Conditions
Dysmenorrhea
Endometriosis
Interventions
Other: placebo
Dietary Supplement: Propolis
Registration Number
NCT05770297
Lead Sponsor
Indonesia University
Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of propolis administration on dysmenorrhea in endometriosis patient. the main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does the propolis administration reduce symptoms of dysmenorrhea in endometriosis?

* Does the propolis administration reduce the amount of oxidative stress biomarkers in endometriosis?

* Does the propolis administration reduce the amount of Inflammatory biomarkers in endometriosis?

Participants will be given an intervention in the form of propolis at a dose of 1 drop per 10 kilogram of body weight per administration, twice a day. there will be a control group that will be given an intervention in the form of a placebo containing 70% caramel alcohol dye solution.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Malondialdehyde (MDA)week 12

blood biochemical test for oxidative stress biomarker from lipid peroxidation product, using ng/mL numeric scale

tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alfa)week 12

will test the outcome with ELISA test for inflammatory biomarker, using ng/mL numeric scale

Glutathioneweek 12

measure the outcome with blood biochemical test using spectrofotometri in µg/mL numeric scale

8-hydroxy-2-deoxyiguanosine (8-OHdG)week 12

measure the outcome with ELISA from blood sample in ng/mL numeric scale

interleukin 6week 12

will test the outcome with ELISA test from blood sample for inflammatory biomarker, using ng/mL numeric scale

Superoxide dismutase (SOD)week 12

blood biochemical test for oxidative stress biomarker from lipid peroxidation product, using nmol/mLnumeric scale

pain scaleweek 12

to measure the outcome, the investigators use Visual Analogue Scale for measure the pain from the subject, from 0 to 10. The scale consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 ('no pain') and 10 ('pain as bad as it could possibly be'). the subject will be asked to rate their current level of pain by placing a mark on the line.
