Postoperative medical treatment of chronic pelvic pain related to severe endometriosis: levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system versus gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue
Open accessAbstract
Objective To compare efficacy of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS; Mirena) with depot GnRH analogue (GnRH-a; gosareline acetate; Zoladex) on endometriosis-related chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in patients with severe endometriosis during 12 months.Design Prospective, randomized, controlled study.Setting The reproductive endocrinology unit of a tertiary, research and education hospital.Patient(s) Forty women with severe endometriosis (revised The American Fertility Society [AFS] classification >40) and endometriosis-related CPP and control groups were enrolled in the study.Intervention(s) The patients were treated with either LNG-IUS (n = 20) or GnRH-a (n = 20). The GnRH-a dose was repeated every 4 weeks for 24 weeks.Main outcome measure(s) Scores of CPP were evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and total endometriosis severity profile (TESP).Result(s) The TESP score decreased in the LNG-IUS group at first, third, and sixth month follow-up visits, whereas at the 12th month follow-up visit, the TESP scores were increased to values similar to pretreatment values. Although the VAS score had no significant alteration during the follow-up period in the LNG-IUS group, the GnRH-a group showed a significant decrease in the VAS score and TESP score at the end of 1 year. The LNG-IUS treatment showed a lower patient satisfaction.Conclusion(s) Both treatment modalities showed comparable effectiveness in the treatment of CPP-related endometriosis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
