Number of Trial Participants With Reduction in Menstrual Bleeding (PBLAC Score of ≤75) Primary · Month 12 post-procedure

The primary effectiveness endpoint is a clinical change in menstrual blood loss as assessed by the Pictorial Blood Loss Assessment Chart (PBLAC) data, a validated, patient self-reported menstrual diary scoring system. Success for the primary effectiveness endpoint was defined as reduction in menstrual bleeding to a PBLAC (Pictorial Blood Loss Assessment Chart) score of ≤75. Scale information for PBLAC (Pictorial Blood Loss Assessment Chart): The scale minimum is 0, which indicates amenorrhea, i.e., no bleeding. There is no scale maximum. A score of 100 indicates eumenorrhea, i.e., normal men
