Active clinical trials for "Birth Injuries"

The study's purpose is to demonstrate the ability of an mHealth platform as a feasible way of sharing information in a time of restricted movement in order to inform future studies.

The aim of study was to observe changes in denervated muscles viscoelastic properties and motor performance of OBPP children. Viscoelastic properties have a significant effect on muscle performance; however have not investigated yet in denervated muscle. Hypothesized that the viscoelastic properties of denervated muscles are different than healthy side muscles and can vary depending on the age groups. 74 patients who have C5-C6 root lesion were enrolled to the study. The patients were grouped according to their age groups: 1-5 months, 6-24 months and 25-36 months. Myoton-3 myotonometric measuring device was used to measure the viscoelastic properties (tone, elasticity and stiffness) of deltoid, biceps brachii. Active Movement Scale were used to evaluate the motor function of the muscles. There were difference in muscle viscoelastic properties depending on age group. Children aged 0-5 months showed significant difference in deltoid muscle tone (p=0.0001), stiffness (p=0.0001), biceps brachii muscle tone (p=0.0001) and stiffness (p=0.0001), when compared with other groups (denervated side was lower in values). Therefore, it is in our opinion that in follow-up, clinical assessment of viscoelastic properties will be useful for monitoring denervated muscle; also treatment programs and purposes for OBPP should be varying according to the muscle properties.

There is no data regarding the risk of levator ani avulsion in women after a vaginal birth after caesarean although a possible increased risk has been suggested. The aim of the study is to describe the incidence of levator ani avulsion and compare it to primiparous women. In addition, health related quality of life will be evaluated and compared

This study investigates whether training Community Health Workers (CHW) to use a smartphone-based prenatal counseling application as a "job aid" instead of the existing paper based standard is associated with increased women's use of maternal health services in Singida region, Tanzania.

ne of the non-pharmacological methods that provide opportunities such as massage and freedom of movement with the support of the spouse / partner is the birth dance. In order to reduce the pain perceived by the woman and provide emotional support, the birth dance is started in the active phase of the first phase of the labor and continues until the end of the first phase. The woman is given the opportunity to act rhythmically with a relaxing light music with someone she prefers (spouse / partner, mother, midwife, etc.). The hands of the pregnant woman dance in the form of swinging from left to right, on the shoulder of his wife, with music; The partner is massaged by the sacrum area. It is aimed to increase the effectiveness of the method applied by adding spouse / partner support, upright posture and massage in addition to the music and body movements that dance includes, and also to provide emotional support to the woman. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of birth dance on traumatic birth perception and comfort.

Video documentation of vaginal deliveries to evaluate the impact of the support of the perineum

The main target is to determine levator ani muscle avulsion rate in vacuum delivery, comparing it to forceps delivery. As secondary goals, The aim to evaluate the difference in levator hiatus area among our study groups.
