Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators propose that the sustained administration of a vaginal ring would have a better response with respect to pain and a better safety profile than the oral administration of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.

To assess the relief of the symptoms associated with dysmenorrhea, a specific survey was elaborated that also includes a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to objectify and measure dysmenorrhea as is the case with McGill's Pain Questionnaire (MPQ).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Efficacy: Percentage of primary dysmenorrhea reduction Change in primary dysmenorrhea using the VAS (0 = pain-free, 10 = maximum pain intensity) for the vaginal ring with meloxicam used during the perimenstrual period compared with a placebo ring. 5 months
Secondary Minimum effective dose of meloxicam Determine the minimum effective dose of the vaginal ring with meloxicam in primary dysmenorrhea using a survey. This survey includes a VAS (0 = pain-free, 10 = maximum pain intensity) to evaluate pain intensity, questions about the pain type (superficial, deep), pain location (diffuse, localized), pain duration (for a moment, intermittent, constant), location in the abdominal or back region (yes/no), and the presence of breast pain, thigh pain, mood changes, mastalgia, gastrointestinal disorders, abdominal distension, headache, dizziness, or acne (all with yes/no responses). Furthermore, the survey includes quality of life assessments (effects on routine activity, on work activity and/or housework, social and recreational activities, family and/or interpersonal relationships, state of mind, and sleep quality: 0 = no negative effect, 10 = maximum negative effect). 5 months
Secondary Efficacy: Comparison of meloxicam vaginal ring and oral diclofenac Compare the effect of a vaginal ring with meloxicam versus the oral administration of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug commonly used for primary dysmenorrhea during one menstrual cycle, using a survey. This survey includes a VAS (0 = pain-free, 10 = maximum pain intensity) to evaluate pain intensity, questions about the pain type (superficial, deep), pain location (diffuse, localized), pain duration (for a moment, intermittent, constant), location in the abdominal or back region (yes/no), and the presence of breast pain, thigh pain, mood changes, mastalgia, gastrointestinal disorders, abdominal distension, headache, dizziness, or acne (all with yes/no responses). Furthermore, the survey includes quality of life assessments (effects on routine activity, on work activity and/or housework, social and recreational activities, family and/or interpersonal relationships, state of mind, and sleep quality: 0 = no negative effect, 10 = maximum negative effect). 5 months
