About this study

Official title: The Role of Platelet Rich Plasma in Supporting the Recovery of Post-partum Levator Ani Muscle Trauma

Levator trauma (ballooning) often occurs after vaginal delivery. Platelet rich plasma injection after delivery showed reduced hiatal area and maintain levator muscle strength.

Read the detailed description

This study aims to see if PRP has a beneficial effect on the repair of pelvic floor muscle damage in primipara. Therefore, this single-blinded randomized clinical trial compares the pelvic floor muscle repair in primipara following labor between the interventional group who received intramuscular PRP injection in levator ani muscle and the control group, as assessed by ultrasonography, perineometry. The ultrasonography outcome measures include lower hiatal area during Valsalva. The assessments are performed at multiple time points, which are before labor, 24-48 hours post-labor, 40 days post-labor, and 3 months post-labor.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Platelet Rich PlasmaBiological

    Also called PRP

    Platelet rich plasma is an autologous blood with high amount of platelet. It produced by obtaining patient's whole blood and processed by centrifugation and activation by CaCl2.

Study groups in NCT03021954
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Intervention GroupExperimentalPlatelet rich plasma injected intramuscularly in pelvic floor muscle immediately following labor and before perineoraphy, simultaneously with the injection of local anesthesia
Receives: Biological: Platelet Rich Plasma
Control GroupNo interventionNo intervention given, patient will only get local anesthesia injection before perineoraphy

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes of Levator Hiatal Area During Valsava

    Changes in lower hiatal area during valsalva in various measurements (compared to baseline value), measured using translabial 3D ultrasound. With the translabial technique at an angle of 70 degrees or more, the entire levator hiatus and surrounding muscles (pubococcygeus and puborectalis) can be visualized. It is hoped that ultrasound is more reproducible because axial measurements are easier with minimal dimensional images, at rest, valsalva, or contraction.

    Measured: Baseline (third trimester), 40 days post-partum, 3 months post-partum

  2. Changes in Pelvic Floor Muscle Contraction

    Changes in pelvic floor muscle contraction in various measurements (compared to baseline), measured using perineometer

    Measured: Baseline (third trimester), 40 days post partum, and 3 months post partum

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Platelet Rich Plasma in people with Pelvic Floor Disorders, run by Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital at 1 site in Indonesia.

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 4 inclusion and 13 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 29 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Indonesia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Jan 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Changes of Levator Hiatal Area During Valsava (time frame: Baseline (third trimester), 40 days post-partum, 3 months post-partum). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Jan 2024.
