Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
randomized controlled trial
Eligiblility criteria Provisional diagnosis Clinical presentation Progressive dysmenorrhea Chronic pelvic pain Deep dyspareunia Evidences of endometriosis Endometriotic nodule Cul-de-sac nodularity Endometrioma detected by ultrasonography size < 4 cm
Inclusion criteria Female age 18-45 yr Moderate to severe pelvic pain categorized by VAS >50 Previous sexual intercourse
Exclusion criteria Co-existing other genital tract disease associated pain Previous hormonal use within 3 months History of DMPA treatment failure WHO eligibility criteria 2009 for DMPA and LNG-IUS Category 3,4 Fertility desire in upcoming 1 year
Primary objective To compare efficacy of pain control in endometriosis associated pelvic pain between LNG-IUS and DMPA
Secondary objective To compare side effect, continuation rate, satisfaction and quality of life between LNG-IUS and DMPA in treatment of endometriosis associated pelvic pain
Primary outcome Severity of pelvic pain Measured by VAS score 0 mean no pain 100 mean most pain
Secondary outcomes Vaginal bleeding pattern Side effects of systemic progestogen Lipid profiles Weight gain Quality of life Measured by quesionaire SF36 Satisfaction Measrured by linket scale 0-4 0 mean very dissatisfied 1 dissatisfied 2 not satisfied and dissatiffied 3 satisfied 4 very satisfied Continuation rate Endometrioma size reduction
