Effectiveness

How Norethindrone And Ethinyl Estradiol Affects PatientsNorethisterone is a type of medicine taken by mouth that is used for birth control or to treat other hormone-related conditions. It is a much stronger version of the hormone progesterone, and works by changing the cervical and endometrial function, as well as blocking hormones that are linked to ovulation. Taking this medicine may slightly increase the risk of developing breast cancer, so patients should be aware of this risk and do regular self-examinations to check for any lumps or masses.
How Norethindrone And Ethinyl Estradiol works in the bodyNorethisterone works by changing the environment of the reproductive tract to make it harder for sperm to move around, and making the endometrium inhospitable for implantation. It also suppresses the release of hormones that help with ovulation, preventing eggs from being released. When used in hormone replacement therapy, it suppresses the growth of the endometrium, reducing the risk of cancer. Finally, it has a low affinity for other hormone receptors, but can still cause some adverse effects like acne and changes in lipids.

Norethindrone And Ethinyl Estradiol for Painful Periods
This medication has been wonderful for me. It's helped regulate my periods and made them much shorter and less painful. It's also an effective form of birth control. The only issue I had was some spotting when I first started taking the pills, but that resolved after a couple of months as my body adjusted to the hormones.

I've been taking this medication for over a year now with no issues. I have had unprotected sex during this time period and have not gotten pregnant, so I can attest to its reliability. The only downside is that I think it's made it harder for me to lose weight and I get nauseous more easily.

Sculptra + Restylane for Post-Menopausal Skin Concerns

40 - 65
Female
Montreal, Canada
The post-menopausal state is marked by a sharp decline in estrogen, leading to significant structural and functional changes in the skin, including collagen loss, dryness, thinning, and reduced elasticity. To address these concerns, aesthetic injectables products such as Sculptra® Aesthetic (poly-L-lactic-acid \[PLLA- SCA\]) and Restylane Skinboosters®\[HASBV\] (small-particle hyaluronic acid - SP-HA) can be used. PLLA-SCA stimulates collagen production via cellular activation (biostimulator), gradually improving dermal structure. HASBV enhances hydration, elasticity, and skin texture when injected under the skin. Considering that hydration and laxity represent the primary aesthetic concerns in this patient population. Targeted treatment with SP-HA (HASBV) to improve hydration and PLLA-SCA to address laxity have been shown to produce significant clinical outcomes by directly addressing these key dermal deficiencies. This approach forms the basis of the current study.

Ketamine for Pelvic Pain

18 - 89
Female
Cleveland, OH
The purpose of this research study is to see if ketamine infusion during surgery can decrease pain after surgery. Ketamine is a medication commonly used as part of anesthesia during surgery and is approved by the US FDA. Patients will be randomized to either receive standard anesthesia with OR without ketamine. The surgical procedure will be the same regardless of which group patients are randomized to. After surgery, patients will be asked to rate their pain in the post-operative observation unit and at their two-week post-operative visit. No additional visits are required for participation in this study. The investigators estimate the surveys will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

NettleEndo for Endometriosis

22 - 45
Female
San Francisco, CA
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a wearable brain stimulation device called NettleEndo can reduce chronic pelvic pain and improve wellbeing in women with endometriosis. The study also aims to assess the safety and usability of the device when used at home over several months. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does at-home transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) reduce daily pain intensity in women with endometriosis? 2. Does the device also improve mood and sleep quality? Researchers will compare two groups-one receiving active brain stimulation and one receiving a sham (placebo) stimulation-to see if the active device provides greater improvements in symptoms. Participants will: 1. Use the NettleEndo device at home for 20 minutes per session, five times per week for 12 weeks 2. Be randomly assigned to receive either real or sham stimulation through the device 3. Complete daily and weekly symptom ratings through a mobile app 4. Wear an optional fitness tracker to collect data on sleep, movement, and heart rate variability 5. Be followed for 60 days after completing the intervention to monitor longer-term effects All activities are completed remotely using a smartphone app. Participants can contact the study team with questions at any time. The study is double-blind, meaning neither participants nor the researchers assessing outcomes will know who received active or sham treatment until the end of the trial.

Lidocaine for Pain Control in Birth Control

The goal of this research study is to learn more about how different uses of a numbing medication might affect pain levels while getting an IUD placed. The investigators are also studying participants opinions of their clinicians' empathy. The investigators are inviting patients who arrive at their clinic visit seeking an IUD. Usually, at University of California, San Diego (UCSD), for patients who have never delivered a baby, clinicians use a buffered paracervical block for before IUD placement. The purpose of this research study is to investigate whether a "buffered" (2 cc of sodium bicarbonate, 18 cc of 1% lidocaine) paracervical block (numbing medication given on both sides of the cervix) is effective in reducing pain during IUD placement in individuals with prior C-sections, the difference between buffered and unbuffered for nulliparous patients, and whether a medicated gel reduces pain with the paracervical block.
