Pipelle vs Manual Vacuum for Endometrial Biopsy in Abnormal Bleeding
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two methods (Pipelle and Manual Vacuum Aspiration) for taking a small sample of the lining of the uterus (endometrial biopsy) in women with abnormal uterine bleeding. The goal is to see which method is more comfortable and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a married woman aged 35 or older.
- You have abnormal uterine bleeding (such as heavy periods, bleeding between periods, or bleeding after menopause).

- You are healthy enough for both the Pipelle and Manual Vacuum Aspiration procedures.
- You are not pregnant or suspected to be pregnant.
- You do not have a current pelvic infection or a bleeding disorder, and you are not on blood thinners.

This study tests whether a simple vaginal fluid sample can help detect endometrial cancer (cancer of the uterus lining) or precancerous changes. You'll provide a vaginal specimen alongside your standard medical care, helping researchers develop a non-invasive screening tool.
This study compares two ways to prepare the cervix before a hysteroscopy (a camera test) in postmenopausal women. It aims to see which method makes the procedure easier and more comfortable.
This trial tests a new way to take a small sample of the womb lining (biopsy) using a thin, flexible tube guided by ultrasound. The goal is to see if ultrasound guidance makes the biopsy more accurate and comfortable in people with post-menopausal bleeding.
This study compares two different devices used to collect tissue samples from the uterus (endometrial biopsy). Doctors use these samples to check for cancer or other problems when women have abnormal bleeding or other concerning symptoms. The trial will help determine which device works better and causes less discomfort.
This trial tests if a simple gel injection works as well as gel plus a suction procedure for treating abnormal blood vessels in the uterus that cause bleeding after a miscarriage. If you had a miscarriage in the last 3 months and have ongoing bleeding, this study may offer a less invasive option.
This trial tests two ways to take a small sample of the uterus lining (endometrium) when it is thin. The results may help women have a more comfortable and effective biopsy.
