Ethanol injection for endometriosis cysts before IVF
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether injecting a special solution (ethanol) into endometriosis cysts before IVF or ICSI can improve your chances of pregnancy. If you have one or two cysts that are about 1 to 3 inches in size and you haven't had them surgically removed before, this treatment might help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 tests if a less invasive ultrasound-guided ethanol injection works as well as laparoscopic surgery for treating ovarian endometriomas (fluid-filled cysts from endometriosis). It may offer a treatment option with fewer side effects.
This study tests if injecting alcohol into ovarian endometriosis cysts can reduce pelvic pain and improve quality of life. It may offer a less invasive option for women with persistent cysts.
This study tests whether medical treatment before IVF can help people with endometriosis (a condition where uterine-like tissue grows elsewhere) who have cysts on their ovaries or have had cyst removal surgery. It may improve the chances of success for their first IVF cycle.
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.
