About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Study: Patients' With or Without Tenaculum Placement and Intracervical Blockage/or Not During Colposcopic Biopsy

The investigators will investigate patients pain and biopsy size during colposcopic biopsy. The investigators will use tenaculum randomized patient with or without intracervical blockage.

Read the detailed description

The study was designed four arms. The investigators will perform colposcopy because of various causes. The first arm is used tenaculum and performed intracervical blockage. The second arm is not used tenaculum and performed intracervical blockage. The third arm is used tenaculum and not performed intracervical blockage. The fourth arm is not used tenaculum and not performed intracervical blockage and then we will study patients pain and biopsy size during colposcopic biopsy. Pain reduce and biopsy size are very important for patient and diagnose of the cervix cancer.

Being tested
Tenaculum replacement

What is being measured

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

  1. Patients' Biopsy Sizes

    Are patients' biopsy sizes associate with tenaculum. Milimeter will be used for biopsy size.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Patients' Biopsy Sizes

    Are patients' biopsy sizes associate with analgesic. Milimeter will be used for biopsy size.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Patients' pain perceptions

    Are patients' pain perceptions associate with analgesic. Linear Visual Analog Scale will be used for pain perception.

    Measured: 6 months analgesic

  2. Patients' pain perceptions

    Are patients' pain perceptions associate with teanaculum. Linear Visual Analog Scale will be used for pain perception.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tenaculum replacement in people with Pain Uterus and Tenaculum, run by Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Research and Training Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 inclusion and 6 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 8 Jun 2018. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Patients' Biopsy Sizes (time frame: 6 months). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03279666, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Jun 2018.
