Filter by:The study aims to collect data on the influence of a treatment with Visanne (Dienogest 2mg/d) on the Endometriosis related quality of life. These data will be collected using a special patient questionnaire (Endometriosis Health Profile 5, EHP-5). The study will also be used to describe the basic disease status and demographic characteristics of patients searching treatment by a gynecologist because of their endometriosis. In addition, the study will give insight into the typical diagnostic measures the physicians in different countries are using in the field of endometriosis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the administration of an analogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) during the three months prior to the performing of an IVF may improve the response to ovarian stimulation, implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate in patients with endometriosis/ endometriomas.
Endometriosis is one of the most common disease in reproductive aged women.Surgical intervention has a significant symptoms relief. However, symptom recurrence is often after surgery. This study aims to determine the efficacy of Desogestrel compared with placebo in pain symptom of symptomatic endometriosis patient undergo conservative surgery . The primary outcome measurement is pain score at 6 months after surgery.
The objective of this study is to conduct a prospective randomized controlled trial of robotic-assisted versus conventional laparoscopy for the treatment of endometriosis.
Background: - Some women with endometriosis have chronic pelvic pain. This pain may be caused by spasms of the pelvic floor muscles. These spasms can be detected by an examination. Studies suggest that botulinum toxin can help treat problems caused by muscle spasms. Researchers want to see if botulinum toxin injections into the pelvic floor muscles can decrease pain and spasms in women with pelvic pain. Objectives: - To see if botulinum toxin can relieve pain from pelvic floor spasm in women with pelvic pain. Eligibility: - Women between 18 and 50 years of age with pain associated with pelvic muscle spasm and endometriosis. Pain must be persistent (lasting for at least 3 months). Design: - Participants will keep a pain diary and record their pain medication use for a month before the first visit. - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Participants will also answer questions about their pain levels and quality of life. - Participants will receive either botulinum toxin or a placebo (salt water) injection. The injection will be given into the pelvic floor muscles through the vaginal wall. Participants will take a muscle relaxant like Valium and have anesthetic cream put on the vaginal wall before the injection. - After the injection, participants will keep a pain diary for another month. - At a 1-month followup visit, participants will answer questions about their pain. If the pain has not improved, all participants may have a botulinum toxin injection (no placebo) into the pelvic floor muscles as before. - Participants will have followup visits for up to a year after the initial 1-month followup visit.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KLH-2109 in patients with endometriosis.
Background: - Some transplant recipients have been found to have cells in their uterus that come from the donor. Researchers want to study uterine tissue from three different groups of women: (1) healthy volunteers, (2) people who have had a stem cell transplant, and (3) people with rare diseases or conditions that affect reproduction. These samples will help researchers learn more about the way stem cells work in the reproductive tract. Objectives: - To collect cells from the uterus to study how stem cells work in the reproductive tract. Eligibility: - Women at least 18 years of age. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. They will also have blood and urine tests. - Participants will have an endometrial biopsy to collect cells for study. The biopsy visit will take 1 to 2 hours.
Endometriosis is a relatively common chronic gynecological condition that affects approximately 10% of all women of reproductive age. It is a pelvic inflammatory disease that is characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside of the uterine cavity. Typical symptoms of endometriosis include dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, and infertility; the severity of pain associated with this disease often leads to a considerable decrease in quality of life. The standard treatment for severe pelvic pain and infertility is to surgically remove endometriotic areas. Identifying all endometriotic lesions is paramount to "optimal endometriosis debulking." The inability to see all endometriosis lesions has been thought to be a factor for patients with little or no relief following surgery. Using the Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) method has the potential to improve visualization of endometriosis lesions, assist in debulking and thus, result in improved clinical outcomes. NBI is a technique that uses a specific narrow wavelength of light to change the normal color contrasts of the endoscopic image and improve detection of neovascularization, which is the pathological feature of endometriosis for both superficial and deeper vascularization. This type of imaging has the potential to offer improved discrimination of lesions, increasing diagnostic yield as well as resulting in more complete debulking. This study is designed to determine the degree to which NBI improves the detection and diagnosis of endometriosis lesions. Data collected during the study will be used to test the hypothesis that the use of NBI will improve the detection and diagnosis of endometriotic lesions at the time of laparoscopy compared to standard visible white light examination. Furthermore, this study will also determine the impact of the use of NBI compared to use of white light examination on reported severity of pain at 6-weeks, 3-months, and 6 months following surgery. Hypotheses: The use of NBI in addition to white light examination will improve the diagnostic yield of endometriotic lesions at the time of laparoscopy compared to only using white light examination. The use of NBI in addition to white light examination will improve the sensitivity of detecting endometriotic lesions and reduce false positives at laparoscopy compared to only using white light examination. Secondarily, the use of NBI will be associated with a greater reduction in pain at the 6-week, 3-month, and 6-month follow-up compared to the use of white light examination alone because of improved lesion identification and debulking.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of TAK-385, once daily (QD), for 12 weeks in women with endometriosis.
The purpose of this study is to compare the long term safety and efficacy of TAK-385, once daily (QD) following continued administration in participants who completed a Phase II dose-finding study.
