FRIEND: Fibroids and Unexplained Infertility Treatment With Epigallocatechin Gallate; A Natural CompounD in Green Tea

The objective of this study is to determine the effect of low caffeine green tea extract containing 45% epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on fibroids and subsequent pregnancy and live births in women seeking fertility treatment. The population will consist of 50 women desirous of conceiving, ages ≥18 to ≤40 years (at time of consent), and known to have class 2-6 fibroids, according to the FIGO staging system.

Prescription of Letrozole for Uterine Myoma

The PLUM Study is a randomized, double-blinded, 2-arm, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial is designed to compare the efficacy of letrozole versus placebo on leiomyoma-related symptoms and quality of life as well as leiomyoma and uterine size.

Effects of Simvastatin on Uterine Leiomyoma Size

The study aims to study the effect of simvastatin on the size of uterine fibroids.

Effects of Vitamin D, Epigallocatechin Gallate, Vitamin B6, and D-Chiro-inositol Combination on Uterine Fibroids

Randomized (1:1) double-blind, single-center controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of 3 months of treatment with Epigallocatechin gallate, vitamin D, D-Chiro-inositol, and vitamin B6 on symptoms related to uterine fibroids

Are Uterine Fibroids Pro-thrombotic?

This study will investigate whether the presence of uterine fibroids is independently associated with a laboratory defined pro-thrombotic phenotype. VTE is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. In addition, treating patients with UF and thrombosis represents a particular challenge as fibroids frequently cause menorrhagia, which is exacerbated by anticoagulation. It is therefore important to recognise and detect risk factors and prevent thrombosis wherever possible. If a pro-thrombotic phenotype is detected in patients with UF as their sole risk factor, then this could justify a new approach to the assessment and risk-management of a very large number of patients and could translate into a reduction in both morbidity and mortality for affected patients.

Clinical Research on the Application of Single-channel Uterine Fibroid Morcellation System in Laparoscopic Myomectomy

Research Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore whether the application of a single-channel uterine fibroid morcellation system compared to a multi-channel specimen retrieval bag during laparoscopic myomectomy can shorten the operative time and improve the efficiency of fibroid removal. Research Design This study is a single-center, randomized, single-blind, 1:1 controlled trial. Intervention Measures Study participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio into two groups. Experimental group: Conventional laparoscopic myomectomy with the use of a single-channel uterine fibroid morcellation system for fragmentation and retrieval of the fibroids. Control group: Conventional laparoscopic myomectomy with the use of a multi-channel specimen retrieval bag and a conventional laparoscopic uterine fibroid morcellator for fragmentation and retrieval of the fibroids. Observation Indicators Primary observation indicator: Time required for fibroid fragmentation and retrieval (from the placement of the single-channel uterine fibroid morcellation system or the multi-channel specimen retrieval bag to complete removal from the abdominal cavity). Secondary observation indicators: Success rate of placement, intraoperative damage and leakage rate, gynecological surgeon satisfaction with the surgery, total weight of retrieved uterine fibroid fragments.

Establishment of a Decision Aid Tool for Asymptomatic Small Leiomyoma and Analysis of Influencing Factors for Clinical Decision-making Using HIFU

With the younger patients diagnosed with asymptomatic leiomyoma, delay in the reproductive age of women, the advancement of medical technology, and the rapid development of treatment methods, there are many choices between gynecologists, gynecologists and patients because of experience and knowledge. It is not easy to make the most favorable choice for patients. This study is mainly led by a committee composed of designers, doctors, nurses and patients, and based on clinical guidelines and evidence-based medicine. Co-operating with patients with asymptomatic small leiomyoma, we want to find the influencing factors of clinical decision-making, and to establish a patient decision aid tool. We use prospective trial to verify that the use of this tool can improve patients' decision-making efficacy and further improve patient-reported outcomes.
