Clinical Trial Summary

Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) occurs in approximately 50% of menopausal women but is both underrecognized and undertreated despite numerous treatment options. Vaginal dryness, irritation, dyspareunia, urinary frequency, and urinary urgency are some of the more common symptoms that can have a negative effect on women's lives and relationships. In particular, dyspareunia is localized in the vestibule with specific trophic changes more evident than those localized in vagina. The CO2 fractionated laser, has also been found to be useful in several studies for the treatment of vaginal atrophy. In this open comparative study, 70 female menopausal subjects aged between 40 and 70 years old at inclusion, having symptoms of GSM (Vaginal dryness, burning/pain, dyspareunia,dysuria), have given her informed consent and meet all the eligibility criteria, will be enrolled. The two groups of comparison will be 35 subjects treated into vagina and vestibule, versus 35 subjects treated into vagina, only. Subjects will come to a total of 6 visits over a period of 3 months. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the performance and safety of Pixel CO2-Alma Fractionated Laser comparing its administration into vagina and vestibule versus into vagina, only. The evaluated outcomes are vaginal dryness, burning/pain, dyspareunia, sensitivity to touch at Swab test, Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and Vulval Pain Functional Questionnaire (VQ) at day 84 and 120 and the safety during all the study. The secondary objectives are the evaluation of vaginal and vestibular trophism, measured by Vaginal Health Index (VHI) and Vestibular Health Score (VHS) at the FU visits.
