Active clinical trials for "Candidiasis, Vulvovaginal"

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common infection among women that is associated with considerable morbidity and health-care cost. 75% of women will suffer of Candida infection for at least one time in their life. 20% of women who suffer from VVC will have ≥ 4 episodes of VVC during the one year prior to the survey. 80% of these VVC are caused by Candida albicans. Current treatments, based on imidazoles, face many failures or recurrences. The type of probiotic Lactobacillus may participate in the prevention of recurrent vulvo-vaginitis in reducing the proliferation of intestinal Candida albicans, its adherence to the vaginal walls, the potentiation of its propagation. The primary objective of this study was to investigate if our supplementary treatment could improve the initial cure rate after vaginal econazole therapy.

This study uses MRI to detect the spread of the Miconozole Nitrate OVULE within the vagina. The effect of moderate amounts of physical activity on the spread will be evaluated, and compared to no physical activity.

Purpose: In the study, it was aimed to determine the effect of genital hygiene training provided to women living in rural areas with a vulvovaginal candidiasis history on genital hygiene behaviors and self-care agency. Material and methods: This study with a randomized controlled design was conducted with the participation of women who were registered to Family Health Centers located in two villages in the rural areas in the east of Turkey and who had a history of vulvovaginal candidiasis within the last year. The study sample consisted of 114 women in total, 57 of whom were in the intervention group and 57 were in the control group. The women in the intervention group were provided with genital hygiene behaviors training. The study data were collected Identifying Information Form, Genital Hygiene Behavior Inventory (GHBI), and Self-Care Agency Scale (SCAS).

The primary objective of this study is to study the vaginal flora colonisation equivalence between the tablet and capsule dosage forms of a treatment with Lcr Regenerans® between D0 (V1) and Dend of treatment.

Background: Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) is a common obstinate vulvovaginal inflammation in gynecology. At present, the pathogenesis of RVVC is not clear. In recent years, it is emphasized that the changes of vaginal microecological environment play an important role in the occurrence and development of RVVC. The treatment of RVVC can be divided into intensive treatment and consolidation treatment. Currently, local antifungal treatment is the main treatment regimen. While it is difficult and had an insufficient effect on prevention from recurrence of clinical signs and the improvement of vaginal mycological status in long term. Besides, there is no mature consolidation treatment regimen at home and abroad. Through the current application of the fractional CO2 laser in the treatment of atrophic vaginitis, it is confirmed that local irradiation of the fractional CO2 laser on vulva and vagina can regenerate and repair mucosal tissue, enhance the function of vaginal epithelial cells, gradually restore the normal pH value of vagina, improve vaginal microecological environment, restore the proportion of vaginal flora and reduce the recurrence rate of RVVC. This trial aims to explore the efficacy of two consolidation therapy schemes: the fractional CO2 laser and traditional antifungal drugs. Methods/Design: The ongoing study will include 200 RVVC patients who voluntarily joined the study and signed the informed consent form the Second Affiliated Hospital of WMU during December 2019 to March 2022. After patients were cured by transvaginal local drug intensive therapy, participants will be randomly divided into control group (n = 100) and experimental group (n = 100). The control group continue to receive a monthly course of vaginal local drug consolidation therapy for 6 months, while the experimental group will be given monthly local vaginal CO2 laser consolidation therapy for 3 months. The vaginal secretions samples of RVVC patients will be collected before intensive therapy, after intensive therapy and at the end of consolidation therapy, and the species abundance and structure of vaginal flora were detected and analyzed. In the same period, 5 healthy women of childbearing age were recruited as the normal control group and the volunteers do not take any treatment. The vaginal secretions samples of 5 volunteers will be collected when signing the informed consent to detect and analyze the species abundance and structure of vaginal flora. The patients with RVVC will be followed up for 3, 6 and 12 months after the treatment and vaginal secretions samples will be collected for vaginal flora structure detection to compare the vaginal microecological environment. For recurrent patients, the investigators will carry out targeted treatment, and again collect vaginal secretions sample to detect and analyze the species abundance and structure of vaginal flora. Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of fractional CO2 laser consolidation therapy and traditional antifungal consolidation therapy for RVVC, and assess the role of fractional CO2 laser in changes of vaginal microecological environment and recurrence rate of VVC after consolidation treatment.

