New stent aims to prevent uterine scarring in women
NCT ID NCT07611474
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new uterine stent to prevent intrauterine adhesions (scar tissue) after surgery in women aged 20-40. 200 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the new stent or standard care (uterine ring, balloon, and gel). The goal is to see if the stent reduces scarring and is safe to use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- uterine stent (device)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simpler, safer way to prevent scar tissue in the uterus after surgery, helping preserve fertility.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with only 200 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device might not work better than current methods.
