Comparative Sedation Study of the MyoSure Hysteroscopic Tissue Removal System

July 22, 2010 updated by: Hologic, Inc.

Interlace Medical Comparative Sedation Study

The purpose of this study is to develop a recommended local anesthetic protocol and post-treatment pain management regimen, in order to assure patient comfort during office-based treatment with the MyoSure Hysteroscopic Tissue Removal Device. Subject self-reported pain scores (as rated on an 11 point scale) will be compared at multiple time intervals between all treatment groups.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Forty subjects will be enrolled in a randomized, controlled study conducted at four physician offices or day surgery settings. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to a local anesthetic group (Group #1 or Group #2). Subjects will undergo a hysteroscopic tissue removal procedure to remove intrauterine polyps, type 0 fibroids, or type I fibroids. Subsequent to the procedure, subjects will be randomized 1:1 within the local anesthetic group to a post procedure pain management group (Group A or Group B). Subject self-reported pain scores (as rated on an 11 point scale)will be compared at three time points: Immediately post procedure, prior to discharge from the treatment facility, and at 48 hours post procedure.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 65 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

EXPERIMENTAL: Cervical Block, 6 injection sites
Subject will receive a cervical block of 1% lidocaine and 0.25% bupivacaine, with injections in the following locations: 2cc at 12:00, 10cc at 3:00, 10 cc at 9:00, 5 cc at 4:00, 5 cc at 8:00, and 5 cc at 6:00.
Device: Hysteroscopic Morcellator
The MyoSure Tissue Removal Device consists of a hand-held tissue removal device comprising a mechanical drive assembly connected to a drive cable and associated control box on one end, and a 3 mm shaft on the other end of the device. The shaft is approximately 12 cm long and equipped with an open channel that houses an oscillating blade.When the side channel is exposed to target tissue and the motor is activated, the oscillating blade will cut the tissue within the channel. Once cut, the tissue travels down the center of the 3mm shaft via suction coupled to the proximal end of the tissue removal device, and is trapped in a vacutainer bottle.
