Methods Randomised prospective comparative study
Participants Unclear but likely premenopausal women with submucosal fibroids undergoing hysteroscopic myomectomy
Interventions ‐ Group A: norethisterone acetate 10 mg 2 times per day
 ‐ Group B: micronised progesterone 200 mg 1 time per day
 ‐ Group C: dienogest 2 mg 1 time per day
 ‐ Group D: ulipristal acetate 5 mg 1 time per day
 ‐ Group E: control group with no treatment
Outcomes Fluid balance, cervical canal dilatation time, resection and total operation time,
 complications, second‐look procedures, conversion to bipolar resectoscopy
Notes Conference proceeding. Irrelevant clinical outcomes reported in this conference proceeding. This trial included 5 arms (ulipristal acetate, dienogest, micronised progesterone, norethindrone acetate, placebo). Investigators reported on surgical outcomes at hysteroscopic myomectomy, including fluid balance, cervical canal dilatation time, resection and total operation time, complications, second‐look procedures and conversion to bipolar resectoscopy. Total of 7 participants were recruited at time of publication. None of these participants were treated with an SPRM
