Insulin during laparoscopy to prevent adhesion recurrence
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving insulin directly into the abdomen during laparoscopic surgery can help prevent scar tissue (adhesions) from coming back. Adhesions can cause pain or fertility problems, so this treatment might reduce that risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a woman between 18 and 40 years old.
- You must have insulin resistance (a condition where your body doesn't use insulin well), confirmed by a blood test.
- You must be having laparoscopic surgery (a type of minimally invasive surgery) for infertility or pelvic pain.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be between 20 and 35, which is a measure of weight compared to height.
- You must be willing to sign a consent form saying you agree to take part.
- If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have diabetes that requires medication, you cannot join.

This study tests whether giving insulin after pancreatic surgery helps control blood sugar in patients who develop diabetes as a result of the surgery. It may help you manage your recovery better and avoid complications from high blood sugar.
This study tests whether a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a medication used for diabetes and weight loss) can reduce heart damage during or after planned non-cardiac surgery. It may help patients with heart risk undergoing intermediate to high-risk procedures.
This study tests a new way to give insulin directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) for people with type 1 diabetes. It will check how safe and effective a single dose is over 12 hours, using a special procedure to keep blood sugar stable (clamp).
This trial tests two ways to give insulin after gastrointestinal or vascular surgery to see which one leads to fewer wound infections. It may help if you have type 2 diabetes and are having one of these surgeries.
This study tests whether using ultrasound scans in diabetes clinics can help people avoid insulin-induced lipohypertrophy (lumps under the skin from injections). It is for people with diabetes who use insulin injections or a pump and have unstable glucose levels despite using a continuous glucose monitor.
This trial tests a new product designed to prevent scar tissue (adhesions) from forming inside the uterus after surgery. If you have uterine scar tissue causing fertility problems or irregular periods, this study may help determine if the treatment is safe and effective.
