Comparing how the uterus expands during hysterosonography in women monitored for fertility
Official title: Comparison of Uterine Distension in Hysterosonography Among Patients Monitored for Infertility
Run by Centre Hospitalier de Saint-Denis · NCT07170137 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This test sees if uterine volume changes measured during hysterosonography differ between women receiving IVF/ICSI care for infertility and women who are apparently fertile.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are women aged 18 to 42 who are consulting the Saint-Denis ART department for infertility or desire to become pregnant and who have no contraindication to pregnancy.
✕Probably not a fit
Women with contraindications to assisted reproductive treatment, those outside the 18–42 age range, or those unable to attend the single study site are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This observational project uses transvaginal hysterosonography to perform volumetric measurements of the uterus before and after controlled distension. Participants include women consulting at the Centre hospitalier Delafontaine for infertility management and a comparison group of apparently fertile women. Volumetric analysis will quantify change in uterine volume induced by distension and compare distributions between the two groups without altering clinical treatment. The work is single-center and based on imaging data collected during routine diagnostic procedures.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could improve understanding of uterine mechanical differences related to fertility and help refine diagnostic evaluation for some patients.
How similar studies have gone: Sonohysterography and uterine imaging are well established, but direct volumetric comparisons of uterine distension between infertile and fertile groups are relatively limited and somewhat novel.
