Active clinical trials for "Puerperal Disorders"

The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of semaglutide 1mg (Ozempic®) to aid recently postpartum women with dysglycemia and a history of GDM to regress to normoglycemia; thereby filling a gap in efficacious pharmacologic intervention options for clinicians to support postpartum diabetes recovery and reduce future risk of T2DM in young women.

The objective of this study is to design and validate an online intervention aimed at promoting well-being in women with postpartum depression. For this, the design of a multicomponent protocol consisting of empirically validated positive interventions and comparing these with a group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is proposed, following the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommendations for the treatment of depression. Participants will be screened for inclusion in the program if they meet clinical criteria. After that, they will be randomly assigned to a CBT group or a positive psychology intervention (PPI) group.

The aim of this study will be to determine the effect of the sexual health education and counseling program, which is given to women in the postpartum period based on the Ex-PLISSIT model, on women's sexual life, including sexual function, sexual distress and sexual life quality.

200 patients with post partum anemia will be randomised to receive either intravenous iron (intervention group) or peroral iron (control group). The hypothesis is that intravenous iron supplementation is superior to standard peroral iron.

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate whether self-administered postpartum diabetes screening tests in patients with gestational diabetes improves screening completion rates. The primary question it aims to answer is: Does a self-administered 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test with virtual follow-up visit increase the rate of postpartum diabetes screening within 12 weeks of delivery? Does a self-administered 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test with virtual follow-up visit increase attendance at the routine 6-week postpartum visit? Is a self-administered 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test with virtual follow-up visit associated with high patient satisfaction in their healthcare experience?

The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of assisted sit-up exercise and swiss ball pikes on the treatment of pain and disability of postpartum low back pain. The current study will compare the use of assisted sit-up exercise and swiss ball pikes. The current study is novel in a way that there is limited literature about treating postpartum low back pain with physical strengthening exercises. These two methods will be employed to see if they improve ranges along with accompanying pain and disability.

The postpartum period for the family is the period of adjustment in which a new order is established due to adding a new member to the family. For the mother, this period is a transitional period in which she has to adapt to her baby, postpartum disorders, the new order in the family, and changes in body image. Inactivity is common in today's world; increases the risk of various problems in new mothers. These problems negatively affect women's depression, functional level, sleep quality, and quality of life in the postpartum period. The Pilates method, developed by Joseph Pilates under the name of "Contrology," is the most well-known exercise method in the world for babies and mothers among today's exercise programs since it is an exercise method in which all systems, spirit, and body are integrated and coordinated, considering the whole physiological process. This study aims to understand how depression, loss of functionality, sleep quality, functional levels, and quality of life levels of women who do pilates exercises with a physiotherapist are affected in the postpartum period.

In a 3 years longitudinal, observational, multicentre study, about 500 women will be recruited and followed-up from early pregnancy (10-15 gestational week) until 12 months after delivery. The primary aim of the present study is to systematically explore and characterize risk factors for perinatal depression (PND) by prospective sleep assessment (using wrist actigraphy, polysomnography and various sleep questionnaires) and blood based analysis of potential markers during the perinatal period (Life-ON study). Secondary aims are to explore the relationship between specific genetic polymorphisms and PND (substudy Life-ON1), to investigate the effectiveness of BLT in treating PND (substudy Life-ON2) and to test whether a short term trial of BLT during pregnancy can prevent PND (substudy Life-ON3). The characterization of specific predictive and risk factors for PND may substantially contribute to improve preventive medical and social strategies for the affected women. The study results are expected to promote a better understanding of the relationship between sleep disorders and the development of PND and to confirm, in a large sample of women, the safety and efficacy of BLT both in prevention and treatment of PND.

The aim of the study is to compare the effect of intravenous versus oral iron in women with severe postpartum anemia.

During postpartum and lactation, vaginal epithelium tends to have an impaired degree of hydration and lubrication. This may lead to vaginal dryness, burning sensation dyspareunia or itching, which negatively affect the sexual function of puerperal women. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of HYDEAL-D® vaginal gel (HYALOGYN®, Fidia Farmaceutici, Abano Terme, Italy) application on promoting the restoration of sexual function in the postpartum period.
