Filter by:85 percent of women of reproductive age experience consistent period cramps/menstrual pain, and 60% indicate that they do not use painkillers to relieve menstrual symptoms; there is a need for natural and non-medicative supplements to dysmenorrhea. The purpose of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of 'Cramp Bites'--classified by a mixture of natural ingredients researched to help with period pain--on women suffering from primary dysmenorrhea: this will be done through providing participants with the snack and surveying them on how it changes their period symptoms.
The aim of this study is to contribute to the determination of the relationship between exercise and menstrual symptoms and to create an alternative for non-pharmacological coping methods with menstrual symptoms.
Of the 1.8 million females with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in the US, over half of those who are premenopausal suffer from cyclical menstrual-related IBD symptoms, regardless of how well their disease is controlled. Despite the significant impact that cyclical IBD symptoms, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fatigue have on quality of life, evidence about how to alleviate these symptoms is lacking. In other chronic conditions which are hormonally influenced, such as epilepsy, hormonal contraception may be used to favorably impact disease-related symptoms associated with menses and improve quality of life. In our previous cross-sectional study, 47% of the levonorgestrel intrauterine device users and 19% of combination oral contraceptive users reported improvement in their cyclical IBD symptom. All hormonal methods may plausibly improve symptoms, but prospective, rigorous data evaluating their efficacy for this purpose are lacking. In order to design a future comparative effectiveness trial on the effect of hormonal contraceptive methods on menstrual-related IBD symptoms, we propose this pilot prospective cohort study of 200 females with IBD: 100 naturally cycling and 100 hormonal contraception users. We will gain essential knowledge on IBD-specific influences on contraceptive method selection, willingness to be randomized to methods, the ability of IBD patient reported outcome (PRO) instruments to differentiate between non-menstrual and menstrual-related IBD symptoms, and assess the potential role of inflammatory markers as outcome measures in future trials. We will recruit participants from the University of Utah IBD Center and clinics, other Utah gastroenterology providers, and through social media ads. Total study commitment will be ~12 weeks. Study activities will include daily and weekly text message surveys, as well as blood draws and fecal samples for inflammatory markers in a subset of participants which are commonly used for IBD management. Our aims include: (1) To identify preferences and reasons for contraceptive method selection (or non-use) and willingness to participate in a randomized controlled trial, to inform feasibility of a future trial, (2) To obtain estimates of means and standard deviations for the validated Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis PRO Instruments by menstrual timing in naturally-cycling participants and between bleeding and non-bleeding days in hormonal contraception users, and (3) To assess correlation between inflammatory marker changes (fecal calprotectin & high sensitivity C-reactive protein), menstrual timing or bleeding/non-bleeding days, and IBD PRO responses, in a subset of 30% of Aim 1 participants. This pilot will inform a future trial design to define non-contraceptive benefits of hormonal contraception on cyclical IBD symptoms. This line of inquiry will allow for an adjuvant approach for IBD symptom management that is sex-specific and addresses both concerns for hormonal triggers and the need for highly-effective contraception for those who desire it.
Women with endometriosis in our country and around the world face various difficulties during their menstrual periods in reproductive age. While some of these difficulties are caused by the environment, some of them are due to the insufficient development of personal consciousness. In our study, we aim to reveal the perspective of individuals and society on the menstrual period. Our primary aim in our study is to understand what kind of problems are experienced in different regions of our country during the menstrual period for women and how they are spent. Secondly, the effect of this period on women's quality of life will be examined.
There is little information about the menstrual health and genital hygiene behaviors of young women with CP. The most important reason for this is that women with CP did not meet the inclusion criteria and were excluded from the study. This may lead to a knowledge gap that limits the design of approaches that can help women and families with CP. Therefore, this study was planned to determine menstrual health and genital hygiene behaviors in women with CP.
Coronavac, one of the vaccines developed within the scope of combating the COVID-19 pandemic that has surrounded the world for a year, started to be applied in the first healthcare workers in our country. In this important step taken to end the pandemic, information on vaccines is still limited. Most vaccines, including the Coronavac vaccine, are applied with approval for emergency use before phase 3 studies are fully completed. While investigating the effect of the vaccine on the virus, possible side effects should also be considered. In this context, it is not known whether the vaccine has an effect on the menstrual cycle, especially of women of reproductive age. Our primary aim in our study is to evaluate the effect of the vaccine on the menstrual cycle and if the vaccine has any effect on the menstrual cycle, what kind of changes this effect causes.
The effects of COVID-19 on body systems and functions are still being investigated. ACE 2, which plays a key role in the entry of the COVID-19 virus into the cell, is also highly expressed in the ovary, uterus, vagina, and placenta in the female genital system, which can also pose a risk to female reproductive health. The aim of this study is to evaluate menstrual cycle-induced pain, fatigue and anxiety in women who suffered from COVID-19.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of training given to obese female students in mid-adolescence period for improving nutrition, physical activity, and menstrual symptoms on the improvement of their healthy lifestyle behaviors and menstrual symptoms. The research sample consisted of 128 obese female students divided into groups as intervention and control. In this randomized controlled trial, pretest-posttest control group and random process were used. In the first stage of the study, total of 12 hours of training, 120 minutes for each course per week, was provided. In the second stage, 120 minutes of reinforcement training were given every month for three months. The study lasted 16 weeks totally. Personal Information Form, Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale II (HLBS-II), Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire (MSQ) and Student Follow-up Schedule were used as data collection tools. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS Statistics 23 Version. Hypotheses were (i) there was a difference between the total HLBS-II and MSQ scores of the students before and after the training and (ii) there was a correlation between the scales.
PCOS patients were treated every day, with one sachet containing 2000 mg myo-inositol, 500 mg L-tyrosine, 40 mcg chromium picolinate, 55 mcg selenium, 200 mcg folic acid. All patients underwent, before starting the therapy, after 3 months and 6 months, hormonal evaluation , hirsutism scoring and ovulation assesment. Most of them during the treatment improved their symptoms.
Most Implanon users experience a reduction in the frequency and volume of menstrual bleeding, but a substantial minority experience unpredictable and frequent and/or prolonged episodes of bleeding. This is a double blind, placebo controlled, randomised study with an additional randomised non-blinded arm. Two hundred women between the ages of 18-45 years, who are Implanon users with prolonged or frequent breakthrough bleeding (WHO definition) will be recruited and randomised into 4 equal-sized treatment groups of 50 women assigned to Marvelon 7 days or 21 days, NuvaRing 21 days or placebo. Recruited subjects will maintain a daily menstrual diary chart for a minimum of 90 days prior to randomisation, and will be enrolled into the treatment phase provided that they have met one of the World Health Organization criteria for prolonged or frequent bleeding Following the initial 90 day record, eligible women will begin designated treatment on day 1 of the next episode of bleeding or spotting. Analysis of the subsequent menstrual pattern will begin from day 1 of that bleeding/spotting episode and will continue through 90 days.
