Raman Spectroscopy and Endometriosis

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Endometrioma; Endometriosis
• Interventions: Diagnostic Test: raman analysis

• Registration Number: NCT04015297
• Lead Sponsor: Acibadem University

Brief Summary

We aimed to use Raman spectroscopy to detect differences between healthy controls and patients with surgically proven endometriosis.

Detailed Description

Endometriosis is a chronic disease whose molecular basis is still unknown and diagnostic methods are controversial. The diagnosis is still invasive and there are no accepted ways which are molecular-based and noninvasive. Raman spectroscopy is a vibrational spectroscopy technique which can analyze specific spectral patterns, substances and molecular changes with high specificity. We aimed to use Raman spectroscopy to detect differences between healthy controls and patients with surgically proven endometriosis.
