fa مقایسه‌ی تاثیر کرم واژینال بره موم زنبور عسل (پروپولیس) با ژل واژینال مترونیدازول در درمان واژینوز باکتریایی (1393) کارآزمایی بالینی Clinical Trials <p><strong><em>Background and Objective:</em></strong> Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause of vulvovaginits in reproductive- aged women. Metronidazole which is considered as the first -line treatment accompanies a few side effects. Besides, many women prefer to use herbal therapy for the treatment of vaginitis.

The results were compared after 7 days of therapy.</p> <p><strong><em>Results</em></strong>: There was a significant relationship between groups in terms of type of treatment and recovery based on Amsel&rsquo;s criteria (P<0/05). The response to the treatment in the groups of Metronidazole and Propolis were 95.8 % and 70.8%, respectively.</p> <p><strong><em>Conclusion:</em></strong> Although Propolis had a weak effect on the improvement of Amsel&rsquo;s criteria and nugent score changes, but responses to the treatment in Propolis group was considerable (70.8%). So Propolis can be used as a complimentary treatment besides the main therapy.</p> <p></p><p></p><p></p><p dir="RTL"></p> Keywords: Propolis, Metronidazole, Bacterial vaginosis 42 50 http://journal.zums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-4-963&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Mahsa sadat Mousavi مهسا السادات موسوی Mousavi1315@gmail.com 5200319475328460053423 5200319475328460053423 Yes Dept. of Midwifery, Islamic Azad University, Isfahan (Khorasgan) Branch, Isfahan, Iran دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی واحد اصفهان Reza Mannani رضا منافی 5200319475328460053424 5200319475328460053424 No Dept. of Pharmachologv, Islamic Azad University, Isfahan (Khorasgan) Branch, Isfahan, Iran دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی واحد اصفهان Minoo Mottaghi مینو متقی 5200319475328460053425 5200319475328460053425 No Dept. of Nursing, Islamic Azad University, Isfahan (Khorasgan) Branch, Isfahan, Iran دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی واحد اصفهان Behnaz Torkan بهناز ترکان 5200319475328460053426 5200319475328460053426 No Dept. of Midwifery, Islamic Azad University, Isfahan (Khorasgan) Branch, Isfahan, Iran دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی واحد اصفهان Hoshang Afrouzan هوشنگ افروزان 5200319475328460053427 5200319475328460053427 No Animal Science Research Institute, Karaj, Iran دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی واحد اصفهان
