About this study

Official title: Quality of Life After Hysterectomy for Adenomyosis and Other Benign Gynecological Conditions

Adenomyosis is a disease where ectopic endometrial-like glands affect the muscular wall of the uterus. About 70% of women affected by adenomyosis suffer from dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia. A levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) is the first-choice treatment of adenomyosis, but is not always sufficiently effective in all women. Those women often end up removing the uterus (hysterectomy).

Hysterectomy is clinically regarded to be an efficient and final treatment of adenomyosis, but pelvic pain may also prevail after removal of the uterus. This study aimes to investigate the short - and long-term impact of hysterectomy on quality of life (QOL) and sexual function in women with adenomyosis, and further to evaluate if there is any difference compared to women that are removing their uterus due to other benign gynecological conditions.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The impact of hysterectomy on health related quality of life assessed by SF-36 sub scale bodily pain

    The Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) measures eight sub scales including bodily pain (BP) which in this study is used as primary outcome. The scales ranges from 0-100, a higher score indicates a better quality of life.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The impact of hysterectomy on health related quality of life assessed by SF-36 sub scales

    The Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) measures eight subscales. In this study seven sub scales is used as secondary outcomes: Physical functioning (PF), role physical (RP), general health (GH), vitality (VT), social functioning (SF), role emotional (RE) and mental health (MH). The scales ranges from 0-100, a higher score indicates a better quality of life.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. The impact of hysterectomy on health related quality of life assessed by SF-36 eight subscales

    The Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) measures eight scales: physical functioning (PF), role physical (RP), bodily pain (BP), general health (GH), vitality (VT), social functioning (SF), role emotional (RE), and mental health (MH). The scales ranges from 0-100, a higher score indicates a better quality of life.

    Measured: 5 years

  3. The impact of hysterectomy on sexual function assessed by FSFI

    The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) use a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1-5 with higher scores indicating greater levels of sexual functioning. To score the measure the sum of each domain score (sexual desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain) is multiplied by a domain factor and summed to derive a total FSFI score.

    Measured: 1 year

    The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) use a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1-5 with higher scores indicating greater levels of sexual functioning. To score the measure the sum of each domain score (sexual desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain) is multiplied by a domain factor and summed to derive a total FSFI score.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adenomyosis and Quality of Life, run by Oslo University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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?

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Norway. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

The impact of hysterectomy on health related quality of life assessed by SF-36 sub scale bodily pain (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 19 Apr 2024.
