  Purpose

CavatermTM is a second-generation thermal balloon ablation device in the management of menorrhagia. The purpose of this study is to investigate the success (questionnaire) of CavatermTM dependent on uterus probe length, especially corpus probe length, which is measured during surgery.


Condition Intervention Phase
Menorrhagia
 Device: Thermal Balloon Endometrial Ablation
 Phase 4

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Chances for Success of CavatermTM Surgery as a Function of Uterus Probe Length, a Questionnaire Investigation on 290 Patients

Further study details as provided by Medical University of Vienna:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Postsurgical change in bleeding patterns dependent on cavum probe length. [ Time Frame: Corpus probe length will be measured during surgery, a questionnaire will be sent in September 2010, at least after one postsurgical year. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Success is defined as a-, hypo- or eumenorrhoea, regular cycle, reduction of dysmenorrhoea.

  • Postsurgical change in patient satisfaction dependent on cavum probe length. [ Time Frame: Corpus probe length will be measured during surgery, a questionnaire will be sent in September 2010, at least after one postsurgical year. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The questionnaire will ask for satisfaction and recommendation to the best friend.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Postsurgical change in dyspareunia [ Time Frame: A questionnaire will be sent in September 2010, at least after one postsurgical year. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The questionnaire will ask for pre- and postsurgical dyspareunia.

  • Postsurgical change in Premenstrual Syndrome [ Time Frame: A questionnaire will be sent in September 2010, at least after one postsurgical year. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The questionnaire will ask for pre- and postsurgical Premestrual Syndrome.

  • Prevention of further gynaecological therapies [ Time Frame: A questionnaire will be sent in September 2010, at least after one postsurgical year. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The questionnaire will ask for postsurgical hysterectomy and further medications.

  • Improvement of quality of life [ Time Frame: A questionnaire will be sent in September 2010, at least after one postsurgical year. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The questionnaire will ask for postsurgical quality of life.
