Filter by:This is a phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of elagolix tablets versus placebo in premenopausal women with moderate or severe endometriosis-associated pain.
Endometriosis is defined as the presence and development of hormone-dependent endometrial tissue comprising both glands and stroma outside the endometrium and myometrium. It affects 10-15% of women of childbearing age; of these, 25% are diagnosed following a consultation for infertility, and 25% following a consultation for pelvic pain. This disease has a strong functional (pain and infertility) and organic impact, its numerous symptoms can have a considerable effect on quality of life. Individualized analgesic management with multidisciplinary care (medical, surgical and psychological) can improve quality of life for women with endometriosis, but current treatment remains insufficient. Korean manupuncture is a complementary treatment technique that does not interact with current treatments. It's a holistic discipline that draws up a highly detailed map of the body's correspondence on the hand. Each body zone corresponds to a zone on the hand. The aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of Korean manupuncture on endometriosis-related pain. Patients will be randomly assigned to 2 groups, 30 to the "Korean manupuncture" group and 30 to the "placebo/control" group. Patients will be blinded to their assigned group.
This is an interventional with minimal risks and constraints (RIPH 2 in France), prospective, longitudinal, non-randomized, multicenter study. The present study will allow us to evaluate multiple factors assessing the Endotest® Diagnostic accuracy and its possible limitations. To characterize the Endotest® Diagnostic, the following parameters will be evaluated: - Repeatability: the verification of the invariability of its results without condition changes, - Circadian cycle: whether the circadian cycle affects the determination of the signature, - Intermediate fidelity: the verification of the invariability of its results with an operator change, - Interferences: the impact of different interferences on its results, - Stability: the possible modification of its results depending on the samples conditions of storage. The acts and procedures performed in this research will be divided into three visits: - Inclusion visit: performance of 4 Endotest® Diagnostics (3 at the visit and 1 at home) by the 60 included subjects, - "Circadian cycle" visit: performance of 17 Endotest® Diagnostics (14 at the visit and 3 post-visit at home) by 6 subjects selected after evaluation of the results of the inclusion visit, - "Repeatability-intermediate fidelity-interference-stability" visit: realization of 17 Endotest® Diagnostic by 10 or 16 subjects, depending on the results of the impact of the circadian cycle on the saliva signature. These subjects will be selected according to the results of the inclusion visit, excluding those who participated in the circadian cycle visit.
Psychological distress (anxiety and depression) is common in and experienced differently by people living with long-term health conditions (LTCs). Being able to measure whether psychological distress is related to living with a LTC would allow researchers and clinicians to provide interventions specifically tailored to the challenges of living with a LTC and therefore provide the most appropriate support for these patients. Such a measure would also be useful in research to identify the presence of illness-related distress in different patient groups. This project will therefore create a new measure of illness-related distress that has applications for both research and clinical practice. This will involve the psychometric validation of the new illness-related distress measure to test how valid and reliable the measure is. The aim of the project is to provide initial validation of the Illness Related Distress Scale in a community sample, recruited through online platforms. The objective of the study is to gather initial validity and reliability data for the scale.
This observational study aims at establishing the proportion of patients suffering from endometriosis and for whom an Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) diagnosis is established. The study participation will be offered to endometriosis patients displaying symptoms that may suggest an underlying OSAHS. OSAHS diagnosis will be made according to standard of care practice and patients will be followed up to 12 months after initiating the OSAHS treatment to fill in questionnaires assessing the impact of OSAHS treatment on various endometriosis-related symptoms
The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the learning curve of TVUS (transvaginal ultrasound) for the visualization of sacral nerve roots and sacral plexus on gynecological transvaginal ultrasound. The investigators aim to evaluate to evaluate the number needed to gain competence or to review the level of competence.
The aim of this study is to show the superiority of the new unidirectional barbed suture (SYMMCORA® mid-term, unidirectional) to conventional suture material in terms of time to perform the vaginal cuff closure during gynecologic surgeries without an increase in the complication rate. Secondly, the superiority of SYMMCORA®, mid-term unidirectional compared to the V-Loc®, unidirectional will be assessed regarding the mean time to close the vaginal cuff. The study will be performed in routine clinical setting, the only difference will be the randomization into two different suture groups. Both suture materials which will be applied to approximate the vaginal cuff are approved and carrying the CE-marks. Additionally, both sutures will be applied in their intended use. Neither additional invasive measures nor additional burden in regard to the patient will be performed.
The primary aim of the project is to analyse gene expression in individual types of ectopic endometrium (ovarian endometriosis, peritoneal endometriosis, deep infiltrating endometriosis) and compare it with gene expression in eutopic endometrium. The analysis focuses on the identification of genes with significantly increased expression in each type of ectopic endometrium and comparison of their expression with the degree of disease, ovarian reserve and clinical manifestations of the disease (pain, infertility).
This is a single-center, prospective diagnostic-accuracy study. All women who will undergo surgery for DE after preoperative ultrasound for six consecutive months will be included. Anamnestic and preoperative (physical objective and ultrasonographic) data of these patients will be collected. Surgical and pathological data will be analyzed to confirm the presence of parametrial DE.
Quercetin is a polyphenol compound that possesses anti-inflammatory properties and can be found in various food sources like apples, berries, cabbage, and onions. In Park et al.'s study, it was discovered that quercetin led to a significant decrease in the proliferation of endometriosis cells. Furthermore, quercetin also triggered apoptosis in endometriosis cells in vitro and reduced the size of endometriosis lesions in vivo. Nevertheless, as of now, there have been no studies conducted in Iran or worldwide that explore the effects of quercetin supplementation on individuals with endometriosis. Hence, the aim of this study is to investigate the impact of quercetin supplementation on factors such as glycemic status, lipid profile, oxidative stress, inflammation, growth factors, adiponectin, sex hormones, and anthropometric indicators in women suffering from endometriosis.
