Doppler ultrasound to predict success of conservative or methotrexate treatment for tubal ectopic pregnancy

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective study enrolling about 60 women with hemodynamically stable tubal ectopic pregnancies at diagnosis. Investigators will record Doppler ultrasound parameters (resistive index, pulsatility index, and peak systolic velocity) and clinical/laboratory data, then follow patients treated according to standard departmental protocols (conservative monitoring or methotrexate). The primary aim is to see whether Doppler measures at presentation predict treatment success; secondary aims include exploring other factors such as gestational features, pain, bleeding, and beta-hCG levels. Results could clarify whether Doppler vascularization should inform selection of non-surgical management.
