OBJECTIVE: In this post hoc analysis, we evaluated the impact of elagolix on dysmenorrhea and nonmenstrual pelvic pain across menstrual period (bleeding days) and nonmenstrual (nonbleeding) days. METHODS: Data from two randomized, 6-month,…
BACKGROUND: Elagolix is an oral, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist, that significantly reduces dysmenorrhea and non-menstrual pelvic pain (NMPP) in women with moderate to severe endometriosis-associated pain. METHOD…
INTRODUCTION: Despite guidance towards minimally invasive, outpatient procedures for endometriosis, many patients nonetheless receive inpatient care. Our objective was to assess trends in patient and hospital characteristics, surgical compl…
OBJECTIVE: To examine opioid use, opioid prescribing patterns, and timing of the first opioid prescription in endometriosis patients compared with matched women in the control group without endometriosis. METHODS: We conducted a retrospect…
OBJECTIVE: To review the available clinical evidence on the use of combined hormonal contraceptive (CHC) agents (estrogen [E]-progestin combinations) for the treatment of endometriosis-related pain. DESIGN: A systematic review of the MEDLI…
BACKGROUND: We sought to evaluate the incidence and clinical impact of luteinizing hormone (LH) rises prior to and during gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist treatment started on day 5 or 6 of ovarian stimulation with recombina…
Continuous administration of the antiprogesterone RU486 inhibits ovulation in women and in monkeys; in this regard RU486 may act as a progestin agonist rather than as an antagonist. We compared the site(s) and mechanism(s) of RU486-induced …
