Introduction: Pain is the cardinal symptom in women living with primary dysmenorrhea (PDM), resulting in a relentless negative effect on their quality of life. Women with PDM have higher levels of prostaglandin in their endometrial fluid, which correlates with the degree of pain. The standard of care treatment for pain associated with PDM starts with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that block prostaglandin-triggering enzymes. Although NSAIDs are a feasible option, they are also associated with a significant risk of side effects. Around 20 to 25% of patients will experience pain refractory to NSAIDs and seek alternative therapies. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a well-tolerated potential therapy for several chronic diseases, including pain, and acts by blocking prostaglandin-triggering enzymes, similar to NSAIDs. The safety of CBD is well established, with the advantage of acting via central and peripheral mechanisms. To date, no previous trials assessing CBD alone for dysmenorrhea have been conducted. Objective: To evaluate the effect of CBD alone in reducing acute menstrual pain compared to ibuprofen, as assessed by the total pain relief (TOTPAR) scale. Design: Randomized (with random block sizes), triple-blinded, multicenter, parallel-group, non-inferiority clinical trial. Participants: PDM patients aged 18 to 40 years, with regular menstrual cycles (ranging from 21 to 35 days) and a visual analog scale (VAS) score of ≥ 5.

简介:疼痛是原发性痛经(PDM)女性的主要症状,对她们的生活质量产生了无情的负面影响。患有PDM的女性子宫内膜液中前列腺素水平较高,这与疼痛程度有关。PDM相关疼痛的标准治疗开始于非甾体抗炎药(NSAIDs),阻断前列腺素触发酶。尽管非甾体抗炎药是一种可行的选择,但它们也有显著的副作用风险。大约20%到25%的患者会对非甾体抗炎药产生难治性疼痛,并寻求替代疗法。大麻二酚(CBD)是一种耐受性良好的潜在治疗多种慢性疾病,包括疼痛,并通过阻断前列腺素触发酶起作用,类似于非甾体抗炎药。CBD的安全性是公认的,具有通过中枢和外周机制起作用的优势。迄今为止,还没有单独评估CBD治疗痛经的试验。目的:通过总疼痛缓解(TOTPAR)量表评估CBD与布洛芬在减轻急性经期疼痛方面的效果。设计:随机(随机分组大小)、三盲、多中心、平行组、非劣效性临床试验。参与者:年龄18 - 40岁,月经周期正常(21 - 35天),视觉模拟评分(VAS)评分≥5的PDM患者。学术编辑:Felipe Fregni同行评审:Natalia Suarez;Giovani淀粉;Magali Andrea Pestana;路易斯·莫拉莱斯·奥赫达。版权所有:©2022作者所有。知识共享署名(CC BY)许可(https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)。

Introduction: Run-In (RI) periods can be used to improve the validity of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), but their utility in Chronic Pain (CP) RCTs is debated. Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) methods are commonly used in evaluating the results of RCTs, but they are seldom used for designing RCTs. We present a step-by-step overview to objectively design RCTs via CEA methods and specifically determine the cost effectiveness of a RI period in a CP RCT.

Methods: We applied the CEA methodology to data obtained from several noninvasive brain stimulation CP RCTs, specifically focusing on (1) defining the CEA research question, (2) identifying RCT phases and cost ingredients, (3) discounting, (4) modeling the stochastic nature of the RCT, and (5) performing sensitivity analyses. We assessed the average cost-effectiveness ratios and incremental cost effectiveness ratios of varied RCT designs and the impact on cost-effectiveness by the inclusion of a RI period vs. No-Run-In (NRI) period.

Results: We demonstrated the potential impact of varying the number of institutions, number of patients that could be accommodated per institution, cost and effectiveness discounts, RCT component costs, and patient adherence characteristics on varied RI and NRI RCT designs. In the specific CP RCT designs that we analyzed, we demonstrated that lower patient adherence, lower baseline assessment costs, and higher treatment costs all necessitated the inclusion of an RI period to be cost-effective compared to NRI RCT designs.

Conclusions: Clinical trialists can optimize CP RCT study designs and make informed decisions regarding RI period inclusion/exclusion via CEA methods.

导读:磨合期(RI)可用于提高随机对照试验(rct)的有效性,但其在慢性疼痛(CP) rct中的应用仍存在争议。成本-效果分析(CEA)方法是评价随机对照试验结果的常用方法,但很少用于随机对照试验的设计。我们通过CEA方法逐步概述客观设计RCT,并具体确定CP RCT中RI期的成本效益。方法:我们将CEA方法应用于从几个无创脑刺激CP随机对照试验中获得的数据,特别关注(1)定义CEA研究问题,(2)确定RCT阶段和成本成分,(3)贴现,(4)模拟RCT的随机性质,(5)进行敏感性分析。我们评估了不同RCT设计的平均成本-效果比和增量成本-效果比,以及纳入RI期和非磨合期(NRI)对成本-效果的影响。结果:我们展示了不同机构数量、每个机构可容纳的患者数量、成本和有效性折扣、RCT组件成本和患者依从性特征对不同RI和NRI RCT设计的潜在影响。在我们分析的特定CP RCT设计中,我们证明,与NRI RCT设计相比,较低的患者依从性、较低的基线评估成本和较高的治疗成本都需要纳入RI期以达到成本效益。结论:临床试验人员可以优化CP RCT研究设计,并通过CEA方法对RI期的纳入/排除做出明智的决定。
