Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the effectiveness of Dienogest with medroxyprogesterone acetate in the treatment of pelvic pain and recurrence of endometriosis after laparoscopic surgery
Design
Study Design: Single blinded phase 3 randomized clinical trial with parallel groups Study groups: 130 eligible women with endometriosis who underwent laparoscopic surgery will be randomly divided into two groups via the block randomization method.
Settings and conduct
After obtaining written consent, a questionnaire containing the required information, blood test, and vaginal ultrasound will be performed for eligible individuals. Dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and pelvic pain will be measured with a visual analog scale (VAS). Participants will be randomly divided into two groups: dienogest and medroxyprogesterone acetate. Three months after the intervention, pain, and side effects in both groups will be measured via VAS and a questionnaire. Six months after the intervention, the outcome variables will be re-assessed. The researcher and statistician will be unaware of how the interventions are allocated.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
In this study, women aged 18 to 45 years with a laparoscopically confirmed endometriosis will be included. In the case of pregnancy, lactation, amenorrhea, vaginal bleeding, progesterone contraindication, oophorectomy, or hysterectomy during the study and use of some drugs (is described in the relevant section) will be excluded from the study.
Intervention groups
Group 1: Dienogest tablets will be taken daily for 3 months and then cyclically for the next 3 months (every month from day 10 of the cycle for 2 weeks) Group 2: Medroxyprogesterone acetate 10 mg twice daily for 3 months and then cyclically for the next 3 months (every month from day 10 of the cycle for 2 weeks)
Main outcome variables
Recurrence of endometriosis; Pelvic pain; Dysmenorrhea; Dyspareunia; side effects

Sample size
Target sample size: 130
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Block randomization method will be designed by an epidemiologist using STATA version 13 software. The size of blocks considered will be 4.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
The randomization list will be solely available to the epidemiologist. To hide the random allocation process, 130 card sequences of treatments will be written accordingly, and then the cards will be placed inside sealed envelopes. A 10-digit random code will be written on each packet as the patient's identification number. When the physician announces the eligibility of a patient, the nurse will provide the envelope and the type of treatment will be selected based on the type mentioned in the envelope. Data analysis will be performed by a statistician who is unaware of all processes performed.
