Clinical Trial Summary

The primary hypothesis is that continuous administration of an OCP (CCOCP regimen) will result in more pain relief than a traditional 21/7 administration in primary dysmenorrhea (PD) patients.


Clinical Trial Description

It is well established that excess prostaglandin production in primary dysmenorrhea (PD) leads to ischemia of the uterine muscle, which consequently causes pelvic pain. A large number of drugs have been studied for pain relief in dysmenorrhea patients with non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) being the most effective with the overall success rate of more than 75%. Oral contraceptive pills (OCP) are also an established treatment for PD with the success rate of 70%. Lately, OCP's have been used continuously in patients with endometriosis and had better pain control than traditional administration of OCP. ;
