FEATS: Failed Endometrial Ablation Treatment With Implantable Progesterone (FEAT) Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of an implantable etonogestrel device in reducing hysterectomy rate in patients with a failed endometrial ablation.

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
The researchers aim to determine whether use of etonogestrel implant in patients with failed endometrial ablation significantly decreases hysterectomy rate. Changes in pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding will be assessed. Time to hysterectomy will be examined.
The researchers hypothesize that treatment of failed endometrial ablation with etonogestrel implant will decrease pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding resulting in a significantly decreased need for hysterectomy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Hysterectomy [Occurrence of hysterectomy will be documented any time during the 3 year follow up period]
occurrence of hysterectomy
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Vaginal bleeding [PBAC score will be documented at baseline and 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months]
Pictorial Blood Loss Assessment Chart (PBAC) score, minimum score = 0mL, maximum score = n/a, higher score indicates higher menstrual blood loss
- Pelvic Pain [VAS will be documented at baseline and 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months]
Assessment of pelvic pain using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), minimum score = 0, maximum score = 10, higher score indicates more pain
- Time to Hysterectomy [Time of hysterectomy will be documented any time during the 3 year follow up period]
Time from booking of hysterectomy to actual hysterectomy will be documented
