Trial summary

Dilatation of the cervix is necessary before operative hysteroscopic procedures. This dilatation with Hegar dilators has certain difficulties and is associated with pain. Cervical priming with various substances soften the cervix, ease the entry for the operation and decrease complications such as uterine perforation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomised Trial for Postoperative Pain After Rectal Misoprostol or Rectal Hyoscine Administration

Dilatation of the cervix is necessary before operative hysteroscopic procedures. This dilatation with Hegar dilators has certain difficulties and is associated with pain. Cervical priming with various substances soften the cervix, ease the entry for the operation and decrease complications such as uterine perforation.

The investigators aimed to compare rectally administered "misoprostol" and" hyoscine butyl bromide" with sham protocol.

Read the detailed description

The study is planned as a double blind randomised controlled one centre study. It will take part at a operative gynaecological department of a university hospital. Women who apply to the university clinic who have a medical indication for hysteroscopic surgery will be recruited after informed consent.

Patients included in the study will be allocated to three groups. The intervention arms will be two arms and one sham group. The randomisation will be performed to three groups by a third party who is not involved in the surgical procedures.

Upon initial evaluation, a form evaluating age and other sociodemographic characteristics will be filled out before the scheduled hysteroscopy procedure. After completion of the initial form, rectal tablets will be administered according to the allocated group; two hours previously to the procedure. Hysteroscopy will be under general anaesthesia with a 10 mm hysteroscope during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle.

During the procedure the duration of the cervical entry and total duration of the operation will be noted. Additionally basal dilatation will be noted.

Two hours after the procedure pain will be documented according to the Visual Analogue Scale which is a ten point scale. A value of "1" indicates "no pain". A value of "10" indicates "excruciating" pain.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative pain

    Two hours after the procedure "postoperative pain" will be documented according to the Visual Analogue Scale which is a ten point scale. A value of "1" indicates "no pain". A value of "10" indicates "excruciating" pain.

    Measured: Postoperative 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Analgesic administration

    Need for analgesic administration

    Measured: Postoperative 2 hours

  2. Duration of procedure

    Duration of cervical dilatation and total surgery

    Measured: During the surgery

  3. Ease of cervical dilatation

    Ease of cervical dilatation will be evaluated using a 5 point likert scale.

    1. Very difficult
    2. Difficult
    3. Normal
    4. Easy
    5. Very easy

    Measured: During the surgery

  4. Initial cervical dilatation

    Initial cervical dilatation will be evaluated using the Hegar dilatator number

    Measured: During the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Misoprostol and Hyoscine butyl bromide in people with Hysteroscopic Surgery and Pain, Postoperative, run by Bezmialem Vakif University 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 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Postoperative pain (time frame: Postoperative 2 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?
