About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Intracavitary Manual Lymphatic Drainage Versus Conventional Treatment in the Prevention of Perineal Trauma During Labor.

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Intracavitary Manual Lymphatic Drainage (IMLD) in the reduction of the perineal trauma and the symptoms of vaginal edema, the prevention of complications during the expulsive and the improvement in the postpartum recovery, compared to conventional treatment during the gestation, in women with the second partum. The weekly treatment is performed from the 25th gestational week in women with vulvar edema.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Intracavitary Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Conventional treatment in people with Lymphatic Diseases, run by Universidad Europea de Madrid.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain intensity assessed by the Visual Analogue Scale (time frame: 5 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Sep 2019.
