The Endometrial Scratch trial is an NIHR funded randomised controlled trial aiming to assess the effectiveness of local endometrial trauma in 1st time IVF.
We have recently published a paper that explores the experiences of trial participants and site staff of being involved in the endometrial scratch trial. Read it here: https://t.co/aeEcTera1j
📢The results of the Endometrial Scratch Trial, run by us and led by @metwally01, are now published in Human Reproduction: "ES was safe but did not improve pregnancy outcomes when performed in the mid-luteal phase prior to the first IVF cycle."

#ESHRE2020 UK Endoscratch study shows scratch did not increase live birth rate in first time IVF patients. Time to stop scratching to improve success rate!! @Ycheong1 @EshreReprEndo @metwally01 #ESHREvirtual
The Endometrial Scratch trial showed no benefit of the ‘scratch’ in women undergoing IVF for the first time.
We would like to thank the trial participants and research staff in the 16 fertility centres for making this study possible @NIHRresearch@FertilityNUK@Shef_Research
The #endometrialscratch#trial has recently completed recruitment just under 3 months early. 1047 participants undergoing #IVF for the 1st time have taken part. We are very grafeful to the participants and staff at participanting #IVF centres for their time and efforts
"Excellent. Not just dignity and privacy but kindness, humour and empathy". Thanks to this recent patient for their kind words about our service. #proudtomakeadifference @SheffieldHosp
We are asking all Fertility Units in the UK to complete a questionnaire about provision of the Endometrial Scratch in their unit. It should only take 2minutes to complete and will inform how we disseminate the findings of our trial. Please complete it here:https://t.co/rNJkKgxBne
