About this study

Official title: Pain Perception During Vaginoscopy Compared to Traditional Hysteroscopy for Hysteroscopy Morcellation in Outpatient Clinic: A Randomized Trial

This study is a randomized controlled trial take place in a fertility outpatient clinic in an academic hospital. Women between 18 and 52 years old requiring polypectomy or myomectomy by hysteroscopy morcellation for abnormal uterine bleeding or for fertility issue are included. The aim is to evaluate pain perception between vaginal and traditional hysteroscopy for hysteroscopic morcellation. The investigator's hypothesis is that pain perception is lower using vaginoscopy compared to traditional hysteroscopy.

Read the detailed description

78 participants will be randomised in two groups:

  1. traditional hysteroscopy: under intravenous sedation, hysteroscopic morcellation is perform after speculum insertion, vaginal cleansing, and paracervical anesthesia with xylocain 1%.
  2. Vaginal hysteroscopy: under intravenous sedation, hysteroscopic morcellation is perform after vaginal cleansing using vaginal distension with saline solution

In addition to pain perception, other outcomes includes: complication rates, time to continue fertility treatment, time to pregnancy

Being tested
vaginoscopy, standard hysteroscopy

What participants receive

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

  • vaginoscopyProcedure or surgery

    vaginal distension with hysteroscope for hysteroscopy morcellation (without speculum or tenaculum forceps)

  • standard hysteroscopyProcedure or surgery

    speculum, paracervical block before hysteroscopy morcellation

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in pain perception between vaginoscopy group and traditional hysteroscopy group

    10 point visual analog pain scale: 0 for no pain to 10 for unbearable pain

    Measured: immediately after intervention

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Difference in length of time of procedure between vaginoscopy group and traditional hysteroscopy group

    length of time in minutes between start and end of procedure including morcellation

    Measured: immediately after intervention

  2. Difference in proportion of vasovagal syncope between vaginoscopy group and traditional hysteroscopy group

    Presence of jerky abnormal movements or a slow weak pulse rate associated to at least one symptoms: nausea, pale skin, blurred vision, warm feeling or cold sweat.

    Measured: immediately after surgery

  3. Difference in proportion of uterine perforation between vaginoscopy group and traditional hysteroscopy group

    presence of one or more signs during intervention: extension of the instrument goes beyong the limitation of the uterus, loss of resistance, sudden loss of vision, direct visualisation of the perforation

    Measured: immediatly after surgery

  4. Difference in length of time to continue fertility treatment between vaginoscopy group and traditional hysteroscopy group

    length of time in months to continue fertility treatment after procedure

    Measured: up to 1 year

  5. Difference in length of time to pregnancy between vaginoscopy group and traditional hysteroscopy group

    length of time in months to be pregnant after procedure

    Measured: up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing vaginoscopy and standard hysteroscopy in people with Leiomyoma of Uterus, run by Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 2023. 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 Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Difference in pain perception between vaginoscopy group and traditional hysteroscopy group (time frame: immediately after intervention). 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 12 Jan 2023.
