About this trial
The objective of this prospective, randomized controlled study was to evaluate the effectiveness of this NCH gel in the prevention of IUA development as assessed by hysteroscopy after USG-MVA, in the treatment for first-trimester miscarriage.
* To study the severity and extent of the IUA as assessed by the AFS and ESGE adhesion score in both groups of patients. * To examine the rate of complications or side effects with the NCH gel. * To assess the subsequent menstrual history and reproductive outcome in both groups of patients.

Treatments tested in this trial
MateRegen® gel (BioRegen)
DeviceModification of Hyaluronic acid structure to 3-dimensional self-cross-linked network structure enables all-dimensional coverage of tissue surface to enhance better healing process. Self-cross-linked HA hydrogels can maintain the biocompatibility and biodegradability that characterize the unmodified material. Moreover, high dynamic viscosity enables continuous indwelling in the uterine cavity. The gel could provide precise regulation, and degradation and absorption time prolonged to 7-14 days post operatively, which completely cover key postoperative healing period (5-7 days), at the highest time of intrauterine adhesion formation.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of IUA
To determine the incidence of IUA or after USG-MVA for the treatment of first-trimester miscarriage in both intervention and control groups.
Secondary outcomes
Severity and extent of the intrauterine adhesions as assessed by the AFS adhesion score
To study the severity and extent of the intrauterine adhesions as assessed by the AFS adhesion score in both groups of patients. The American Fertility Society's (AFS) classification of intrauterine adhesions: Stage I (mild) with score 1-4, Stage II (moderate) with score 5-8, Stage III (severe) with score 9-12
Severity and extent of the intrauterine adhesions as assessed by the ESGE adhesion score
To study the severity and extent of the intrauterine adhesions as assessed by the European Society of Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE) adhesion score in both groups of patients. It includes grades I and II as mild adhesion, grade III as moderate adhesion, grades IV and V as severe adhesion
Complications or side effects with the NCH gel.
To examine the rate of complications or side effects with the NCH gel.
Subsequent menstrual frequency
To assess the subsequent menstrual frequency in both groups of patients. Frequency - average 28 days \<24 days Frequent, \>38 days Infrequent Frequency - average 28 days \<24 days Frequent, \>38 days Infrequent
