UTERINE FIBROIDS

This study tested whether a daily combination pill (relugolix, estradiol, and norethindrone acetate) can prevent pregnancy in women aged 18 to 50 who have uterine fibroids or endometriosis. Over 1,100 women took the pill for up to a year, and researchers counted how many became p…

This study compared two treatments for symptomatic uterine fibroids—surgery (myomectomy) and a minimally invasive procedure (uterine artery embolization)—to see which one better helps women get pregnant and have a live birth. It included 9 women aged 18 to 43 with fibroids larger…

This study followed over 1,500 women with moderate to severe uterine fibroids who were taking Esmya (ulipristal acetate) long-term. Researchers tracked side effects, especially those affecting the uterus, and how doctors prescribed the drug in everyday practice. The goal was to b…

This study tested a 3-month treatment with a combination of vitamin D, green tea extract (EGCG), vitamin B6, and D-Chiro-inositol in 108 women with uterine fibroids who were planning surgery. The goal was to see if the supplement could ease symptoms and possibly help some women a…

This study tested whether a nerve block called the anterior quadratus lumborum block, given before surgery, can reduce pain and the need for opioids in women undergoing abdominal hysterectomy. 56 participants were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block plus standard …

This pilot study tested whether taking a combination of EGCG (from green tea), vitamin D, and D-chiro-inositol for three months before hysteroscopic myomectomy improves surgical outcomes. 90 women with uterine fibroids were divided into two groups: one received the supplements be…

This study looked at whether measuring the stiffness of uterine fibroids can help predict how well they respond to a non-invasive treatment called MR-HIFU. Forty women with symptomatic fibroids were enrolled. The goal was to improve patient selection so that only those likely to …

This study looked at 60 women aged 35 to 60 who had a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) through small cuts in the belly (laparoscopy). The goal was to compare two different methods of tying off the uterine arteries to see which one led to less blood loss during surgery. The re…

This study compared robot-assisted laparoscopy using the Senhance Surgical System to conventional laparoscopy for hysterectomy and other uterine surgeries. Researchers measured operating time, blood loss, and safety in 78 patients. The goal was to see if the robot offers advantag…

This completed phase 1 study tested how SHR7280, a drug being developed for endometriosis and uterine fibroids, affects the way the body processes six other common drugs. Twenty healthy men took SHR7280 along with midazolam, warfarin, omeprazole, digoxin, and rosuvastatin to see …
