OBJECTIVE: To project the efficacy and economic consequence of short-term intranasal gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) for diagnosis of and therapy for endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: Multicenter, placebo-controlled clinical tria…
OBJECTIVE: To draw attention to the structural features of adhesions associated with pelvic endometriosis since they are less well studied than endometriosis proper. STUDY DESIGN: Sixty-two samples of periovarian adhesions were laparoscopic…
OBJECTIVE: To compare intranasal nafarelin and intramuscular leuprolide acetate (LA) depot in the management of endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: A multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-placebo, double-blind study was conducted on subject…
ObjectiveOur goal was to determine the effects of a repeated course of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist nafarelin on symptoms and signs of endometriosis and lumbar and distal radius bone mineral density.Study designForty-five wome…
ObjectiveOur purpose was to investigate the effects of nafarelin on bone turnover and mass (bone mineral density, in grams per square centimeter) in women with endometriosis.Study designWe monitored 22 young women with endometriosis during …
Clinical trials are under way to investigate the optimal use of nafarelin. In one series of studies, the effect of nasal mucosal inflammation and the concomitant use of nasal decongestants on the nasal absorption of nafarelin was evaluated …
The efficacy and safety of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist nafarelin for treatment of endometriosis were compared with those of danazol in two large-scale, double-blind trials. Assessments of severity of symptoms, laparoscopic sc…
Treatment with nafarelin, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, reversibly inhibits ovarian function and induces hypoestrogenemia. To determine the efficacy of such hormonal manipulation in the treatment of endometriosis, we randomly as…
Administration of superactive agonistic analogs of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) has been shown to induce a paradoxic and reversible suppression of gonadotropins, resulting in suppressed gonadal steroid concentrations. Because there…
In a double-blind, crossover study of 32 women with primary dysmenorrhea, the analgesic efficacy of naproxen sodium was compared to that of aspirin and placebo. The treatment started 1 to 5 days before the onset of menses and continued for …
In a double-blind parallel trial, 24 dysmenorrheic women received a single dose of Anaprox (1,100 mg) or placebo. Over the next 2 hours, pain intensity was scored and intrauterine pressure was measured using an immobilized microballoon. At …
Abstract. “In vitro” experimentation has shown that naproxen inhibits prostaglandin synthetase generated by uterine microsomes of pregnant rats. In another in vitro system, naproxen inhibited electrically induced contractions of an isolated…
The Prostaglandin-synthesis inhibitor: Naproxen-Sodium (NS) (an analgesic agent) very significantly (P less than 0.001) reduced the "resting" and "active" pressures and the frequency of cyclic uterine activity of 10 dysmenorrheic patients. …
An iv infusion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was given for 8 hr on 2-3 consecutive days to 7 normally cycling women during various periods of the luteal phase, and to 1 woman whose luteal phase was prolonged by hCG administration. Three women …
