Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Non-randomised trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
All patients who have an unresponsive endometrium will be offered the intervention. As they will be unrepsonsive to treatment- they will be therefore act as their own historical control; pre and post intervention.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
non-randomised
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
