Filter by:Interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) causes severe bladder pain and extensive disability in a large group of women int he prime of their productive lives. Extensive study of the bladder itself has uncovered many abnormalities, but the investigators do not know if these are the cause or result of the disorder. None of these has led to any real long-term progress in treatment, so far. The investigators have found that other autonomic disorders often occur in both the patients themselves and in the family members of patients with IC/PBS. The investigators therefore propose to determine whether the main abnormality in IC/PBS actually lies in the autonomic nervous system, rather than the bladder. The investigators will do this through careful measurements of autonomic function and sensation in patients who have IC/PBS, both at rest, and under controlled psychological stress. The investigators will compare their measurements to patients with myofascial pelvic pain, to know which abnormalities are truly linked to IC/PBS, and which simply reflect the presence of pelvic pain.
The recommended entry angle for superior hypogastric plexus block is different among references, and there is a need for suggesting a more accurate entry angle for this procedure. The investigators are trying to evaluate the entry angle for superior hypogastric plexus block by measuring these angle on the computed tomography image and apply these angle to the real patients.
The aim of this study is to identify evaluate the effectiveness of stretching exercises of Hatha Yoga method in pregnant women with back pain and posterior pelvic City Paulínia. -There will be a randomized clinical trial with 60 pregnant women with these symptoms. They will be randomly divided into 2 groups. The group A will perform the exercises of Hatha Yoga for ten weeks, once a week group B postural follow the guidelines recommended for the treatment of these pains, for ten weeks. Will be used as a technique for evaluating the Visual Analogue Scale to measure pain intensity and confirmation tests of the lumbar and posterior pelvic pain in order to differentiate them. A descriptive statistical analysis of univariate and bivariate distributions will be made through frequency and graphical representation. The association between the variables will be tested by statistical tests: [chi-square (X ²)], Fisher's exact test, Student's t test or Mann-Whitney, [Student's t test to compare means], ANOVA for the analysis of effects between the groups. [The significance level is predetermined to 5%]. The data will be analyzed in EPI-INFO 2000. SAS 9.0 and from the database created .
Background: - Some women with endometriosis have chronic pelvic pain. This pain may be caused by spasms of the pelvic floor muscles. These spasms can be detected by an examination. Studies suggest that botulinum toxin can help treat problems caused by muscle spasms. Researchers want to see if botulinum toxin injections into the pelvic floor muscles can decrease pain and spasms in women with pelvic pain. Objectives: - To see if botulinum toxin can relieve pain from pelvic floor spasm in women with pelvic pain. Eligibility: - Women between 18 and 50 years of age with pain associated with pelvic muscle spasm and endometriosis. Pain must be persistent (lasting for at least 3 months). Design: - Participants will keep a pain diary and record their pain medication use for a month before the first visit. - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Participants will also answer questions about their pain levels and quality of life. - Participants will receive either botulinum toxin or a placebo (salt water) injection. The injection will be given into the pelvic floor muscles through the vaginal wall. Participants will take a muscle relaxant like Valium and have anesthetic cream put on the vaginal wall before the injection. - After the injection, participants will keep a pain diary for another month. - At a 1-month followup visit, participants will answer questions about their pain. If the pain has not improved, all participants may have a botulinum toxin injection (no placebo) into the pelvic floor muscles as before. - Participants will have followup visits for up to a year after the initial 1-month followup visit.
This is an observational, exploratory study designed to collect (record) and analyze normal and abnormal sound data from the human bladder during surgery using a novel sensor-based catheter system (Electronic Catheter Stethoscope) and to develop algorithms to detect changes of baseline bladder and ureteral function. The Electronic Catheter Stethoscope device will measure acoustic and pressure data within the bladder. The measurements will be used to detect any leakage from the bladder and/or changes in baseline ureteral flow by correlation of sound data with surgical data reported by the surgeon. These data will be used to develop algorithms to detect changes of baseline bladder and ureteral function. The algorithms will be tested in future clinical trials.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of an intracervical lidocaine injection versus topical lidocaine gel on the pain experienced by patients undergoing tenaculum application to the cervix during office gynecologic procedures. This study will also evaluate how satisfied women are with the method of pain control used. The researchers hypothesize that: 1. There is less pain perceived by patients undergoing placement of a tenaculum on the cervix when a lidocaine injection is used compared to a topical lidocaine gel. 2. Patients are more satisfied with pain control during the overall experience of undergoing tenaculum placement on the cervix when a lidocaine injection is used compared to a topical lidocaine gel.
In this study several doses of ASP3652, given orally for 12 weeks, will be compared with placebo in the treatment of patients with Chronic abacterial Prostatitis / Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome.
The Brigham and Women's Pain Management Center is conducting a research study for chronic pelvic pain patients due to endometriosis. The study will assess the effect of electro-stimulation for the treatment of Chronic Pelvic Pain. You may be eligible if you have chronic pelvic pain due to endometriosis, are between the ages of 21- 64, and not taking opioid medication (such as morphine or oxycodone). The study will require two visits, each lasting about 2 hours. The study takes place at the Brigham & Women's Pain Management Center, 850 Boylston St., Chestnut Hill. Please contact Chrissie Cahalan at 617-732-9014 or ccahalan1@partners.org if interested.
The purpose of this study is to compare different skin closure materials for the transobturator suburethral sling procedure. Currently the investigators are using monocryl suture material as the standard for skin closure. This material has anecdotally show to be very irritating to patients who have had this type of surgery. Our study will compare the monocryl suture material with vicryl (polyglactin 910) and dermabond (2-octyl cyanoacrylate) skin glue. The investigators believe that vicryl suture material will be superior in comfort when compared to monocryl and dermabond for this type of procedure.
Increasing accessibility of long-acting reversible contraceptive methods, like intrauterine devices (IUDs), is an important strategy to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy. Unfortunately, fear of IUD insertion in women who have not had children is common among health care providers and women alike, and this limits IUD use. To increase acceptance of this highly effective contraceptive, there is need to investigate novel, low cost, easily applied and accessible techniques to improve the insertion experience. This is a pilot study to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of nitroprusside gel applied intracervically as an intervention to improve the IUD insertion experience for both patient and provider.
