Clinical Trial Summary

Treatments for the macroscopic or pathologic lesions caused by HPV infection can be classified as topical, surgical, destructive, or immunomodulatory. Post surgical treatments generally consist of analgesic, anti-inflammatory and topical antimicrobial agents to reduce the risk of local infections.

The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of polyhexamethylene biguanide-based vaginal suppositories to a similar chlorhexidine-based treatment, in the post recovery regimen after surgical treatment of cervical lesions.

Women who underwent to CO2 laser therapy for cervical lesions are randomly assigned to receive 10 days of antiseptic treatment with chlorhexidine digluconate vaginal suppositories, or polyhexamethylene biguanide vaginal suppositories (Monogin® / BiguanelleTM vaginal suppositories, Lo.Li.Pharma, Italy). A weekly follow-up check was performed for 6 weeks.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Bacterial vaginosis Diagnosis of eventual bacterial infection is performed according to Amsel's criteria After three weeks by the day of the laser treatment
Primary Change from baseline bleeding at 6 weeks Visual scoring was assessed depending on the grade of the defect (from 1 to 3) At weekly intervals by the day of laser treatment
Primary Change from baseline healing process at 6 weeks Visual scoring for healing is assessed depending on the grade of the defect (from 1 to 3) At weekly intervals by the day of laser treatment
Primary Change from baseline irritation status at 6 weeks Visual scoring for irritation is assessed depending on the grade of the defect (from 1 to 3) At weekly intervals by the day of laser treatment
Primary Bacterial vaginosis Diagnosis is performed according to the Amsel's criteria After six weeks by the day of laser treatment
