Trial summary

Two distinction fluids are used in operative hysteroscopy. One is monopolar and the second is bipolar. The monopolar fluid contains mannitol and the bipolar fluid contains serum physiologic. This study aims to compare intracranial pressure in patients undergoing monopolar and bipolar hysteroscopy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Monopolar or Bipolar Hysteroscopy: Comparison of the Impact of Two Methods on Intracranial Pressure

Two distinction fluids are used in operative hysteroscopy. One is monopolar and the second is bipolar. The monopolar fluid contains mannitol and the bipolar fluid contains serum physiologic. This study aims to compare intracranial pressure in patients undergoing monopolar and bipolar hysteroscopy.

Read the detailed description

Operative hysteroscopy is currently used in the treatment of several diseases including submucosal myomas, polyps, uterine septum, and abnormal intrauterine bleeding. Two different methods for distension of the uterus for hysteroscopy are available currently. One is monopolar and the second is bipolar. The monopolar fluid contains mannitol and the bipolar fluid contains serum physiologic. Passage of the distention fluid into the uterine veins during hysteroscopy might lead to volume overload, water intoxication, hyponatremia, pulmonary edema or brain edema. However, the effect of monopolar hysteroscopy or bipolar hysteroscopy on intracranial pressure in patients undergoing hysteroscopy is unknown. Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurement is a surrogate marker of invasive intracranial pressure. This study aims to compare the impact of monopolar and bipolar hysteroscopy on intracranial pressure by using ONSD measurement in patients undergoing hysteroscopy.

What participants receive

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

  • Monopolar hysteroscopyProcedure or surgery

    Unipolar resectoscopes are used in this group and the distention fluid is mannitol

  • Bipolar hysteroscopyProcedure or surgery

    Bipolar resectoscopes are used in this group and the distention fluid is serum physiologic

Study groups in NCT04004923
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Monopolar hysteroscopyActive comparatorThis group of patients will receive Monopolar hysteroscopy for uterine distention.
Receives: Procedure: Monopolar hysteroscopy
Bipolar hysteroscopyActive comparatorThis group of patients will receive Monopolar hysteroscopy for uterine distention.
Receives: Procedure: Bipolar hysteroscopy

What is being measured

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

  1. Intracranial pressure

    The difference in intracranial pressure between the two study arms measured with optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD). ONSD is measured using a linear ultrasound probe and reflects intracranial pressure.

    Measured: ONSD will be measured 3 times in the two groups. Before completion of hysteroscopy, 2 hours after hysteroscopy and 6 hours after hysteroscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Monopolar hysteroscopy and Bipolar hysteroscopy in people with Intracranial Pressure Increase, run by Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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 20 Feb 2020. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Intracranial pressure (time frame: ONSD will be measured 3 times in the two groups. Before completion of hysteroscopy, 2 hours after hysteroscopy and 6 hours after hysteroscopy). 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 20 Feb 2020.
