Scientific titleThe effect of pharmacological agents on uterine junctional zone contractions during mock embryo transfer: a randomised double-blind study
Study objectivesTo assess if junctional zone contractions can be reduced by pharmacological agents.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPregnancy and Childbirth: Embryo transfer
InterventionThe patient's baseline junctional zone contractions will be established following a 5 minute scan. Video tapes taken of both the pre and post mock embryo transfer will be assessed by two researchers who will be unaware of treatment.
20 patients allocated to the nitric oxide group, 20 to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory group, 20 control and 20 to the COX-2 inhibitor group.
