Filter by:Rationale: A variety of surgical techniques have been described for surgical treatment of male LUTS because of BPH, which has different outcomes and may result in adverse events regarding ejaculatory function and erection, resulting in a negative impact on QOL on short- and mid-term follow-ups. Objective: To compare outcomes of BPH surgery using a conventional versus ejaculation preserving technique on QOL-related aspects with emphasis on ejaculatory and erectile function. Study design: This study is a prospective longitudinal multi-center trial to compare the ejaculatory and erectile function outcomes between conventional and ejaculation preserving BPH surgical procedures/techniques. Baseline characteristics will be recorded, as well as short and mid-term follow-up. Study population: The study population comprises patients who will undergo BPH surgery in the participating centers. Intervention: All patients will undergo BPH surgery (including but not restricted to Monopolar / Bipolar Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), photo vaporisation (PVP), Plasmakinetic (PK), Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HOLEP) or open prostatectomy (OP)). Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary endpoint is to compare the baseline to the short-term (3 months) and mid-term (6 months) ejaculation function and QoL outcomes. The secondary endpoint is the short and mid-term erection function and QoL outcomes compared to baseline. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit, and group relatedness: Patients' burden and risk associated with participating in this trial do not differ among surgical procedures or techniques used. In all groups, patients will undergo a BPH surgery and will be followed for six months at 3 visits.
Chronic Venous Disease (CVD) is a common clinical condition with a high prevalence in the western population that may affect quality of life (QoL) of affected patients for several adverse effects. Sexual dysfunction (SD) also partecipate in the QoL of people and has never specifically studied in CVD patients. The aim of this study is to study SD in CVD patients before and after treatment.
This study evaluates the frequency of sexual dysfunction in women with myofascial pain syndrome and its relationship with clinical parameters.
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and evaluate the preliminary efficacy of an intervention to address alcohol use, sexual distress, and sexual assault risk among college women with a history of sexual victimization. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) what is the feasibility of the recruitment method, research design, interventionist training methods, and delivery of the intervention; 2) does the intervention, relatively to control, the 2- and 6-month follow-up produces reductions in the quantity/frequency of alcohol use and heavy drinking, sexual distress, and sex-related drinking motives, and sexual revictimization. Participants will engage in both individual and group based intervention for alcohol use, sexual distress, and sexual assault risk. Follow-up assessments are completed at 2- and 6-months following program completion. The intervention will be compared to a general health promotion control group.
The purpose of this study is to use a device to stimulate the prostate with a goal of helping improve symptoms in men with sexual dysfunction.
Quality of sexual function in BRCA mutated women is investigated using SFQ28 questionnaire.
Infertility, defined as the inability to become pregnant after one year of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. It is estimated that around 20 % of couples suffer from infertility with prevalence rates of infertility differing substantial among countries . Sexual function in females is very complex and is affected by many factors. The prevalence of sexual dysfunction is higher in infertile patients compared to the normal population . Whether sexual dysfunction is the cause or consequence of subfertility is difficult to establish. For instance, sexual dysfunction might result in decreased coital frequency compounding the issue of subfertility due to reduced exposure. On the other hand, the psychological pressure to get pregnant stemming from sex on demand could result in a reduction in enjoyment of sex aggravating sexual dysfunction. Indeed, situational sexual dysfunction and loss of a couple's intimacy may occur as a consequence of timed intercourse where focus for coitus is no longer pleasure but conception .
A multi-center double-blinded placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial. The patients will be randomized into two groups. To investigate the efficacy of SNM to improve the key bladder diary variables compared to placebo (i.e. sham) for patients with MS having refractory neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). After first step SNM-procedure and a 3-4 weeks test period patients with more than 50% improvement in the key bladder diary variables will have the IPG implanted. After a month of optimization patients will into two groups: IPG ON or IPG OFF. Period of randomization: four months. Number anticipated to be included: 60 patients
Obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) cause significant morbidity and are well known risk factors for sexual dysfunction, urinary and anal incontinence. Postpartum and breastfeeding are relative hypoestrogenic states with risk factors for dyspareunia and vaginal atrophy. Estrogen deficiency results in changes in the vaginal epithelium and poor tissue quality which results in poor wound healing. For postmenopausal women with vaginal atrophy undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse, early administration of topical vaginal E2 therapy resulted in improved markers of tissue quality. Currently, there are limited studies to reference for proposed treatment modalities to improve sexual function and incontinence in this population. In this proposed randomized, placebo-controlled trial, women who sustain OASIS will be recruited and randomized to begin intravaginal estrogen therapy or placebo at their 2-week follow-up visit after hospital discharge. Participants will complete validated questionnaires relating to sexual function and pelvic floor disorders (urinary and anal incontinence) symptom distress and impact. The primary outcome of this study will be sexual dysfunction symptom severity measured by the female sexual function index (FSFI) at 6 months postpartum. Secondary outcomes will be urinary and anal incontinence distress and impact measured by St. Mark's score and the fecal incontinence quality of life (FIQOL) questionnaire for anal incontinence and urogenital distress inventory (UDI-6) for urinary incontinence. The objective of this study is to determine if intra-vaginal estrogen therapy improves sexual function and incontinence symptom distress and impact for postpartum women after OASIS.
The study is intended to assess the safety and efficacy of Carbon dioxide AcuPulse laser treatment in patients with sexual dysfunction. Eligible subjects will be randomized to either receive 3 laser or 3 sham treatment sessions, 4 weeks apart and 3 follow up visits 3, 6 and 12 months following the last treatment.
