Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators checked the hypothesis whether endometrial injury performed during the cycle before a frozen embryo transfer in women with RIF can improve pregnancy rates

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

After a freeze all cycle, participants were divided in two groups: an intervention group (n=30), who underwent endometrial injury before the transfer, and a control group (n=30), who underwent no other intervention. The primary outcome was clinical pregnancy rate, while secondary clinical and laboratory parameters. Baseline and cycle characteristics were also compared between groups.
