5 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study will investigate whether Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is effective in treating recurrent mastitis without the use of antibiotics and if it helps in preventing future recurrence of mastitis in individuals who have had multiple occurrences of mastitis.
Lactation (breastfeeding) mastitis is an acute infection of the milk ducts of the breastfeeding woman. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is the infectious germ most commonly associated with lactation mastitis. Twenty percent of the general population are carriers of Staphylococcus aureus, which means that they carry the infectious germ but do not become ill from it. It has been suggested that mothers who are carriers of S. aureus in their nostril may be at an increased risk of developing lactational mastitis, however; this has not been clinical proven. We are studying the relationship between S. aureus carrier status of breastfeeding mothers and infants and the risk of developing lactational mastitis. Additionally, we are collecting questionnaire data in an attempt to better define factors predisposing women to lactation mastitis.
Problem of the Study This study was designed to test the effectiveness of the application of extra-virgin coconut oil versus Highly Purified Anhydrous (HPA) Lanolin in ameliorating nipple pain, cracking and eventually the prevention of subacute lactation mastitis in breastfeeding women. It is theorized that the nipple crack, nipple pain are early warning signs of subacute clinical lactation mastitis. Goal is after application of extra-virgin coconut oil comparative analysis will be done at one week, three weeks, and six weeks. These complications associated with development of subacute mastitis can be addressed early during the first six weeks of lactation.
The aim of this study was to retrospectively review the granulomatous mastitis and evaluated current approach and treatment. HYPOTHESIS Although there is no common protocol for the treatment and management process of GM, the ternary treatment (medical treatment following by surgical procedure, Steroid+Antibiotic and surgical procedure, respectively) is considered as the most successful treatment approach.
The purpose of this study is to compare two complex, multi-component evidence-based postpartum interventions in underserved populations of lower socioeconomic status in an effort to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality.
