ABSTRACT
Background: It is known that plasma concentrations of antidiuretic hormone or vasopressin are higher in women with primary dysmenorrhea (DiPr) and could cause water retention with concomitant signs and symptoms that aggravate the illness. Monotherapy with NSAIDs sometimes achieves only partial relief because it does not affect vasopressin.Objective: The aim was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of dexketoprofen + pamabrom in DiPr taking as reference acetaminophen.
Materials and methods: Double-blind, controlled, randomized study in patients with DiPr random to 1) Case group (PD): dexketoprofen + pamabrom or 2) Control group (CA): acetaminophen. The evolution of pain intensity, pain relief, severity of other present symptoms and overall satisfaction of the doctor and patient were evaluated. Adverse reactions were recorded.
Results: 172 patients were randomized, 86 in each group. The decrease in pain intensity, accompanying symptoms and pain relief evaluated by VAS, PID, SPID, PAR and TOTPAR respectively is significantly greater and faster at all times for the combination DP. Adverse reactions were minimal. The overall satisfaction of patients and doctors regarding treatment is significant in favor of the DP combination.
Conclusions: Dexketoprofen + pamabrom is significantly more effective and faster in the control of pain and other symptoms present in primary dysmenorrhea than acetaminophen demonstrating the validity of adding a mild diuretic to an NSAID to increase its effectiveness. DP treatment is well tolerated.
