Protocol summary
Study aim
Determining the effect of endometrial scratching on the expression of angiogenic and anti-angiogenic growth factors
Design
A randomized clinical trial with control group, double blind, and two arm parallel group design of 20 patients. Randomization is performed using a computer-generated random assignment schedule for each patient. Sealed and numbered envelopes are used to conceal the treatment allocation until randomization.
Settings and conduct
Using a pipelle, endometrial scratching is performed by a gynecologist only in the intervention group in the clinic. In this study, the participating patients (creating the same conditions) and the researcher (through sample coding) will be blinded.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Women with Unexplained repeated implantation failure(uRIF), 20 to 40 years, Body max index less (BMI) than 25, good response to previous ovulation stimulation, at least two embryos with good grade in the current cycle, normal uterus. Exclusion criteria: Endometrial thickness is less than 7 mm, congenital anomalies,myoma,endometrioma, adhesions, hydrosalpinx, previous uterine or ovarian surgery, severe male factor infertility, number of embryos less than 2 in the current cycle, diabetes, thyroid disease, any endocrine, genetic, infection or autoimmune disorder
Intervention groups
Intervention: In the intervention group, endometrial sampling is obtained twice by Pipelle [one in the follicular phase and the last in the luteal phase of the same cycle preceding the embryo transfer cycle. Control group: In the control group endometrial sampling will be done only in the luteal phase of the cycle preceding the embryo transfer cycle.
Main outcome variables
Determination of angiogenic and anti-angiogenic growth factor gene expression in endometrial specimens in the intervention group compared with the control group
General information
Reason for update
According to the previous report, the actual recruitment end date of hospitalization is the same as 01/26/1401, and the only date of trial completion date is according to the examination of clinical pregnancy (5 weeks after embryo transfer) and live birth (9 months of pregnancy)in the participant's plan has increased. In addition, according to the evaluation of the secondary variables of implantation rate and clinical pregnancy, the variables related to them that are evaluated are added. A little rewriting has been done in the way the inclusion and exclusion criteria are expressed.

Inclusion/Exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
Infertile women with unexplained repeated implantation failure (unknown definite causes of RIF) failed to conceive after three or more embryo transfer cycles using high-quality transferred embryos (at least one blastocyst ET cycle)
Age of 20 to 40 years
Body mass index (BMI) less than 25 kg/m2
Good response to stimulation of previous ovulation
Having at least two embryos with good grade
normal uterus results of hysterosalpingography (HSG) or hysteroscopy
Participant consent was required to join in the study and to complete the consent form
Exclusion criteria:
The thickness of the endometrium on the day of Human chorionic gonadotropin hormone injection is less than 7 mm
Women with congenital anomalies, intramural and subserosal myomas( larger than 5 cm)
Submucosal myoma
Women with endometrioma larger than or equal to 3 cm
With adhesions
With hydrosalpinx

Severe male factor infertility (sperm extraction from the testis, sperm freezing, sperm DNA fragmentation index equal to or above 16%) Patients with any specific medication
If the number of available embryos is less than 2 in the current cycle
Women with endometrial tuberculosis and those undergoing tuberculosis treatment

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Consecutive sampling until the required sample size is reached. Women by Balanced Block Randomization method are randomly divided into 2 equal groups of 10 people (intervention group and control group). Block randomization method is designed by epidemiologist using STATA software version 13 and the number of blocks considered is 4. Envelopes are prepared for 20 people and inside each envelope is written the group in which the patient should be placed. The envelopes are prepared in a way that the writing inside is not clear. A nurse before the patient enters the operating room, removes the envelope and sends the patients in one of the two groups.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In this study, a doctor scratches the endometrium in the intervention group on days 8-11. The biopsy specimen is prepared in the luteal phase of the same cycle during days 19-23 by the same doctor or other. Therefore, in this study, it is not possible to blind the doctor. In order to blind the patients participating in this study, all the conditions will be the same between the two groups, so the patients of the control group also referred to the center on the day of the scratching (8-11) and due to the blinding of the study, all the sampling steps were done except endometrial scratching will be done for the control group as well as the intervention group. Then, biopsy samples are prepared from both groups in the luteal phase on days 19-23. The endometrial biopsy sample of both groups is sent to the laboratory, which does not know whether the tissue sample received is for the intervention group or the control group, and only checks it based on the received code (blinding of the researcher).
