Continuous use of an oral contraceptive for endometriosis-associated recurrent dysmenorrhea that does not respond to a cyclic pill regimen
Open accessAbstract
Objective To ascertain whether long-term reduction of pain is obtained by continuous administration of an oral contraceptive (OC) in women with endometriosis-associated recurrent dysmenorrhea that does not respond to cyclic OC use.Design Prospective, therapeutic, self-controlled clinical trial.Setting A tertiary care and referral center for patients with endometriosis.Patient(s) Fifty women who underwent surgery for endometriosis in the previous year and experienced recurrent dysmenorrhea despite cyclic OC use.Intervention(s) Continuous use of an OC containing ethinyl estradiol (0.02 mg) and desogestrel (0.15 mg) for 2 years.Main outcome measure(s) Dysmenorrhea variation during cyclic and continuous OC use, evaluated with a 100-mm visual analog scale and a 0- to 3-point verbal rating scale, and degree of satisfaction with continuous OC treatment.Result(s) In the study period, amenorrhea, spotting, and breakthrough bleeding were reported by 19 (38%), 18 (36%), and 13 (26%) women. The mean +/- SD number of >7-day bleeding episodes with consequent 7-day OC suspension was 5.5 +/- 2.1. The mean +/- SD dysmenorrhea visual analog scale and verbal rating scale scores were 75 +/- 13 and 2.4 +/- 0.5 at baseline and 31 +/- 17 and 0.7 +/- 0.6 at 2-year follow-up, respectively. Moderate or severe side effects were reported by 7/50 (14%) women. At final evaluation, 13 (26%) women were very satisfied, 27 (54%) were satisfied, 1 (2%) was uncertain, 8 (16%) were dissatisfied, and 1 (2%) was very dissatisfied.Conclusion(s) Long-term continuous OC use can be proposed to women with symptomatic endometriosis and menstruation-related pain symptoms.

“In particular, the continuous use of OC is suggested to achieve amenorrhea and relieve pain at withdrawal bleeding that may still afflict endometriosis patients using OC cyclically (32,33).”

In the citing paper
“Theoretically, the ''regression toward the mean'' phenomenon could have affected the observed data, because extreme values are frequently influenced by random variation and when remeasured they tend to be closer to the mean of the original population from which the study subjects were drawn (32,63).”

“Therefore, when the patients' conditions are worse than average and standard therapies seem to have lost efficacy, some general amelioration may occur that has nothing to do with improved treatment (32,63).”

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.
