Comparing Pipelle and Curved Aspirator for Endometrial Biopsy
This study is comparing two common devices used for endometrial biopsy (a procedure to collect tissue from the lining of the uterus): the Pipelle and the Curved Tip Aspirator. The goal is to see which device is better at getting enough tissue for doctors to accurately diagnose conditions like endometrial cancer. You might be able to join if you are a woman between 18 and 95 years old and need an endometrial biopsy. This includes younger patients with risk factors for endometrial cancer, those 45 and older with abnormal bleeding, or postmenopausal patients with bleeding or suspected uterine problems. The study will consider itself successful if one device proves more effective at obtaining an adequate tissue sample within 30 minutes.
- Study design
- This is a randomized, single-blinded study involving 124 participants. You would be randomly assigned to receive an endometrial biopsy using either the Pipelle or the Curved Tip Aspirator device.
- What's involved
- You would undergo an endometrial biopsy in the outpatient clinic. This procedure is already scheduled for you, regardless of your participation in the study.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary outcome of obtaining an adequate tissue sample is measured at 30 minutes.
