Hyaluronic acid aids pelvic pain reliefEffect of Oral High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (HMWHA), Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), Magnesium, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin D Supplementation in Pregnant Women: A Retrospective Observational Pilot Study.
Relevant and promising findings
We explored the effects of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HMWHA) on pelvic pain in pregnant women through a pilot study.
In our research, 200 women received daily oral supplements of HMWHA along with other nutrients. In comparison, 50 women formed a control group taking magnesium only.
Results showed significant reductions in pelvic pain, preterm birth, contractions, and hospitalizations in the treatment group. Our findings suggest that HMWHA could be a promising option for managing pelvic pain during pregnancy.

Hyaluronic acid reduces pelvic painIntravesical instillation of high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate in radiation-induced cystitis: a prospective pilot study.
High relevance score indicated.
We explored the impact of high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate (HMW-HA) on pelvic pain caused by radiation-induced cystitis. In this prospective study involving 30 patients across seven centers in France, participants received six weekly intravesical instillations of HMW-HA.
Results showed a notable reduction in pelvic pain intensity and improvements in other symptoms, like hematuria and urinary frequency. These positive outcomes were stable even four weeks after treatment. Thankfully, the therapy was well-tolerated with minimal side effects.
However, we recognize that more in-depth studies are needed to solidify these findings.

Positive effects on postoperative recoveryThe effect of new cross linked hyaluronan gel on quality of life of patients after deep infiltrating endometriosis surgery: a randomized controlled pilot study.
High relevance to treatment outcomes
We evaluated how New Cross linked Hyaluronan Gel (NCH gel) influences patients' quality of life after surgery for Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis (DIE). In a well-structured randomized controlled trial, patients received either the gel or a placebo saline solution post-surgery.
Our findings showed that those treated with NCH gel reported significantly lower pain levels and improved overall health scores at three and six months after surgery. This suggests that using NCH gel can enhance recovery and quality of life following endometriosis surgery.

Hyaluronic acid shows promiseEfficacy of instillation treatment with hyaluronic acid in relieving symptoms in patients with BPS/IC and uncomplicated recurrent urinary tract infections - Long-term results of a multicenter study.
Relevant treatment findings detailed
This study looked into how well hyaluronic acid (HA) treatments help relieve pelvic pain in patients with bladder pain syndrome and urinary tract infections. We found that, after long-term use, patients experienced significant reductions in symptoms like urinary bladder pain and urgency. Remarkably, around 75% of participants saw complete relief and needed no further treatments.
Overall, our results suggest that HA can be a valuable option for improving quality of life in those suffering from these conditions, making a positive impact with few side effects.

Effective, safe pelvic pain treatmentSafety and efficacy of Intravesical hyaluronic acid/chondroitin sulfate in the treatment of refractory painful bladder syndrome.
Highly relevant study findings
We evaluated the use of hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate through intravesical instillation to treat refractory painful bladder syndrome in forty patients.
Over several months, patients received weekly treatments and reported significant reductions in pain and symptom severity, as measured by multiple scales.
Impressively, all participants tolerated the treatment well with no documented side effects. Overall, our findings suggest that this approach is both safe and effective for managing pelvic pain.
