Comparing two treatments for ovarian endometriomas
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You have an ovarian endometrioma (a type of cyst) that is 3 to 10 centimeters in size, confirmed by ultrasound or MRI.
- You have endometriosis-related pain (like severe period pain or constant pelvic pain) that you rate as at least a 3 out of 10 on a pain scale over the last month.
- You have not had surgery for this cyst before.
- You do not have multiple large cysts or low ovarian reserve (egg supply).

This study compares two surgical techniques for removing ovarian endometriomas (cysts from endometriosis) to see how they affect your ovary's ability to work normally. It may help you if you have pain or infertility from these cysts and want to preserve your fertility.
This study tests a new laser method to remove ovarian cysts (endometriomas) that develop from endometriosis tissue. Researchers will examine tissue samples removed during your surgery to understand how well the laser works and how it affects the cyst.
This study tests whether doing surgery (for an ovarian endometrioma—a painful cyst) together with IVF can improve outcomes for people trying to get pregnant after other issues. It focuses on women with one sizable endometrioma and plans standard IVF without certain add-ons.
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 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 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.
