Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Reduction in pelvic pain severity using a standardized pain scale (e.g., Visual Analog Scale - VAS), comparing pre-treatment and post-treatment scores. Change in grade of ENZIAN classification of Endometriosis assessed by MRI from baseline to three to six months. Reduction in size of leiomyoma lesion from baseline to three to six months assessed by abdominal ultrasound/TVUS. Reduction in size and grading of adenomyosis through TVUS using MUSA grading of uterine lesions. To evaluate improvements in menstrual bleeding patterns by measuring changes in menstrual blood loss (e.g., using a pictorial blood loss assessment chart or menstrual blood loss assessment), number of bleeding days, and clinical severity of menorrhagia.Timepoint: By the end of third month

Secondary
