6 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This pilot study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the VITA AV Clinical System over a period of up to three months after the last treatment, compared to a sham device. The study focuses on improving vaginal signs and symptoms of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) in post-menopausal women who experience moderate to severe pain during intercourse (dyspareunia). Long-term follow-up visits will assess the ongoing effectiveness and durability of the treatment, while also collecting safety data.
Non-hormonal alternatives for the treatment of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) are needed. In this proposed trial, patients who are diagnosed with GSM will be randomized to receive either a hyaluronic acid (HLA) vaginal insert or vaginal estrogen topical cream for 12 weeks. There will be a baseline visit and an 12 week follow up visit, at which points the patient will undergo a detailed history and physical examination including a pelvic exam, vaginal pH sampling, vaginal cell sample for microscopic analysis, and will fill out a vulvovaginal symptom questionnaire (VSQ). These study arms will be analyzed to assess the efficacy of HLA as compared to the gold standard of vaginal estrogen to treat GSM symptoms.
Aim of the study: To assess the efficacy of MonaLisa Touch procedure for the management of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) in a randomized double-blind placebo controlled study.
The impact of treatment for GSM on the quality of life will be examined for postmenopausal women (defined as last menstrual period \> 1 year ago or 6 months ago with FSH \>40) who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
We have recently developed and optimized a vaginal Optical Coherence tomography/angiography endoscopy imaging system. This technology is able to obtain a comprehensive image of the vaginal epithelium, blood vessels, and lamina propria. The primary focus of this study is establishing the Optical Coherence Tomography system's capability of capturing vaginal changes that occur before and after menopause, as well as before and after treatment with fractional-CO2 laser therapy. There are two aims of this study. Aim 1: 1. To determine the feasibility and sensitivity of the integrated optical coherence endoscope to assess vaginal tissue integrity in pre, peri and postmenopausal women. Aim 2: To optically visualize the effects of fractional-CO2 laser treatment on vaginal tissue over the course of C02 vaginal laser therapy.
This is a study of how local estrogen treatment affects the microbiome of the vagina and bladder in postmenopausal women experiencing symptoms as part of "Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause." The goal is to understand more about the underlying microbial changes occurring in menopause and whether these are reversible with estrogen.
