About this study

Official title: Accuracy of Endomyometrial Biopsy in Diagnosis of Adenomyosis. A Prospective Cross-sectional Study

This study will compare the accuracy of diagnosing adenomyosis by obtaining hysteroscopic guided endomyometrial biopsy and comparing it to accuracy of diagnosis by transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging.

Read the detailed description

Preoperative diagnosis of adenomyosis is usually difficult. The use of ultrasound and MRI for preoperative diagnosis is still of low positive predictive values. The majority of cases of adenomyosis are diagnosed postoperatively after justo pathological examination of the hysterectomy specimens.

The introduction of the concept of preoperative diagnosis of adenomyosis through a hysteroscopic endomyometrial biopsies may be a very good method for preoperative diagnosis of this condition. Participants patients who are diagnosed as adenomyosis by Ultrasound and MRI and scheduled for hysterectomy will undergo an endomyometrial biopsy. The accuracy of this method, its sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of this method will be compared with the conventional methods for preoperative diagnosis of adenomyosis after final diagnosis by final gusto pathological diagnosis of hysterectomy specimens.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adenomyosis, run by Ain Shams University 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 2 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 10 Oct 2024. 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?

To compare endomyometrial biopsy with postoperative pathology to calculate Accuracy and likelihood ratio of endomyometrial biopsy to diagnose adenomyosis . (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 10 Oct 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
