About this study

Official title: Relieving Outpatient Hysteroscopy-associated Pain: What is the Most Effective Method?

Hysteroscopy is a reference diagnostic and therapeutic procedure in intrauterine pathologies, increasingly performed without general anesthesia. Pain is the most common reason for discontinuation of outpatient hysteroscopy (OH). There is no consensus on pain alleviation during OH. The aim was to compare the effectiveness of pain relief options during OH.

Read the detailed description

A prospective randomized trial (consent no.1072.6120.228.2021) includes women subjected to OH due to focal uterine lesion, abnormal uterine bleeding, or infertility. Women are randomly assigned to 3 arms - A: NSAID (ketoprofen 100 mg intravenously), B: A+infiltration anesthesia (20 ml 1% lidocaine), C: A+paracervical block (20 ml 1% lidocaine). Karl Storz 5.0 mm Bettocchi® operative sheath with 2.9 mm 30 degree telescope and 5 Fr working channel was used. Intensity of pain in numeric rating scale (NRS), intensity of cervical bleeding, frequency of vaso-vagal reaction, and frequency of abandoning/ limiting the procedure were compared.

Being tested
ketoprofen for pain relief in office hysteroscopy, ketoprofen plus infiltration anesthesia with lidocaine for pain relief in office hysteroscopy, ketoprofen plus paracervical block anesthesia with lidocaine for pain relief in office hysteroscopy

What is being measured

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

  1. Intensification of pain in Numeric Rating Scale: 0-10

    Measurement and comparison of the intensity of pain in numeric rating scale (NRS) during and after the procedure in 3 study arms

    Measured: up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Intensity of cervical bleeding on the assumed scale: 0-3

    Measurement and comparison of the intensity of cervical bleeding (intensity scale: 0-3) during the procedure in 3 study arms

    Measured: up to 6 months

  2. Occurrence of vaso-vagal reaction during the procedure

    Measurement and comparison of the frequency of vaso-vagal reaction during the procedure in 3 study arms

    Measured: up to 6 months

  3. Occurrence of abandoning/ limiting the procedure

    Measurement and comparison of the frequency of abandoning/ limiting the procedure due to pain in 3 study arms

    Measured: up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ketoprofen for pain relief in office hysteroscopy, ketoprofen plus infiltration anesthesia with lidocaine for pain relief in office hysteroscopy and ketoprofen plus paracervical block anesthesia with lidocaine for pain relief in office hysteroscopy in people with Pain and Hysteroscopic Surgery, run by Jagiellonian University at 1 site in Poland.

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.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Aug 2023. 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 Poland. 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?

Intensification of pain in Numeric Rating Scale: 0-10 (time frame: up to 6 months). 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 8 Aug 2023.