The present study aims to evaluate the safety of two mucoadhesive gels containing a propolis standardized extract identified as EPP-AF, with 1 and 2% of propolis. The efficacy studies with both propolis gels will be performed in comparison with clotrimazole cream in patients presenting vulvovaginal candidiasis.

Vaginal Candidiasis is an infection caused by a yeast normally lives inside the body . Sometimes Candida can multiply and cause an infection if the environment inside the vagina changes in a way that encourages its growth. Candidiasis in the vagina is commonly called a "vaginal yeast infection." Risk factor use of intra uterine devices , pregnancy ,use hormonal contraceptives ,have diabetes , immune compromised taken antibiotics Diagnosis cause itching or soreness Pain during sexual intercourse Pain or discomfort when urinating and abnormal vaginal discharge Although most vaginal candidiasis is mild, some women can develop severe infections involving redness, swelling, and cracks in the wall of the vagina

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of SHR8008 vs. Fluconazole In Subjects with Acute vulvovaginal Candidiasis

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) caused by Candida species, predominantly C. Albicans is considered one of the most common infections of the lower female genital tract affecting 75% of women at least once in their lifetime. Recurrent VVC (RVVC) is arbitrarily defined as four or more episodes every year. RVVC is a debilitating, long-term condition that can severely affect the quality of life of women. Several factors have been associated with RVVC such as prolonged use of antibiotics, inadequately treated infection, uncontrolled diabetes, immune mechanisms (e.g. HIV), oral contraceptive use as well as the resistance of non-albicans Candida species (e.g. C glabrata, C krusei) to conventional antifungal agents as azoles. Fluconazole administered orally is the most commonly used antifungal drug in the case of RVVC. However, in the last decade, fluconazole-resistant C Albicans has been reported in women with RVVC. Terconazole is a broad-spectrum, triazole antifungal treatment agent for both C Albicans and non-albicans. Its use (80 mg vaginal suppository daily for 6 days) was as effective as two doses of oral fluconazole (150 mg) in the treatment of patients with severe VVC and RVVC. Boric acid or boracic [B(OH)3] is a weak acid with proven antifungal action. In RVVC especially in azole-resistant strains and in non-Candida Albicans, 600 mg of the boric acid vaginal suppository is recommended once daily for 2 weeks. This regimen has a mycologic cure rate varied from 40% to 100%. However, there are no published studies comparing the intravaginal use of boric acid with terconazole for RVVC. Accordingly, a prospective randomized study in patients with RVVC will be conducted to address this important issue.

Candidiasis is an infection caused by a yeast (a type of fungus) called Candida. Candidiasis in the vagina is commonly called a "vaginal yeast infection." Another names for this infection is "vaginal candidiasis". The symptoms of vaginal candidiasis include: Vaginal itching or soreness, Pain during sexual intercourse, Pain or discomfort when urinating and Abnormal vaginal discharge. VagiVitalAC is a modified version of the existing gel VagiVital, formulated to act as a treatment for fungal infections. This clinical investigation is a two-part study consisting of a pilot part followed by a randomized part. The aim of the pilot part is to evaluate if VagiVitalAC is able to cure the vulvovaginal candidiasis in at least 70% of the patients after 7 days treatment. If the proportion of cured patients is at least 70 %, the next part, the randomized part, will be performed. In the randomized part, the treatment efficacy and safety of VagiVitalAC on candida vulvovaginitis will be evaluated by comparing a treatment group with a control group receiving no treatment.
