Filter by:The aim of this prospective study is investigation of efficiency and safety of medical device "Magic Gyno" in accordance with the stated purpose. To assess the condition of the vaginal walls and vulva before and after laser treatment, the following methods will be used: gynecology examination, vaginal health index, clinical blood test, vaginal flora examination, vaginal pH. International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and The Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) will be used to collect feedback on changes in the participants life quality. Total up to 70 participants with pathology of pelvic organs will be involved in the study. Participants will be divided into two groups: group with genitourinary symptoms and group with vaginal relaxation symptoms, by 35 participants in each. The time intervals between tests will be the same for both groups. The main hypothesis of the study is improvement in condition of the vaginal walls after laser treatment compared with the condition before treatment.
The objective of the research is to compare two programs of exercises in postpartum woman, one based in abdominal strengthening exercises and the other based in abdominal hypopresive exercise.
In this study was aimed that acupressure applied on the BL32 point and shower application reduced the intensity of labor pain experienced by the pregnant women in the active phase of labor and increased their postpartum comfort
The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of the e-mobile health application on postpartum adaptation. The study will consist of two groups: Experimental group and control group.
The aim of this study is to identify women with postpartum sexual dysfunction and dyspareunia risk in the early period and to use the treatment and care services they need effectively. Our secondary aim is to reveal the difference in sexual life in the postpartum period between healthy pregnant women and pregnant women diagnosed with COVID-19.
Over half of women after giving birth have low back pain (LBP), however, LBP is often accepted as a normal part of postpartum. Unsolved low back pain undoubtedly affects women's physical health and may be negatively affect their psychological health. This study was aimed to investigate the efficacy of laser acupuncture therapy (LAT) in postpartum LBP. Postpartum women with LBP admitted at a postpartum care center were recruited and randomly assigned to the intervention group or the control group. The participants in the intervention group underwent 10 sessions/2 weeks of LAT and received standard obstetric care. The participants in the control group only received standard obstetric care. Primary outcome measurements were Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain and salivary cortisol values. Secondary outcome measurements were Chinese versions of the Roland and Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) version 2.1and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS).
The pilot PARTUM trial is a randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled trial. Women who are at modest risk of VTE (as defined by the inclusion criteria) will be identified during pregnancy, labor and delivery and up to 48 hours postpartum. Eligible and consenting participants will be randomly assigned to one of two study arms: aspirin 81 mg daily or placebo daily for 6 weeks.
Musical therapy is a type of therapy which is performed under a regular method by adjusting the physiological and psychological effects of musical tones and melodies in accordance with various situations. Therefore, the study was carried out as a randomized controlled trial in order to evaluate the effect of music therapy on the level of pain and anxiety in the postpartum period in women who delivered via cesarean section.
Introduction: Electrical Impedance Tomography (TIE) consists of an equipment that enables the visualization / quantification in real time of the regional distribution of ventilation and pulmonary perfusion, as well as of ventilatory mechanics. Used on the edge of the bed, it is easy to move, non-invasive, allowing a momentary or continuous assessment, guiding the conduct in a safe and precise way through the electrical impedance technology. It is important to note that, in addition to ensuring the efficacy of the patient's behavior, the TIE supports the most diverse types of studies to be performed. These include those based on the effectiveness of the use of the method in the most diverse pulmonary dysfunctions, in the adjustment of the mechanical ventilation and in the average time of hospitalization. Objective: To evaluate the pulmonary function of patients in invasive mechanical ventilation through SIT. Method: This research was carried out in compliance with the National Health Council's Guidelines for Research Involving Human Beings (466/12). The study was a prospective longitudinal clinical-experimental type in which all patients (occasional sampling) used mechanical ventilation and were hospitalized in the Adult Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Santa Casa de Misericórdia Foundation of Pará, and they developed sepsis with pulmonary repercussions; (DEHG) / HELLP Syndrome and Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and who met the inclusion criteria were evaluated and monitored with TIE to perform ventilatory therapy according to the research objectives. The research was carried out in the city of Belém, in the state of Pará, in the adult ICU of the FSCMP. As inclusion criterion, the patient should be in the FSCMP adult Intensive Care Unit (ICU), under mechanical invasive ventilation, previously authorized by the family through the Informed Consent Form to participate in the study.
Improved access to timely health care and contraception in the postpartum (PP) period is needed to reduce unintended pregnancies and help women achieve desired birth spacing. While the routine 6-week visit has historically been considered the place for women to discuss and receive contraception, many women, particularly low-income women, do not attend the postpartum visit. A novel approach to increasing receipt of PP care and contraception is the adoption of a reproductive life planning tool. Explorations of the use of a self-administered Reproductive Life Plan Tool (RLPT) by pediatricians in the context of the Well-Baby Visit (WBV) with postpartum mothers, holds great promise. The objective of this study is to determine whether use of a simple self-administered Reproductive Life Plan Tool at the 2-month WBV increases the proportion of postpartum women receiving woman's health care and contraception at 6-months PP, compared to women not exposed to such an intervention. The two specific aims of the project are: 1) To determine if introducing a self-administered Reproductive Life Planning Tool (RLPT) with postpartum mothers during the 2-month WBV will increase the proportion of women receiving a well-woman primary care health visit by 6 months postpartum; and if introducing a self-administered Reproductive Life Planning Tool (RLPT) will increase utilization rates of contraception by 6 months postpartum. 2) To assess patient-, provider-, and systems-level barriers and facilitators to integrating a self-administered Reproductive Life Planning Tool (RLPT) designed to facilitate referral of postpartum women for primary well-woman care in the context of a pediatric clinic. The investigators hypothesize that exposure to a self-administered RLPT combined with a conversation with a pediatrician during a 2-month WBV will increase use of well-woman primary health care during the postpartum period as well as receipt of contraception, by 6-months postpartum. If successful, the results of this study have great potential to inform clinical and public health practice to increase women's use of health care and contraception in the postpartum period.
