Ovarian cyst sclerotherapy to preserve fertility
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a procedure called sclerotherapy to shrink ovarian cysts (endometriomas) instead of removing them surgically. The goal is to preserve your ovarian tissue and fertility while treating pain or helping with fertility treatments like IVF.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were assigned female at birth and have XX chromosomes.
- You are between 18 and 40 years old.
- You have at least one ovarian cyst (≥2 cm) that looks like an endometrioma on ultrasound or MRI.
- You would normally need laparoscopic surgery to remove the cyst because of pain or to help with fertility treatment.

This study tests a surgical technique to remove ovarian cysts caused by endometriosis while preserving as much healthy ovary as possible. It is designed for women who want to preserve their fertility and plan to conceive after surgery.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery to treat large ovarian cysts caused by endometriosis. It may help if you have a cyst over 4 cm and want surgery to manage it.
This study tests a procedure called ethanol sclerotherapy for treating endometriomas (ovarian cysts from endometriosis). The goal is to shrink the cyst and possibly improve fertility without surgery.
This trial looks at a specific way of closing the ovary (suturing) after surgeons remove an endometrioma using laparoscopic stripping. It may help by improving how the ovary heals and preserving ovarian function in the right patients.
This trial studies a treatment approach for women with a large endometrioma (an endometriosis-related ovarian cyst). It may help reduce symptoms and treat the cyst, but you can join only if certain imaging and safety requirements are met.
This trial studies a “conservative” laparoscopic CO2 laser surgery approach for endometriosis cysts, aiming to treat pain and/or infertility while preserving ovarian function. It may help people who have a suitable cyst size and do not need certain hormone treatments before and after surgery.
