Active clinical trials for "Menorrhagia"

Two hundred & forty patients aged from 40 to 50 years - complaining of heavy menstrual bleeding that is unresponsive to hormonal lines of treatment & requesting conservative surgical approach- were randomized into 3 groups; group A (Surgicel group) in which 80 patients underwent formal curettage followed by insertion of 4 pieces of Surgicel inside the uterine cavity, group B (Thermal balloon ablation group) in which 80 patients underwent thermal balloon ablation using bipolar radiofrequency electrical energy (Novasure), group C (Endometrial resection group) in which 80 patients underwent transcervical Hysteroscopic endometrial resection.All patients were followed up over duration of 18 months following the procedure (at 3,6,12 & 18 months). Primary outcome included amenorrhea rates

The purposes of this study are: To evaluate patient satisfaction for efficacy and tolerability of heavy menstrual bleeding treatment by Mirena. To collect italian data for Mirena in clinical routine.

The aim of this prospective, non-interventional post-marketing surveillance study is to obtain data on safety and efficacy of Mirena in treatment of prolonged or heavy menstrual bleeding (Menorrhagia) under daily-life treatment conditions. It is planned to conduct the study in about 10 countries with a total of 1000 patients. In several countries, a comparator group will also be documented. For each patient, an initial visit and one to three follow-up visits after about 3, 6 and 12 months will be documented by the treating physician on the case report form. Observations include the patient's demographic parameters (date of birth, height, weight, race and smoking habits), previous contraceptives and menorrhagia treatment, gynaecological history, baseline menstruation, result of insertion, concomitant medications and diseases as well as menorrhagia symptoms. Overall treatment success will be evaluated at the end of treatment including number of weeks until improvement and reduction of menstrual bleeding with respect to duration and severity, and patient's satisfaction.

The purpose of the post approval study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the Essure System when a NovaSure Endometrial Ablation procedure is performed following a successful Essure Confirmation Test.

The primary objective in this study is collecting post-marketing information on the safety. Thus, it includes information under the routine clinical practice on adverse events (AEs) and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) including expulsion and abnormal bleeding that occur within the first 12 months Mirena insertion. The secondary objective(s) in this study is/are collecting information on Mirena effectiveness, such as periodic blood loss and Quality of life (QOL), use of analgesic and dysmenorrhea pain as far as these are recorded under routine clinical practice.

This study will evaluate the safety, efficacy , quality of life and patient satisfaction of uterine artery embolization for the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids. It will provide useful information in the development od guidelines in patient selection, procedural management and subsequent follow up.

Heavy menstrual bleeding or menorrhagia, is a common problem on women's lives and can burden both patients and health care systems. HMB is defined as cyclic heavy vaginal bleeding. Hormonal treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is also endorsed as the first line treatment in several international guidelines. The effects of these therapies on bleeding related quality of life are not well known. The aim of the present study is compare the effect of Estradiol Valerate/Dienogest (E2V/DNG), Levonorgestrel-Intrauterine Device (LNG-IUD) and oral micronized progesterone treatment on bleeding pattern, cycle control, menopausal symptoms and patient satisfaction of women with HMB.

Iron deficiency anemia affects over half of girls and young women with heavy periods and is the most common cause of anemia worldwide. Most girls with heavy periods who also have iron deficiency anemia are prescribed iron to take by mouth every day by their doctor. There are some studies showing that taking iron every other day may actually help the iron be absorbed into the bloodstream better. This study is trying to compare how taking iron every other day compares to taking iron daily for treatment of anemia. The goal of this clinical research study is to learn which of the two methods of care will be the best way for girls and young women with iron deficiency anemia to take iron supplementation.

Understudied drugs will be administered to children per standard of care as prescribed by their treating caregiver and only biological sample collection during the time of drug administration will be involved. A total of approximately 7000 children aged <21 years who are receiving these drugs for standard of care will be enrolled and will be followed for up a maximum of 90 days. The goal of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics of understudied drugs for which specific dosing recommendations and safety data are lacking. The prescribing of drugs to children will not be part of this protocol. Taking advantage of procedures done as part of routine medical care (i.e. blood draws) this study will serve as a tool to better understand drug exposure in children receiving these drugs per standard of care. The data collected through this initiative will also provide valuable pharmacokinetic and dosing information of drugs in different pediatric age groups as well as special pediatric populations (i.e. obese).
