Introduction: The common treatment for uterine myomas used by most physicians is hysterectomy and myomectomy. Given that the use of decapeptyl, letrozole, and cabergoline has not been evaluated as a single agent for the treatment of uterine myomas, the present study was conducted with aim to evaluate the use of these drugs in the treatment of uterine leiomyoma.
Methods: This randomized clinical trial study was conducted in 2021-2022 on 75 patients with uterine myoma referred to the Gynecology Clinic of Akbarabadi Hospital, Tehran. The patients were divided into three groups (n=25 per group). The first group was given letrozole at a dose of 2.5 mg daily, the second group was given cabergoline at a dose of 0.5 mg weekly, and the third group was given GnRH agonists. The hemoglobin levels and menstrual bleeding patterns were obtained through complete blood cell count and interviews with the patients, respectively, and finally the size of the myoma and its changes were examined through ultrasound. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 22) and Chi-square, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and Bonferroni post hoc tests. P<0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The mean hemoglobin in the group receiving cabergoline was higher compared to the other two groups, which was statistically significant (p=0.001). In terms of drug-related complications, hot flashes were more common in the group receiving decapeptyl, muscle pain was higher in the group receiving letrozole, and headache, nausea, and anorexia were higher in the group receiving cabergoline compared to the other groups, which were no statistically significant (p=0.8). There was also a significant difference among the three groups in menstrual bleeding pattern and reduction in myoma size (p=0.01).
Conclusion: Using cabergoline compared to other drugs has better results in the treatment of patients in terms of reducing the size of myoma and increasing hemoglobin.
