Light Physics Enhanced Camera Navigation in No-touch Hysteroscopy: Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract
Office hysteroscopy is the gold standard technique in the diagnosis of the intrauterine pathologies. Some interventions may also be carried out through the hysteroscopy. No-touch hysteroscopy technique confers several advantages in terms of patient discomfort over the traditional technique. Clinicians performing the hysteroscopy find their way from the vaginal introitus to the uterine cavity through direct visualization of the anatomic structures on their route. The investigators hypothesize that the utilization of the information derived from the 'light physics' would facilitate camera navigation during no-touch hysteroscopy and consequently ease reaching the uterus. This study aimed to compare the standard no-touch technique with the 'light physics' enhanced camera navigation in terms of patient comfort and procedural pain.
Conditions: Infertility.
Primary outcome: Procedural Pain; Procedure time.
Enrollment: 96 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 96 participants or records.
