Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if ultra-long downregulation with a GnRH agonist (triptorelin depot) enhances clinical pregnancy rates in women with endometriosis undergoing ART after previous surgeries.
- The results indicated that this treatment did not lead to an increased rate of clinical pregnancies with a positive fetal heartbeat in the subsequent ART cycle, but the trial's early termination meant it wasn't sufficiently powered to draw definitive conclusions.
- Current evidence on the benefits of GnRH agonists before ART in endometriosis patients is inconclusive, and more robust studies are needed to validate previous claims.
Background: In an earlier publication that investigated alexithymia in fibromyalgia, we showed the Toronto Alexithymia Scale was the only instrument being used to measure alexithymia.
Aim: To find out which instruments are currently available for measuring alexithymia, to compare the psychometric properties of these instruments and to decide whether some of the test methods involved should be used to give extra value to alexithymia research.
Method: We conducted a systematic review of the literature in Medline/PubMed with a number of search terms.
