Trial summary

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of hormone-dependent endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It is a chronic, painful and often disabling pathology during the normal activities of daily life. It affects 10% of women of childbearing age. It is therefore a real public health issue.

About this study

Official title: Compliance With Medical Treatment for Endometriosis : a Cross-sectional Study

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of hormone-dependent endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It is a chronic, painful and often disabling pathology during the normal activities of daily life. It affects 10% of women of childbearing age. It is therefore a real public health issue.

The latest recommendations from the HAS and the CNGOF now recommend primary medical management of endometriosis in painful women who do not wish to become pregnant. It should be remembered that until very recently, the teams resigned themselves to carrying out surgical interventions in order to support the diagnosis (this is histological and requires a biopsy) and to treat the patient if possible. Sometimes, this treatment was not possible from the outset, as the lesions appeared to be inaccessible, and additional hormonal treatment was therefore required. The current concept is to propose to patients a first hormonal suppressive treatment before a possible surgery. This therapeutic de-escalation should be considered in the light of the physiopathology of endometriosis, which is essentially based on the ovarian cycles, and indirectly on menstruation, which must then be suspended. However, a good number of patients are initially reluctant to undergo any kind of hormonal therapy, either because they have had a bad experience with hormonal contraception (intolerance) or because of a fear related to the possible complications of hormonal therapy with third or fourth generation pills, for example (thromboembolic risk). There is also a health alert at present concerning macro progestins in relation to the risk of meningioma. Acceptance of the principle of instituting amenorrhea in order to relieve patients suffering from endometriosis requires prior information. In investigator's daily practice, they frequently deplore non-compliance, which is detrimental to the proper management of the disease. The effectiveness of hormonal treatment, which will institute a quiescence of hormonal activity, is not immediate. An analgesic and anti-inflammatory treatment is then added. Investigators propose to compare the compliance of three drug strategies: analgesics alone, hormone therapy alone or hormone therapy and analgesics.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Compliance with medical treatment for endometriosisBehavioural

    During their scheduled consultation at the Hôpital Femme Mère Enfant (HFME), women who meet the eligibility criteria will be presented with the study and given the written information note. If they agree to participate, the investigator will give them a QR code redirecting them to the online self-questionnaire.

    Patients will be included once they log in and complete the questionnaire.

What is being measured

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

  1. Compliance measured by the Morisky Medication Adherence Scales (MMAS-8).

    This self-administered questionnaire validated in French has 8 items each scored 0 or 1. A high score indicates high compliance: high compliance (score = 8), average compliance (score of 6 to < 8) and low compliance (score < 6). Patients with a score greater than or equal to 6 will be considered as compliant. This questionnaire has been validated in French.

    Measured: 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endometriosis, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 1 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 20 May 2024. 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 France. 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?

Compliance measured by the Morisky Medication Adherence Scales (MMAS-8). (time frame: 10 minutes). 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 May 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
