Trial Outcomes & Findings for Onabotulinumtoxin A Versus Kenalog for Chronic Pelvic Pain (NCT NCT02369068)

NCT ID: NCT02369068

Last Updated: 2019-07-24

Results Overview

The visual analog scale asks subjects to rate their level of pain on a scale from 0-10, with 0 being 'No pain' and 10 being 'Worst pain imaginable', hence lower scores are better. The baseline and follow-up visual analog scale for pain was obtained at every visit regardless if the patient received Trigger Point Injections. The difference between visual analog scale at 1 month and the visual analog scale at baseline was calculated. Positive numbers indicate the pain increased from baseline to 1 month and negative numbers indicates that pain decreased.

Onabotulinumtoxin A
Intervention is a one time 30 cc intravaginal injection totaling a dose of 200u of onabotulinumtoxin A and saline injected throughout the pelvic floor at 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 o'clock sites/locations. An injection of 30 cc of ropivicaine (5cc/6 sites) will be used, followed by a mixture of 200 u of Onabotulinumtoxin A and 6 cc of saline (1cc/injection site).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and One Month

Pain severity was constructed by averaging questions 3,4,5 and 6 of the brief pain inventory questionnaire (adding scores together and dividing by 4). Each question is on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). Thus, lower numbers represent a better outcome. The difference between pain severity at 1 month and the pain severity at baseline was calculated. Positive numbers indicate the pain severity increased from baseline to 1 month and negative numbers indicates that the severity of the pain decreased.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and One Month

The Pain Interference score was constructed by averaging the individual interference question scores from the brief pain inventory questionnaire (adding scores from questions 9A-9G and dividing by 7). The questions assess how, during the past 24 hours, pain has interfered with general anxiety (9A), mood (9B), walking ability (9C), normal work (9D), relations with other people (9E), sleep (9F), and enjoyment of life (9G). Each question is scored on a scale from 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes). Thus, a lower value represents a better outcome. The difference between pain interference at 1 month and the pain interference at baseline was calculated. Positive numbers indicate the pain severity increased from baseline to 1 month and negative numbers indicates that the severity of the pain decreased.

Timeframe: Baseline and One Month

The GRA questionnaire asks subjects to rate symptoms and functioning since having the research procedure, Trigger Point Injections (TPI). Question 2 asks the subject to rate their pain symptoms since having TPI. Scores are on a Likert scale, ranging from 1 (Markedly Worse) to 7 (Markedly Improved).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Three Months

Population: At 3 months, 9 subjects in the Onabotulinumtoxin A group completed the study and 8 completed in the Kenalog group. One subject in the Onabotulinumtoxin A did not have the pain assessed using the visual analog scale (missing data for this outcome, analysis conducted on 8 patients).

The visual analog scale asks subjects to rate their level of pain on a scale from 0-10, with 0 being 'No pain' and 10 being 'Worst pain imaginable', hence lower scores are better. The baseline and follow-up visual analog scale for pain was obtained at every visit regardless if the patient received Trigger Point Injections.

Timeframe: Baseline and Six Months

The pain visual analog scale (VAS) is a tool used by the patient to describe their pain intensity. Utilizing the VAS, the patient describes their pain at baseline, before receiving trigger point injections. The VAS ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Thus, a lower value represents a better outcome.

Onabotulinumtoxin A
n=9 Participants
Intervention is a one time 30 cc intravaginal injection totaling a dose of 200u of onabotulinumtoxin A and saline injected throughout the pelvic floor at 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 o'clock sites/locations.
