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 trial compares two surgical techniques for removing ovarian endometriomas (chocolate cysts) in women with pain or infertility. The goal is to see which method better preserves egg supply (ovarian reserve).
This study tests a new laser treatment to destroy ovarian cysts caused by endometriosis during laparoscopic surgery. The goal is to see if the laser can safely remove the cyst wall, which might help reduce pain and preserve fertility.
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 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.
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.
