About this trial

This study is a randomized, controlled, non-inferiority trial, that will be performed on 192 women on Menopause (absence of menstruation for at least 12 months), with diagnostic of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (SGM) and a vaginal health index \<15 points, that are sexually active.

Patients will be randomized 1:1, equal number assigned to each of the two treatment groups, to receive treatment with two dose of Cellular Matrix / A-CP-HA Kit (a combination of autologous platelet-rich plasma and non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid) separated for a month, and control group that will receive the standard treatment for SGM, local estrogen therapy (Blissel, estriol 50 micrograms/g vaginal gel).

Both groups will be follow-up for 3 and 6 month afther treatment, a blind observer will assess the application of the validated scale (VHIS, VHI), and the investigators will do the FSD, symptom record, maturation index, follow-up photography and evaluation of adverse events and treatment compliance and adherence.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Cellular Matrix / A-CP-HA Kit

    Drug

    For infiltration, a prior preparation of the region with anesthetic cream is performed, procaine 25 mg/g + lidocaine 25 mg/g (Emla 5% cream) in the vulvar area and vaginal introitus. Occlusion of the area with plastic film is performed for 20 minutes. After asepsis and antisepsis, infiltration is performed with mesotherapy needles 31G 4mm, using the technique of superficial "point-to-point" mesotherapy microinjections, in the vestibule and the first 3 cm of the posterior wall of the vagina.

  • Local estrogen therapy (Blissel, estriol 50 micrograms/g vaginal gel)

    Drug

    Blissel®, Estriol vaginal gel 50 micrograms/g, daily application for 15-21 days in a row, then two times a week for 24 weeks (6 months). Application instructions will be explained to the patients.
