway for women classified with a pregnancy of unknown location (PUL) and ectopic pregnancy (EP).
Background: The North Carolina Early Pregnancy Study (EPS) was held from 1982 to 1986. Women who were trying to get pregnant took part in the study. They collected urine samples. They kept diaries. They filled out surveys. They answered questions about their partners. They were asked about their drug use. Data about air pollution and other exposures were also collected. A follow-up study was held from 2010 to 2011. Researchers want to use the data and samples to study factors that affect reproductive success. Objective: To examine behavioral and environmental exposures and reproductive health, such as menstrual cycles, conception, pregnancy loss, and pregnancy outcomes. Eligibility: The 221 healthy women age 21-42 who were planning to get pregnant and took part in the 1982-86 North Carolina EPS at the time they stopped using all birth control. A 2010-11 follow-up included 173 of these women. Design: This study uses existing data. No new data will be collected in this study. Stored urine samples may be used. Data from surveys and other sources will be used. All of the women who gave data and samples will be included. Electronic data is held in secure databases. The data is kept on computers that are password protected. Hard-copy data are stored in locked file cabinets. The study will take place at more than one site. Data will be shared with groups outside the NIH....
This study aims to determine the effect of the Healthwise decision aid on shared decision making in women undergoing management of early pregnancy loss.
Background: - The purpose of the 1982 1986 North Carolina Early Pregnancy Study was to determine how often pregnancy loss occurs before women know they are pregnant. Women planning to become pregnant were asked to collect daily urine specimens and fill out daily diaries of their intercourse and menstrual bleeding. Researchers are interested in re-contacting this cohort to gather new information and to examine how accurately women can recall events that occurred earlier in their lives. Objectives: - To follow-up with and gather additional information from women who were involved in the Early Pregnancy Study. Eligibility: - Women who participated in the 1982 1986 North Carolina Early Pregnancy Study. Design: - Participants will receive and complete a questionnaire that includes the following topics: - Their pregnancy history. - The infant s birth, including method of delivery and induction of labor. - Early life exposures such as their own birth weight and their parents ages at their birth. - Tap water use during their attempt to conceive - General description of their behaviors during their participation in the original study, these include: physical activity, caffeine, alcohol, and soy food consumption. - Participants will return the surveys to the researchers in the stamped envelope provided with the questionnaire....
