Active clinical trials for "Menorrhagia"

To evaluate efficacy and safety of a combined oral contraceptive of estradiol valerate and dienogest in the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding

STUDY HYPOTHESIS: Does outpatient NovaSureTM endometrial ablation alleviate excessive menstrual bleeding and improve life quality more effectively than outpatient ThermachoiceTM endometrial ablation?

A randomised study including 236 women referred for essential menorrhagia to five university hospitals in Finland was conducted to compare the cost-effectiveness and the quality of life issues in the treatment of menorrhagia.Participants were randomly assigned to treatment with LNG-IUS (n=119), or hysterectomy (n=117), and were monitored for ten years. The primary outcome measures were health related quality of life (HRQoL), other measures of psychosocial well-being (anxiety, depression, sexual functioning), and costs.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate comparability between Contour SE™ Microspheres and Embosphere® Microspheres for achieving post UFE fibroid devascularization in women with symptomatic uterine fibroids.

Many women have heavy periods and this can be associated with low blood, tiredness and inability to carry out normal activities. Approximately 10-30% of these women will have an underlying bleeding disorder. There is a drug called tranexamic acid which is commonly used and is effective in reducing menstrual flow. However, up to 1/3 of women have side effects and they are more common at higher doses. In the medical literature, there are different dosing schedules and there is one commonly recommended in Canada. Women with underlying bleeding disorders may require higher doses of this medication compared to those who do not. In this study, the investigators want to find the lowest effective dose of tranexamic acid for girls and women with heavy periods who have bleeding disorders and the investigators think this will be lower then the usual recommended dose. If the investigators' results support this, it may contribute to changing how the investigators presently prescribe this medication and may provide a better option for women with heavy periods in particular those with bleeding disorders. The investigators have just started a Women with Bleeding Disorders Clinic and hope that this project will lead to better care for the patients and more research in the future.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Aurora Endometrial Ablation System as compared to hysteroscopic rollerball endometrial ablation in reducing menstrual blood loss at 12 months post-treatment.

The aim of this study is to explore effects of the investigational product for the treatment of treatment-resistant menorrhagia without organic cause.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system is effective in decreasing menstrual blood loss.

To determine the relative efficacy of multidose medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA, Provera) and a multidose, monophasic combination oral contraceptive in the treatment of hemodynamically stable women with non-gestational, acute uterine bleeding.

The objective of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of asoprisnil in symptomatic women with abnormal uterine bleeding associated with uterine fibroids.
