NCT ID: NCT06446973 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Evaluation Of Pain, Balance, Functional Performance and Quality of Life in Patients With Meniscus Lesions

Start date: June 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Meniscal tears are common knee injuries, affecting a wide demographic from young athletes to the elderly population, often resulting from traumatic sports-related incidents or degenerative processes associated with aging. The impact of meniscal injuries extends beyond the immediate physical damage, influencing pain perception, balance, functional performance, and ultimately, the quality of life. Despite advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, the comprehensive effects of meniscal tears on these domains remain inadequately explored, particularly regarding their correlation with objective measures of pain, balance, muscle strength and quality of life. The meniscus plays a crucial role in knee joint stability, load distribution, and shock absorption. Damage to this fibrocartilaginous structure can significantly impair knee function, leading to altered biomechanics, decreased joint stability, and increased risk of osteoarthritis. Previous research has predominantly focused on the surgical and non-surgical management of meniscal tears, with less attention to the broader implications on patients' daily lives, particularly in terms of postural stability, risk of falls, and overall physical well-being. This study aims to bridge this knowledge gap by quantitatively assessing the risk of meniscal tears on pain levels, balance, functional performance, and quality of life. By comparing objective measurements between individuals with meniscal tears and healthy controls, the investigators seek to elucidate the multifaceted impact of these injuries. Understanding these relationships is crucial for developing targeted rehabilitation strategies that address not only the mechanical aspects of the injury but also the associated functional and quality of life concerns. Our hypothesis was that individuals with meniscal lesions have worse pain, functional performance and quality of life compared to those without such injuries and also pain directly influences balance, functional performance, and quality of life in patients with meniscal injuries.

Effectiveness of Web-Based Education on Symptoms and Quality of Life in University Students With Premenstrual Syndrome

Start date: January 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Digital solutions are becoming increasingly prevalent, addressing health concerns through innovative means has become imperative. Among these concerns, Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) stands out as a significant challenge that affecting the physical and emotional well-being of women of reproductive age. Despite previous studies demonstrating the effectiveness of health education for PMS, there remains a gap in providing accessible and cost-effective evidence-based interventions. The present study seeks to address this gap by using technology to provide targeted information and support to women. For this reason, the purpose of this randomized controlled study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a web-based health education in university students with PMS. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does web-based education lower the premenstrual symptoms in university students with PMS? - Does web-based education improve the quality of life in university students with PMS? Researchers compared web-based education to a control (no special intervention) to see if intervention works to management PMS. Intervention group participants received web-based education with weekly updates about PMS (definition, symptoms, treatment etc.) and management strategies for 4 weeks.

NCT ID: NCT06382428 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

The Effects of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Applied With the Telerehabilitation Method in the Postpartum Period

Start date: December 30, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is routinely recommended to treat and prevent pelvic floor symptoms in the postpartum period. However, due to the high cost, remoteness of the location, and responsibilities of the baby, women cannot participate in PFMT whenever and wherever they want. Telerehabilitation (TR) may be an effective method to facilitate women's access to PFMT. Therefore, our study aims to compare the short and medium-term effects of PFMT applied with the TR method on pelvic floor symptoms, symptom-related quality of life and pelvic floor muscle function with supervised PFMT. This randomized controlled study was conducted at Yeditepe University Hospital Bağdat Street Polyclinic Pelvic Floor Center and online synchronous platform on women aged 18-35 and between the 6th and 8th weeks postpartum. Participants were randomly assigned to the synchronized PFMT performed with the telerehabilitation method (TR-PFMT) group and the supervised PFMT (S-PFMT) group. The same PFMT program was carried out in both groups for 45-50 minutes, 2 days a week for 8 weeks, by two physiotherapists specialized experienced in the pelvic floor. The program was carried out via a synchronous online platform (Skype™ program) in the TR-PFMT group, and as a face-to-face session in the S-PFMT group. Participants' pelvic floor symptoms were evaluated with the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20), symptom-related quality of life was evaluated with the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-7 (PFIQ-7), and pelvic floor muscle function was evaluated with superficial electromyography. Evaluations were made 3 times in total: before the exercise program, after the exercise program and at the 8th week after the exercise program (6th month postpartum).

NCT ID: NCT06370260 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Assessing the Efficacy of a Hydrogen Peroxide Gel for Oral Wound Healing and Oral Hygiene

Start date: May 2, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of a hydrogen carbamide/peroxide gel, called UNISEPT® ORAL GEL, in promoting oral wound healing, alleviating postoperative symptoms, and enhancing oral hygiene. Study participants will include individuals with any suspicious lesion in their gums or the roof of their mouth. They will undergo a procedure to remove a small piece of tissue for testing (biopsy) in order to confirm the diagnosis.This is a standardized diagnostic procedure that involves the use of a punch, which is a plastic handpiece with a cylindrical cutting blade. Subsequently, the wound heals naturally without the need for sutures. Researchers are comparing this gel with a placebo (a look-and-taste-alike substance that contains no active ingredients) to see if it is helpful with healing of wounds in the mouth and associated symptoms, improving oral hygiene. Participants randomly get the hydrogen carbamide/peroxide gel or the placebo one to use for 14 days after the biopsy. The researchers will not know which one they are providing as the gel tubes will be identical. Oral wound healing, postoperative symptoms (such as pain, eating and speech difficulties), oral hygiene (dental plaque and gingival inflammation) and quality of life are assessed during a 14-day period after the biopsy. Participants are required to visit the clinic three times, one for the initial biopsy, one at 7 days and one at 14 days after the biopsy. They are asked to fill in some questionnaires, while certain procedures (taking a photo the site of the biopsy) and assessments (like evaluating the dental plaque and gingival inflammation) take place. During the first week they, also, keep a diary of their symptoms, as instructed.
