Study summary

This study seeks to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the fixed dose combination of dexketoprofen/butylscopolamine compared to dexketoprofen for the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea in 130 mexican women.

Read the detailed description

The primary efficacy endpoint of this study was the assessment of intervention efficacy regarding pain intensity-measured via visual analogue scale (VAS) at 30 minutes and at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 24, 48, and 72 hours-to determine whether treatment with dexketoprofen/butylscopolamine resulted in a greater reduction in pain than dexketoprofen monotherapy. The primary safety endpoint involved describing, classifying, and comparing adverse events occurring during the study across treatment arms, based on their gravity, frequency, severity, and causality.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients participating in another clinical trial involving an treatment, or who have participated in one within the 2 weeks prior to the start of the study.
  2. Patients whose participation in the study could be influenced (employment relationship with the research center or sponsor, vulnerable populations, etc.).
  3. At the physician's discretion, a disease affecting prognosis and preventing outpatient management; this must be evaluated by the principal investigator to determine the appropriateness of the subject's inclusion in the study.
  4. History of a diagnosis of secondary dysmenorrhea (determined via direct questioning of the patient or transvaginal/pelvic ultrasound performed within the last 3 months).
  5. Allergy or to the study medications or any of their (dexketoprofen and butylscopolamine).

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Ran from Jul 2025 to primary completion in May 2026, 10 months.

Of 17 phase 3 interventional studies under Dysmenorrhea, half reached primary completion within 28 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 19 and three quarters within 30. This study's 10 months is below that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
