Oil-based Vs. Water-based Contrast Medium in Hysterosalpingography for Infertile Women in Improving Fertility Outcome
China1,187 participantsStarted 2020-05-04
Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of oil-based contrast medium (OBCM) and water-based contrast medium (WBCM) during hysterosalpingography（HSG）on pregnancy outcomes in infertile women. The main question it aims to answer is whether an oil-based contrast medium improves fertility outcomes in infertile women. Participants were divided into those who received an oil-based contrast medium (ethiodized poppyseed oil) and a water-based contrast medium (Ioversol) based on a shared medical decision-making process between patients and healthcare providers. The two contrast agents used in this study are routinely employed in clinical practice and will not affect the participants\' health. Participants are required to complete some clinical questionnaires before and after the HSG procedure to provide clinical information. Other than that, there will be no additional costs for participants.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
