About this study

Study participants will be randomly assigned to Test or Control group and the following schedule will be followed

Test group: metronidazole tablets + doxycycline hyclate tablets simulant are consecutively taken for 14 days, while Fuke Qianjin capsule is consecutively taken for 28 days.

Control group: metronidazole tablets + doxycycline hyclate tablets, are consecutively taken for 14 days, while Fuke Qianjin capsule simulation is consecutively taken for 28 days.

Fuke Qianjin Capsules and their simulants are taken as 2 capsules at a time, 3 times a day, orally after breakfast, lunch and dinner, respectively; Metronidazole Tablets are taken as 2 tablets (0.2 g/tablet) at a time, twice a day, at the same time as breakfast and dinner, respectively; Doxycycline Hyclate Tablet and their simulants are taken as 1 tablet (0.1 g/tablet, Doxycycline Hyclate Tablet calculated as C22H24N2O8) at a time, twice a day, at the same time as breakfast and dinner, respectively.

Scoring pain, symptoms, local signs, routine leucorrhea, cervical secretions, gynaecological B-ultrasound will be examined before the enrollment and after study completion.

Other names: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Test group

Drug

metronidazole tablets + doxycycline hyclate tablets simulant are consecutively taken for 14 days, while Fuke Qianjin capsule is consecutively taken for 28 days.

Primary outcomes

  1. Improvement in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain assessment

    Time frame: after 28 days of treatment

    Applying the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) i.e. 0-10 Numeric Pain Intensity Scale on a 10 cm line segment the pain will be assessed as 0 is painless, 10 is extremely painful. Patients will mark in the corresponding position according to the degree of pain, and the researcher will give a specific score. The grading criteria of Pelvic pain with VAS score will be, normal: 0 cm; mild: 1-3 cm; moderate: 4-6 cm; severe: 7-10 cm.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Assessment of changes in main clinical Symptom

    Time frame: after 28 days of treatment

    Main Clinical symptoms including Lower abdominal pain (Score 0 points: No Pain, 2 points: Mild, 4 points: Moderate and 6 points: Severe ), Lumbosacral pain (Score 0 points: No Pain, 2 points: Mild, 4 points: Moderate and 6 points: Severe ) and Yellow leucorrhea (Score 0 points: Normal, 2 points: light yellow, 4 points: yellow discharge and 6 points: Yellowish green as pus),

  2. gynaecological B-ultrasound

    Time frame: after 28 days of treatment

    Change in the maximum area of pelvic effusion

Other outcomes

  1. Labaratory Examination

    Time frame: at day 0, 14 and after 28 days of treatment

    Routine blood tests for liver function (alanine aminotransferase ALT, aspartate aminotransferase AST, γ-glutamyltransferase GGT, alkaline phosphatase ALP, total bilirubin T.BIL); Blood routine (WBC, RBC, HB, PLT, NEU%, LYM%, MONO%, EOS%); Urine routine (LEU, ERY, PRO, GLU, pH, KET); Liver function (AST, ALT, TBiL, ALP, GMT, LDH, AMS); Renal function (BUN, Cr, UA); Electrolytes(Na+, K+, Cl-, Ca+).

  2. Vital signs examination

    Time frame: at day 0, 14 and after 28 days of treatment

    Blood Pressure Monitoring (Both systolic and diastolic), Body Temperature, Pulse rate, Respiratory Rate

  3. Electrocardiogram

    Time frame: at day 0, 14 and after 28 days of treatment
