Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison effect of endometrial abrasion on the success of intrauterine sperm injection in two phases of follicular and luteal in infertile women with unexplained infertility
Design
This is a double blind, phase 3 randomized control clinical trial study that done on 75 women with infertility for unexplained reasons. Patients are distributed in three groups of 25 people using Random Allocation Software.
Settings and conduct
This double blind clinical trial study will be done in 2020-2021 in Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Isfahan. The study is double blind and patients were unaware of the endometrial abrasion phase. Also, the person evaluating the fertility outcome is unaware of the endometrial abrasion step.

Exclusion criteria: presence of adnexal mass in transvaginal ultrasound; normal fluid analysis of semen with a volume of 2–5 ml with a concentration of more than 20 million / ml; total motility greater than 50% and normal form more than 30%; spousal infections severe infertility; stage 3 and 4 endometriosis; infertility caused by defects in the fallopian tubes; levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone greater than 10 mL / ml; abnormal levels of thyroid hormone or prolactin; uterine fibroids or severe systemic or infectious disease.

Software output includes a list that randomly distributed sample size (75 people) in three groups A, B, and C. Patients are distributed in three groups according to the list, according to the time of referral, so that the sample size reaches the required number.
