The cause of pain is unknown. In this study, it is aimed to compare efficiency of LNG-IUD (levonorgestrel releasing intrauterine vehicle system) and the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, naproxen sodium which are two current approaches in the management of endometriosis-related pain. <o:p> </o:p> </span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal"> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"> <span lang="TR" style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial Narrow"">Material and Methods: </span> </b> <span lang="TR" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow"">After approval of the Ethics Committee, 60 patients, who were operated with the pathology of endometriosis, were included in the study.It is divided into three groups and each group cotained 20 patients.They are named as the control group, the LNG-IUD group, and the naproxen sodium group. McGill pain questionnaire and pain questionnaire form were given to patients monthly. Patients were asked to fill out the forms using a visual analogue scale. Patients were followed-up monthly. <o:p> </o:p> </span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal"> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"> <span lang="TR" style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial Narrow"">Results: </span> </b> <span lang="TR" style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow"">As a result of the statistical tests applied, there was a significant decrease in the mean VAS score in the LNG- IUD patient group from 1st to the 6th months of treatment. Reduction of pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea was detected in the naproxen sodium group, but it did not differ the decrease in pain severity between months <o:p> </o:p> </span> </p> <p> <!--[if gte mso 9]> <xml> <o:DocumentProperties> <o:Revision>0 </o:Revision> <o:TotalTime>0 </o:TotalTime> <o:Pages>1 </o:Pages> <o:Words>223 </o:Words> <o:Characters>1277 </o:Characters> <o:Company>MKU </o:Company> <o:Lines>10 </o:Lines> <o:Paragraphs>2 </o:Paragraphs> <o:CharactersWithSpaces>1498 </o:CharactersWithSpaces> <o:Version>14.0 </o:Version> </o:DocumentProperties> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:RelyOnVML/> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml> <![endif]--> <!--[if gte mso 9]> <xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal </w:View> <w:Zoom>0 </w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false </w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false </w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false </w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>TR </w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>JA </w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE </w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:EnableOpenTypeKerning/> <w:DontFlipMirrorIndents/> <w:OverrideTableStyleHps/> </w:Compatibility> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr> </w:WordDocument> </xml> <![endif]--> <!--[if gte mso 9]> <xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true" DefSemiHidden="true" DefQFormat="false" DefPriority="99" LatentStyleCount="276"> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="0" SemiHidden="false" UnhideWhenUsed="false" QFormat="true" Name="Normal"/> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="9" SemiHidden="false" UnhideWhenUsed="false" QFormat="true" Name="heading 1"/> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="9" QFormat="true" Name="heading 2"/> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="9" QFormat="true" Name="heading 3"/> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="9" QFormat="true" Name="heading 4"/> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="9" QFormat="true" Name="heading 5"/> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="9" QFormat="true" Name="heading 6"/> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="9" QFormat="true" Name="heading 7"/> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="9" QFormat="true" Name="heading 8"/> <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="9" QFormat="true" Name="heading 9"/> <w:LsdException Lock}, number={28}, publisher={Hatay Mustafa Kemal University}
