About this study

Official title: Impact of Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy Versus Aspiration and Coagulation on Ovarian Reserve and Pelvic Pain in Cases of Ovarian Endometrioma

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy versus aspiration and coagulation on ovarian reserve and pelvic pain in cases of ovarian endometrioma.

Read the detailed description

All patients are presenting with ovarian endometrioma. They are all subjected to informed written consent, full history, general examination, local examination and transvaginal ultrasound. Follicular stimulating hormone (FSH), Lutenizing hormone (LH), Anti Mullerian hormone (AMH), Antral follicular count (AFC) and chronic pelvic pain which is assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pain scoring system ,all are to be determined before and after laparoscopic surgery (postoperative three months); for two groups (Group A) cystectomy and (Group B) aspiration and coagulation. Histopathological examination was done to the cystectomy group to confirm endometriosis and detect the presence of healthy ovarian tissue in the excised cyst wall.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Exploration of the impact of laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy versus aspiration and coagulation on Anti Mullerian hormone (AMH) as a measurement of ovarian reserve .

    Evaluation of ovarian reserve which is measured by Anti Mullerian hormone (AMH) in nano-gram per milliliter (ng/ml) before laparoscopy and after the surgery by 3 months.

    Measured: 3 months after laparoscopy

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Exploration of the impact of laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy versus aspiration and coagulation on Antral Follicular Count (AFC) as a measurement of ovarian reserve.

    Evaluation of ovarian reserve by assessment of Antral Follicular Count (AFC) by measuring the number of visible ovarian follicles (2-10 mm mean diameter) that are observed during transvaginal ultrasonography in the early follicular phase (cycle days 2-5) in both ovaries. It is done before laparoscopy and after the surgery by 3 months.

    Measured: 3 months after laparoscopy

  2. Exploration of the impact of laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy versus aspiration and coagulation on chronic pelvic pain.

    Pelvic pain is measured by Visual analogue scale of pain (VAS) which is a continuous scale comprised of a horizontal (HVAS) or vertical (VVAS) line, usually 10 centimeters in length, anchored by 2 verbal descriptors, one for each symptom extreme "no pain" (score of 0) and "pain as bad as it could be" or "worst imaginable pain" (score of 10-cm scale).

    The pelvic pain is assessed before laparoscopy and after laparoscopy by 3 months.

    Measured: 3 months after laparoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ovarian cystectomy and ovarian cyst aspiration and coagulation in people with Ovarian Endometrioma, run by Shaimaa Mostafa Mohammed Refaay El shemy 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 2 inclusion and 6 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 Jan 2019. 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?

Exploration of the impact of laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy versus aspiration and coagulation on Anti Mullerian hormone (AMH) as a measurement of ovarian reserve . (time frame: 3 months after laparoscopy). 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 Jan 2019.
