Overview
Brief Summary
The study investigates four vaginal ring groups with respect to relief of primary dysmenorrhea, and should identify at least one vaginal ring that shows clinically relevant treatment efficacy in relief of primary dysmenorrhea.
Detailed Description
The study investigates four vaginal ring groups with respect to relief of primary dysmenorrhea, and should identify at least one vaginal ring that shows clinically relevant treatment efficacy in relief of primary dysmenorrhea. The intake of ibuprofen rescue medication and the impact on daily life is investigated: change from baseline data of these two variables will be compared between each of the four active ring groups, separately, and the placebo ring group. Furthermore, the study assesses the measurement characteristics and psychometric properties of a newly developed Dysmenorrhea Daily Dairy. Vaginal bleeding pattern and general safety and tolerability will also be evaluated.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline in Mean Menstrual Cramping Pain Score Through Cycle 2
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 29 to 56 (Cycle 2)
The Mean Menstrual Cramping Pain score was calculated as the average of the three highest daily menstrual cramping scores (item #3 of the Menstrual Distress Questionnaire: "Cramps") in the baseline cycle and treatment Cycle 2, respectively. The daily menstrual cramping pain score was based on five pain categories: none (0); mild (1); moderate (2); strong (3); and severe (4). In case of absence of withdrawal bleeding, or onset of menstruation, the mean of the three highest menstrual cramping pain scores recorded within Days 21-28 was used for analysis. The Mean Menstrual Cramping Pain Score in the baseline or subsequent cycles could range from 0 (none) to 4 (severe).
Secondary Outcomes
- Change From Baseline in Number of Ibuprofen Tablets Taken Through Cycle 2(Baseline and Day 29 to 56 (Cycle 2))
- Change From Baseline in Total Mean Impact Score Through Cycle 2(Baseline and Day 29 to 56 (Cycle 2))
- Change From Baseline in Number of Days of Ibuprofen Intake Through Cycle 2(Baseline and Day 29 to 56 (Cycle 2))
