What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Improvement in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain assessment
Time Frame: after 28 days of treatment
Applying the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) i.e. 0-10 Numeric Pain Intensity Scale on a 10 cm line segment the pain will be assessed as 0 is painless, 10 is extremely painful. Patients will mark in the corresponding position according to the degree of pain, and the researcher will give a specific score. The grading criteria of Pelvic pain with VAS score will be, normal: 0 cm; mild: 1-3 cm; moderate: 4-6 cm; severe: 7-10 cm.
after 28 days of treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Assessment of changes in main clinical Symptom
Time Frame: after 28 days of treatment
Main Clinical symptoms including Lower abdominal pain (Score 0 points: No Pain, 2 points: Mild, 4 points: Moderate and 6 points: Severe ), Lumbosacral pain (Score 0 points: No Pain, 2 points: Mild, 4 points: Moderate and 6 points: Severe ) and Yellow leucorrhea (Score 0 points: Normal, 2 points: light yellow, 4 points: yellow discharge and 6 points: Yellowish green as pus),
after 28 days of treatment

Time Frame: after 28 days of treatment
Change in the maximum area of pelvic effusion
after 28 days of treatment

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants.

Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Labaratory Examination
Time Frame: at day 0, 14 and after 28 days of treatment
