简要总结
The aim of this study was to determine whether misoprostol administered 12 hours before office hysteroscopy can relieve pain more effectively compared with misoprostol administered 3 hours before office hysteroscopy.
详细描述
The interval between misoprostol administration and office hysteroscopy may have an influence on its effectiveness in pain reduction. There are limited data on the optimal interval from administration of misoprostol and office hysteroscopy. In previous studies, time interval from administration of misoprostol and office hysteroscopy ranged between 2 hours and 24 hours.
Till now no studies have yet investigated the optimal timing of misoprostol administration prior to office hysteroscopy or operative hysteroscopy. The aim of this study was to determine whether misoprostol administered 12 hours before office hysteroscopy can relieve pain more effectively compared with misoprostol administered 3 hours before office hysteroscopy

研究组 & 干预措施
Long interval misoprostol
A small envelope including two labeled plastic bags (A & B) (each bag containing either 2 misoprostol tablets(400µg) or 2 identically appearing placebo tablets) will be packaged in sequentially numbered sealed envelopes. In long interval misoprostol group, bag (A) contains misoprostol tablets and bag (B) contains placebo tablets. After signing the informed consent, the sequentially numbered sealed envelopes will be opened (according to the sequence of attendance of the patient) by the study nurse. Tablets in bag (A) will be inserted 12 hours before office hysteroscopy and tablets in bag (B) will be inserted 3 hours before office hysteroscopy.
干预措施: Long interval misoprostol (Drug)
Short interval misoprostol
A small envelope including two labeled plastic bags (A& B) (each bag containing either 2 misoprostol tablets(400µg) or 2 identically appearing placebo tablets) will be packaged in sequentially numbered sealed envelopes. In short interval misoprostol group, bag (A) contains placebo tablets and bag (B) contains misoprostol tablets. After signing the informed consent, the sequentially numbered sealed envelopes will be opened (according to the sequence of attendance of the patient) by the study nurse. Tablets in bag (A) will be inserted 12 hours before office hysteroscopy and tablets in bag (B) will be inserted 3 hours before office hysteroscopy.
干预措施: Short interval misoprostol (Drug)
