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: bmjopen.bmj.com/content/11/9/e…
📢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." See paper⬇️ academic.oup.com/humrep/advance…

#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
@SheffieldHosp @NIHRresearch @Shef_Research @metwally01 @Scratch_trial @CTRU_Sheffield 7yrs of commitment from an amazing team to answer this important question. Proud to be part of it. Looking forward to @ESHRE
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
