Filter by:This study is designed to determine whether improving the vaginal microbiome in women with localized provoked vulvodynia (LPV) may help improve pain better than routine care alone. The study randomizes women with LPV to either routine care or routine care plus a vaginal hygiene system designed to improve the vaginal microbiome. Women will be assessed for vaginal microbiome, vaginal pH, and pain before enrollment and after 6 weeks, and after 3 months. Women will also have pain assessed 2 weeks after enrollment without assessing vaginal microbiome and pH.
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of mixed methylene blue compound Injection for the treatment of nonneoplastic epithelial disorders（NNEDS） of vulva. NNEDS of skin and mucosa of vulva refer to a group of chronic diseases including squamous hyperplasia and lichen sclerosus, which mainly cause vulvar itching and hypopigmentation. Usually the itching is severe may influence social activities and sleep. In addition, NNEDS cause scarring of the vulva which may cause significant sexual dysfunction or pain. The reasons for NNEDs are not clear and the methods of treatment are diverse. The current treatments are primarily local drug (e.g. steroid, calcineurin inhibitors, immunosuppressive agents ), surgical treatments, laser or photodynamic therapy, and the "gold standard" treatment for lichen sclerosus is potent steroids creams. However, all the treatments are not good enough, and the diseases often recur and severely affect women's quality of life. So the investigators reviewed plenty of literatures, and found some authors used single intradermal 1% methylene blue injection for intractable idiopathic pruritus ani and the effect was good. As a preliminary experiment, the investigators used intradermal mixed methylene blue compound injection for a NNEDs patient in the year of 2012, the itching of the patient stopped immediately and the color of the vulva recovered 6 months later. The patient keeps healthy till now. And from then on, the investigators designed this study and to verify the effect and complications of intradermal mixed methylene blue compound injection for the treatment of NNEDS. So far, there is no similar study reported internationally.
To evaluate the use of topical application of Nifedipine cream for the treatment of Provoked localized Vulvodynia (vestibulitis, vestibulodynia).
The Vulvar Vestibulitis Clinical Trial (VVCT) a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blinded clinical trial. We will study the clinical efficacy of four medical treatments for vulvar vestibulitis: topical lidocaine, oral desipramine, combined lidocaine and desipramine, and placebo cream and capsules. Desipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant commonly used by clinicians for treatment of several chronic pain conditions that demonstrates an optimal side effect profile compared to other tricyclic antidepressants. Topical lidocaine has also been found to be beneficial for vulvar vestibulitis treatment in small studies. It is hypothesized that the combined use of oral desipramine and topical lidocaine will be more therapeutically effective than either one by itself and better than placebo.
OBJECTIVES: I. Estimate the optimal safe dose of intravesical capsaicin in patients with interstitial cystitis. II. Evaluate the efficacy of 0.025% topical capsaicin in relieving chronic burning pain in patients with vulvar vestibulitis. III. Evaluate the effect of capsaicin on type C nerve fibers in bladder mucosa and vulvar skin. IV. Evaluate the effect of C fiber depletion on urinary levels of histamine and prostaglandin.
