Alcohol treatment for ovarian cysts before IVF to improve pregnancy chances
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a special alcohol injection (ethanol sclerotherapy) to shrink endometriosis cysts before IVF can improve the chance of getting pregnant. It may help make the ovaries healthier for egg retrieval.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a woman between 18 and 43 years old.

This trial tests whether injecting ethanol into endometriomas (benign ovarian cysts from endometriosis) before IVF can improve fertility outcomes. It may be considered if you have endometriomas within a specific size range and no major issues that affect IVF success.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy) that uses an alcohol solution to shrink ovarian cysts caused by endometriosis. It may offer an alternative to traditional cyst removal while preserving more ovarian tissue.
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 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 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 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.
