Trial Outcomes & Findings for Resveratrol for Pain Due to Endometriosis (NCT NCT02475564)

NCT ID: NCT02475564

Last Updated: 2016-10-14

Results Overview

Pain will be measured by VAS (visual analog scale) as baseline and at the end of the study, considering the last 7 days. VAS was used to measuring pain intensity, ranging continuously from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). The main outcome compared median pain levels between both arms on day 42.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 42 days

Population: Intention to treat analysis, patients who were lost on follow-up had their last registry on pain values or plasma levels measurements repeated in the following consultations.

Pain will be measured by VAS (visual analog scale) as baseline and at the end of the study, considering the last 7 days. VAS was used to measuring pain intensity, ranging continuously from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). The main outcome compared median pain levels between both arms on day 42.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 42 days

Population: One of subjects from the placebo group decided to leave the study after randomization, thus the n = 21 in the CA125 levels.

Serum levels of CA125 will be measured after 42 days of treatment in UI/mL. Median levels of CA125 were compared between both groups on day 42, and to baseline values (day 1).
