Could a camera in the womb replace surgery for mysterious pregnancies?
NCT ID NCT07469605
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a thin camera inserted into the uterus (hysteroscopy) can better diagnose pregnancy of unknown location—when an early pregnancy isn't visible on ultrasound—compared to the standard surgical scraping (D&C). Sixty infertility patients with abnormal hormone trends will undergo both procedures, and doctors will compare which method more accurately identifies the pregnancy type. If hysteroscopy works well, it could be done in a clinic, speeding up diagnosis and reducing the need for strong medication.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
hysteroscopy
What this could lead to
If successful, this technique could provide a faster, more accurate diagnosis of pregnancy of unknown location, reducing unnecessary methotrexate treatment and improving patient experience.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Hysteroscopy may not be more accurate than the current standard D&C.
