March 7, 2024 updated by: Mak Sze Man Jennifer, Chinese University of Hong Kong

Use of Buscopan in Patients Undergoing IVF/Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Treatment With High and Low Uterine Contraction Frequency Prior to Embryo Transfer: A Prospective Double-blinded Randomized Controlled Trial

To determine if the use of Buscopan in patients undergoing IVF/ICSI treatment with high uterine contraction frequency prior to embryo transfer has a higher live birth rate.
