结局指标
主要结局
The change from baseline in the numerical rating scale (NRS) score on the worst pain
时间窗: The menstruation period of Cycle 1, Cycle 2, Cycle 3, Cycle 4, Cycle 5 and Cycle 6 (each cycle is 24-38 days)]
Participants will rate their worst pain during menstruation period of each menstrual cycle on a 0-10 NRS scale, where 0 refers to no pain and 10 refers to the worst pain imaginable. The highest worst pain score of the each cycle will be taken as final NRS score on the worst pain.
次要结局
- The change from baseline in the numerical rating scale (NRS) score on the average pain(The menstruation period of Cycle 1, Cycle 2, Cycle 3, Cycle 4, Cycle 5, Cycle 6 and Cycle 7 (each cycle is 24-38 days)])
- The change from baseline in the numerical rating scale (NRS) score on the worst pain.(The menstruation period of Cycle 1, Cycle 4 and Cycle 7 (each cycle is 24-38 days)])
- The change from baseline in the Pictorial Blood Loss Assessment Chart (PBAC) score.(The menstruation period of Cycle 1, Cycle 2, Cycle 3, Cycle 4, Cycle 5, Cycle 6 and Cycle 7 (each cycle is 24-38 days)])
- The change from baseline in the the Cox Menstrual Symptom Scale (CMSS).(The menstruation period of Cycle 1, Cycle 2, Cycle 3, Cycle 4, Cycle 5, Cycle 6 and Cycle 7 (each cycle is 24-38 days)])
- Proportion of participants with at least 30% reduction of numerical rating scale (NRS) score on average pain.(The menstruation period of Cycle 1, Cycle 2, Cycle 3, Cycle 4, Cycle 5, Cycle 6 and Cycle 7 (each cycle is 24-38 days)])
- Proportion of participants with at least 30% reduction of numerical rating scale (NRS) score on the worst pain.(The menstruation period of Cycle 1, Cycle 2, Cycle 3, Cycle 4, Cycle 5, Cycle 6 and Cycle 7 (each cycle is 24-38 days)])
- The change from baseline in the Short Form Endometriosis Health Profile Questionnaire (EHP-5).(The last week of Cycle 1, Cycle 2, Cycle 3, Cycle 4, Cycle 5, Cycle 6 and Cycle 7 (each cycle is 24-38 days)])
- The change from baseline in the total and sub scores of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).(The last week of Cycle 1, Cycle 2, Cycle 3, Cycle 4, Cycle 5, Cycle 6 and Cycle 7 (each cycle is 24-38 days)])
