Adjuvant Therapy for Intrauterine Adhesions Between Two Groups

December 15, 2019 updated by: Feng Lin, Wenzhou Medical University

A Randomized Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy of Intrauterine Balloon Compared to Intrauterine Contraceptive Device Plus Foley Catheter in the Therapy for Uterine Adhesion After Hysteroscopic Adhesiolysis

This study was taken out to compare two mechanical devices (intrauterine balloon and Intrauterine Contraceptive Device Plus Foley Catheter) in the therapy for intrauterine adhesions after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis. Participates were assigned into two groups by randomly.

Detailed Description

Intrauterine balloon and Intrauterine Contraceptive Device Plus Foley Catheter are both effective in the therapy for intrauterine adhesion.

The Intrauterine Contraceptive Device Plus Foley Catheter are usually inserted into the uterine after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis. Foley Catheter is removed after three days while intrauterine device is removed two or three month later.

The heart-shaped intrauterine balloon is designed to fit into the cavity of the uterus, and usually removed on the 7th day after surgery.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Intrauterine balloon
The heart-shaped intrauterine balloon is designed to fit into the cavity of the uterus,and removed on the 7th day after surgery. And hysteroscopy was taken out again after two or three months to re-evaluate the uterine adhesions.
Device: Intrauterine balloon
After the completion of hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, intrauterine balloon was inserted and inflated with 3-5 mL normal saline which was removed after 1 week.
Other Names:
  • Cook balloon
Experimental: intrauterine device Plus Foley Catheter
Intrauterine Contraceptive Device Plus Foley Catheter are inserted into the uterine after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis. Foley Catheter is removed after three days while intrauterine device is removed at the second hysteroscopy. Uterine adhesions are judged again at the second hysteroscopy.
Device: Intrauterine Contraceptive Device Plus Foley Catheter
After the completion of hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, Intrauterine Contraceptive Device Plus Foley Catheter were inserted into the uterine cavity. Foley Catheter was removed after three days and Intrauterine Device was removed at the second time of hysteroscopy.
Other Names:
  • Intrauterine Device Plus Foley Catheter

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
the AFS Score at Second-look Hysteroscopy
Time Frame: 2 or 3 months after the surgery
The AFS score is based on the American Fertility Society (AFS) Classification of Intra-uterine adhesions( 1988 version)The total range of AFS score is from 0 to 12, and the higher the score is, the worse the outcome is.
2 or 3 months after the surgery
