ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a non-invasive imaging method called cervical elastography to see how it can help diagnose adenomyosis, a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows into the muscle of the uterus. The goal is to understand if this technique, which uses ultrasound to measure how stretchy the cervical tissue is, can provide useful information about the development and course of adenomyosis.

To participate in this study, women aged 18 to 45 who have been diagnosed with adenomyosis are eligible. Participants will not be pregnant, nor can they have pelvic infections, a history of cervical surgery, or other serious health issues. The trial is currently active but not recruiting new participants. Those involved can expect to undergo cervical elastography, which is a simple and safe procedure, to help researchers learn more about adenomyosis and improve diagnosis methods in the future.
