Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of estradiol valerate plus dienogest (E(2)V/DNG) versus ethinylestradiol plus levonorgestrel (EE/LNG) in reducing dysmenorrheic pain in women aged 14-50.
- During the trial, 507 women were randomized to take either treatment for three 28-day cycles, with their pain levels recorded daily.
- Results showed that both treatments significantly reduced the number of days with pain, but the difference in outcomes was not statistically significant (P = 0.34).
