About this study
Official title: Cohort Study of Levonorgestrel-releasing Intrauterine System for the Treatment of Symptomatic Adenomyosis
Objective: To investigate the effects of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) for symptomatic adenomyosis.
Methods: From December, 2006 to December, 2014, symptomatic patients of adenomyosis diagnosed (with dysmenorrhea and/or menorrhea) by transvaginal ultrasound in outpatient or inpatient clinics of Peking Union Medical College Hospital were given the treatment of LNG-IUS. Before and after placement of LNG-IUS, during each following period, all the parameters were recorded prospectively, including carrying status of IUS, symptoms and scores of dysmenorrhea, menstruation scores, biochemical indicators, physical parameters, menstruation patterns and adverse effects.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Placement of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system in people with Adenomyosis, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
improvement of symptoms of adenomyosis assessed by change from baseline visual analogue scale at 5 years after placement of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (time frame: 5 years after placement of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03027648, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jan 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
