Optimal Balloon Catheter Placement During Sonohysterography

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Saline infusion sonohysterography and other intrauterine investigations methods may cause uterine cramping, pain and vasovagal reactions. According to few of previous studies the position of catheter placement can affect the magnitude of pain and amount of saline required during the sonohysterography. The purpose of this double blind control trial study is to assess whether the location of the balloon catheter either the uterus or cervix during sonohysterography can affect the magnitude of pain and the rate of vasovagal reaction.

Clinical Trial Description

The proposal of study approved by the investigators institutional review boards and institution's ethical committee, and all participants will sign a written consent before enter to study. A total of 300 infertile women undergoing sonohysterography will be randomized to intrauterine or intracervical balloon catheter placement. The examination is scheduled in the early follicular phase of menstrual cycle, immediately after cessation of menstrual flow and before day 10. After preparation of patient, a 2 lumen 6-French flexible catheter is introduced into the cervical canal and balloon at the catheter tip is placed in the lower uterine segment or 1 cm into cervical canal and inflated with 1 mL of sterile saline solution. Under sonographic guidance, sterile normal saline solution (10-50 mL) is slowly introduced into the cavity until an adequate distention of the uterine cavity is obtained. Three-dimensional ultrasound scanned volumes are recorded. Patients are asked to assess their level of pain at the time of the balloon inflation and deflation using a 10-point visual analog pain scale. Patients are checked for the sign and symptoms of vasovagal reaction during and 30 minutes after procedure. Outcome measures will be assessed based on the intent-to-treat principle. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
