E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Uncomplicated cystitis is considered to be a mild condition and mostly self-limiting. Currently, the majority of patients are treated with antibiotics, which are known to give a quick relief of symptoms and shorten the course of the condition by a few days. The aim of this study is to evaluate ibuprofen versus mecillinam in the treatment of uncomplicated cystitis in otherwise healthy, non-pregnant women. Our main objective is to assess whether symptomatic treatment with ibuprofen is equally effective as the treatment with mecillinam. |
Selv om ukompliceret cystitis er en mild tilstand og i mange tilfælde går over af sig selv, bliver størstedelen af patienterne behandlet med antibiotika. Formålet med denne undersøgelse er at evaluere ibuprofen versus mecillinam til behandlingen af ukompliceret cystitis hos voksne, ikke-gravide kvinder. Hovedformålet er at vurdere, om behandling med ibuprofen er lige så effektiv som behandling med mecillinam. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Are there more complications in the ibuprofen group compared to the mecillinam group? Are there more positive urine cultures in the ibuprofen group after two weeks? |
Er der mere komplikationer i ibuprofen gruppen sammenlignet med mecillinam gruppen? Er der mere positiv urin kulturer i ibuprofen gruppen efter to uger? |
