About this study

Official title: The Value of Using Platelet Rich Plasma After Hysteroscopic Lysis of Severe Intrauterine Adhesions (A Randomized Controlled Trial)

The aim of present study is to evaluate the effect of the use of platelet rich plasma in decreasing recurrence of intrauterine adhesions after its lysis.

Read the detailed description

Research question:

In women undergoing hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, does postoperative use of platelet rich plasma decrease the recurrence of intrauterine adhesions?

Research hypothesis:

In women undergoing hysteroscopic adhesiolysis for Asherman's syndrome, postoperative use of platelet rich plasma may decrease the recurrence of intrauterine adhesions.

Being tested
Platelet Rich Plasma, Intrauterine Foley's Catheter
Medical subject headings
Gynatresia

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Platelet Rich PlasmaBiological

    After hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, 30 patients will undergo once injection of 5ml PRP into the wall then lining the uterine cavity by 5ml platelet rich plasma gel. Finally, Foley balloon catheter will be inserted intrauterine then inflated and cutting its stem and to be left for two weeks.

  • Intrauterine Foley's CatheterDevice

    After hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, 30 patients will undergo intrauterine insertion of one inflated Foley balloon catheter with cutting its stem only to be left for two weeks.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Prevent recurrence of intrauterine adhesions

    Prevent recurrence of intrauterine adhesions after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis assessed by office hysteroscopy according to American Fertility Society adhesion score:

    1. Extent of cavity involved: ( <1/3, 1/3 - 2/3, >2/3 )
    2. Type of adhesions: (filmy, filmy to dense, dense)
    3. menstrual pattern (normal, hypomenorrhea, amenorrhea)

    Measured: Reassessed after one month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Return of menses

    Return/normalization of expected menses by history (yes/no)

    Measured: Reassessed after one month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Platelet Rich Plasma and Intrauterine Foley's Catheter in people with Intrauterine Adhesion, run by Ain Shams Maternity Hospital at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevent recurrence of intrauterine adhesions (time frame: Reassessed after one month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 May 2018.
