Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two different treatment patterns in patients with chronic bladder pain. The main questions the investigators are seeking to answer is if bladder pain improves before and after treatment using a painful bladder scale. The participant will have 5 visits to evaluate your symptoms with questionnaires, at least one procedural visit, and must participate in physical therapy and some kind of behavioral health therapy. This study will assess participant response to a bundled-care approach to chronic bladder pain both pre-and post intervention as well as compared to a group of participants receiving typical care.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of using the Hyivy device on overall self-reported pelvic pain in people with endometriosis
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effects of a Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) programme in women diagnosed with Genito-Pelvic Pain Penetration (GPPD) Disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a GMI programme reduce pain intensity levels in women diagnosed with GPPPD? Does a GMI programme have an effect on sexual function in women diagnosed with GPPPD? Participants will undergo a GMI programme and will be tested prior to and after the intervention to assess if the programme has a significant effect with regards to pain intensity and other pain-related outcome
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of the Peer Empowered Endometriosis Pain Support (PEEPS) program in people living with endometriosis-related pelvic pain. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is PEEPS effective at decreasing pain interference and improving patient-reported quality of life outcomes? - What are the barriers and facilitators to PEEPS implementation? Participants will engage in eight weekly 2-hour sessions led by an endometriosis specialist, pain psychologist, pelvic floor physical therapist, and yoga instructor. At these sessions they will participate in peer support, education, mindfulness, and yoga.
The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that oral taking of baclofen in therapeutic dosage for 60 days is equally effective as injection of botulinum toxin type "A" in the area of trigger points of the pelvic muscles.
A large percentage of women suffer low back and pelvic pain both during and after pregnancy. There are several factors to which these complaints are attributed, even affecting their daily lives. It is identified that many of these women do not receive adequate health care, however, different physiotherapeutic interventions are recommended to alleviate these conditions, presenting moderate levels of evidence. Virtual reality (VR) is presented as a complementary and promising treatment method to physiotherapy for the improvement of fundamental variables such as perceived pain and pain avoidance. The main objective is to evaluate the efficacy of a combined VR and physiotherapy program of 4 weeks duration compared to a standard physiotherapy intervention in pregnant women with low back pain and pelvic pain for the improvement of pain avoidance, pain intensity, disability and functional level. As a secondary objective the investigators propose to investigate patient satisfaction with the VR intervention. This research will be carried out by means of a multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial in pregnant patients residing in the provinces of Seville and Malaga with a diagnosis of low back pain and pelvic pain during pregnancy. The alternative hypothesis of this research is that the implementation of a Virtual Reality program together with standard physiotherapy in pregnant patients with low back and pelvic pain presents better clinical results obtained with the current standard intervention, which may represent an opportunity to define new policies and interventions for these pathologies and their consequences.
Pelvic pain is considered a symptom of multifactorial origin among which Endometriosis is the main gynecological cause affecting 5-10% of worldwide women in their reproductive years, negatively impacting their quality of life and work efficiency. Treatment of endometriosis-associated pelvic pain is challenging and there are surgical and/or hormonal treatments available with variable endpoints. Gestrinone is a synthetic derivative of 19-nortestosterone with anti-estrogen, anti-progestin, androgenic, and weak estrogen-like action. Previous studies show that the oral treatment with Gestrinone induced an improvement in symptoms associated with endometriosis but with adverse events such as androgenization and uterine bleeding. Parenteral administration of Gestrinone could be effective to treat pain symptoms secondary to endometriosis and minimize these adverse events. This study evaluates the safety and tolerability of subdermal implant-bioabsorbable gestrinone pellet use in women with pelvic pain secondary to endometriosis after 6 months of Gestrinone pellet insertion versus placebo pellet. PK profile of the gestrinone pellet will be monitored.
It is essential to provide the community with evidenced-based care to optimize healthcare outcomes; more specifically, women in underserved communities undergoing health disparities in rehabilitation. To address this issue, a movement-based pelvic health education course was developed to assess women's knowledge and adherence of the exercises in an underserved region in Western Arkansas.The purpose of this research was to determine the effectiveness of a single movement-based pelvic health education session on general pelvic health knowledge, underactive pelvic floor, and overactive pelvic floor knowledge and adherence to performing pelvic exercises in women.
Endometriosis is a gynecologic condition that can cause severe pelvic pain and significantly impair quality of life. Endometriosis symptoms cannot always be controlled by medical therapy or surgery alone, indicating a need for the development of other adjunct treatments. Mindfulness is a non-medical treatment modality that has been used in the management of chronic pelvic pain.1-3 There is preliminary data to suggest that in-person mindfulness-based workshops can also improve endometriosis-related pain, but further research is needed.4-8 There are significant barriers to utilizing in-person mindfulness resources, the largest being cost and local availability of the workshop. The objective of this pilot project is to assess the effectiveness of virtual mindfulness-based workshops to improve quality of life and pain in patients with endometriosis. The information from the workshops will then be used to create free online resources for patients to learn mindfulness-based approaches to manage endometriosis-related pelvic pain to reduce the financial and geographical barriers to access. Better access to mindfulness-based endometriosis management will enhance the treatment options for people suffering from this condition.
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of ischemic compression and low-level laser therapy methods combined with exercise on the myofascial trigger points in women with Chronic Pelvic Pain and to determine which method is more effective. Methods: It was a parallel designed, single-blind pilot randomized clinical trial. Patients were enrolled in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (at Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa). The patients were diagnosed by a gynecologist (F.G.U and C. Y.), referred to the clinical laboratory of physiotherapy and rehabilitation to participate (by physiotherapists K.S. and E.K.M.) in the trial from September 2017 to June 2019. Twenty-eight women patients with Chronic Pelvic Pain were included into the trial. Patients were randomized into two groups. Group 1 received ischemic compression and Group 2 received low-level laser therapy twice a week for 6 weeks. Both groups received the same standard exercise program. Pain, range of motion, pelvic floor symptom severity, quality of life, satisfaction, anxiety, and depression were assessed after 6 weeks and 1-year follow up.
