Filter by:The study was planned to evaluate the effect of LI4 acupressure application on perineal pain and postpartum comfort during episiotomy repair. Our study was designed as a randomized, controlled, single-blind and placebo design experimental study. The study is planned to be conducted in the maternity ward of Istanbul SBU Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Training and Research Hospital between May 1, 2024 and October 20, 2025. The sample of the study will consist of a total of 90 pregnant women who were hospitalized in the maternity ward and agreed to participate in the study. During the episiotomy repair, the LI4 acupuncture point on the right hand of the participants in the experimental group will be compressed 10 times for 30 seconds in succession and a 10-second break will be taken. A different point 1-1.5 cm away from the LI4 acupuncture point on the right hand of the participants in the placebo group will be pressed. No intervention will be applied to the control group.
Our primary goal will be to investigate the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound (US)-assisted caudal epidural PRF (pulsed radiofrequency)( stimulation in patients with perineal or anal pain cancer patients using (visual analog scale (VAS) scores from 0 to 10 at the baseline (pretreatment), two, four, and eight weeks; secondary outcomes will be the effects on opioid use and total opioid use in the 24 h, quality of life, patient satisfaction and opioid and intervention related side effects.
Purpose: To investigate the effect of Reiki application on postpartum episiotomy recovery and perineal pain in postpartum women who had vaginal delivery. Design and framework: The research is randomized controlled in a pre-test post-test order in a hospital in Turkey. By using Simple Random Numbers Table as the randomization method in the selection of the sample, a total of 86 puerperal women, 40 in the intervention group and 46 in the control group, were recruited. Episiotomy recovery of the intervention and control groups on the 1st day, 2nd day, 7th day, and 14th day postpartum was evaluated with the REEDA Scale, and perineal pain was evaluated with the McGill Pain Scale Short Form. Participants: Postpartum women who gave vaginal birth participated in the study. Intervention: 3 sessions of Reiki for 35-40 minutes were applied to the intervention group on the 1st, 2nd and 7th days of birth. Results: There was a significant difference between the mean REEDA Scale edema scores in the 7th day (p=0.028) and 14th day (p=0.013) follow-up of the intervention and control groups. A significant difference was found between the 3rd post-test McGill Pain Scale Short Form total pain score averages (p=0.005) and the 4th follow-up McGill Pain Scale Short Form total pain score averages (p=0.001) of the intervention and control groups.
Perineorrhaphy, sometimes referred to as perineoplasty, is a common procedure in pelvic reconstructive surgery that entails surgical repair of the perineum. Indications may include: prevention of recurrent prolapse, treatment of pain, and improved sexual function and cosmesis, as well as to treat the sensation of a "wide vagina." Differences in postoperative pain by suturing technique and standard use of suture type are not well established. Patient satisfaction can be influenced by patient perceptions regarding postoperative pain, therefore reducing postoperative pain scores remains a priority. It is unclear whether suturing technique is associated with less pain after this procedure. Based on studies on repair of obstetric lacerations, we hypothesize that a subcuticular skin closure will be associated with less postoperative perineal pain compared to interrupted transcutaneous sutures.
The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of thoracic spine manipulation on vestibule pain as determined by sensory testing (q-tip and pressure algometry) in a group of women with provoked vestibulodynia (PVD). The objective is to compare the immediate effect of manipulation and sham manipulation on the results of sensory testing of the external vulva, or vestibule.
This trial will be performed to compare the effectiveness of oral tramadol versus oral celecoxib for the management of perineal pain following episiotomy or perineal tear repair after spontaneous vaginal birth in obese women
The purpose of this study is to compare the impact of treatment with cooled magnesium sulfate and cold water-soaked pads on perineal pain and swelling following vaginal delivery. Assessment of appropriateness for each patient to take part in the study will be performed approximately 2 hours following delivery. Those patients who consent to participate in the trial will be allocated to treatment groups in a double-blinded, randomized manner. Women in the study group will receive treatment with pads soaked in a cold aqueous solution of magnesium sulfate at 33% (w/v) concentration, while those in the control group will receive treatment with pads soaked in cold water. Nurses will initiate treatment according to the group to which the patient was randomized. Said pads will be given the patients routinely 5 times a day at regular times. A physician will assess the perineal swelling according to visual (photographed) scale in which severe, moderate, light and no swelling will be defined. Measurement of swelling in centimeters (maximal length and breadth); photography, by a medical photographer or the examining doctor, of the perineal area with a centimeter ruler, before, during and after treatment (photography is dependent on patient approval and is not a precondition to participation in the trial.); and additional examination, on the above basis, will be performed regarding hemorrhoids in the event that a patient has complained of such. A nurse will assess the perineal pain and swelling on a scale ranging from 0 to 10 prior to the patient being given the pad and an hour following treatment. An additional assessment by the same method will be performed regarding hemorrhoid pain. Any analgesia administered will also be recorded. Likewise, for follow-up purposes a blood test for serum magnesium concentration will be taken before and after treatment. Period of follow-up will be 48-72 hours from childbirth.
Perineal trauma is common during vaginal birth. The discomfort this causes can interfere with a woman's recovery and early motherhood.Mothers are offered a standard treatment after childbirth, water soaked frozen peri pads (ice packs), to alleviate the discomfort. However, a Cochrane review questions the efficacy of ice packs treatment. An alternative treatment that may be more comfortable and effective for women is warm water soaked black tea bags. Medicinal use of black tea bags has been based on their astringent (shrinking or constricting) properties and have been used for various medical applications. The investigators will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of 40 pregnant mothers randomized to either intervention group (tea bags; n=20) or control group (ice packs; n=20). The goal of this pilot is to test the feasibility of a larger RCT by assessing recruitment, testing the protocol, and evaluating a proposed primary outcome objective of analgesic use during hospitalization as an indicator of pain. The investigators expect this pilot study to demonstrate feasibility for a large scale RCT to formally evaluate the efficacy of black tea bags to reduce perineal pain in this patient population.
