HMB is both a symptom and a potential signal of underlying reproductive or systemic dysfunction, including coagulopathies, vascular fragility, inflammation, and abnormal uterine contractility. Its impact is profound, physically, emotionally, and socioeconomically, but current diagnostic practice relies heavily on subjective reporting.\n\nObjective assessment of blood loss is possible with the alkaline haematin test, the gold standard, but it is rarely used in clinical settings due to logistical barriers. This has led to misclassification in research and clinical care, limiting progress in understanding the mechanisms of HMB. Emerging evidence suggests that subtle abnormalities in uterine peristalsis, endometrial repair, and tissue composition may be detectable with advanced imaging and electrophysiology.\n\nThe REPAIR study addresses this by integrating anatomical (MRI), functional (wearable electrophysiology), and biological (biosample analysis) measures in women with and without objectively confirmed HMB. This approach aims to establish reproducible physiological signatures that could form the basis of scalable, non-invasive diagnostics.","Participants will be recruited from in and around Hampshire with the ability to attend Southampton General Hospital for appointments. They will be recruited from both within hospital settings but also the community as many women suffer with HMB without seeking support.",[45,48],{"label":46,"type":38,"description":47,"interventionNames":38},"Menorrhagia","diagnosed heavy periods with haematin test (\\>\u002F80ml)",{"label":49,"type":38,"description":50,"interventionNames":38},"Normal periods","not diagnosed as heavy with haematin test (\\\u003C80ml)",[52],{"name":53,"affiliation":5,"role":54},"Ying Cheong","PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR",[56],{"name":53,"role":57,"phone":58,"phoneExt":38,"email":59},"CONTACT","+44 7977011443","y.cheong@soton.ac.uk",[61],{"facility":62,"status":63,"city":64,"state":38,"zip":65,"country":66,"countryCode":67,"cosmosGeoPoint":68,"geoPoint":73,"contacts":38},"University Hospital Southampton","RECRUITING","Southampton","so16 6yd","United Kingdom","UK",{"type":69,"coordinates":70},"Point",[71,72],-1.40428,50.90395,{"lat":72,"lon":71},{"type":75,"investigatorFullName":38,"investigatorTitle":38,"investigatorAffiliation":38,"oldNameTitle":38,"oldOrganization":38},"SPONSOR",[77],{"name":78,"class":6},"University of Auckland, New Zealand","100635846",false,"NCT07557992","Reframing Endometrial Physiology by Advanced Integrated Research","REPAIR","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* 18-45\n* Having Periods\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Currently pregnant or breastfeeding.\n* Known uterine malignancy, severe anaemia requiring urgent treatment, or other acute gynaecological emergencies.\n* Inability to undergo MRI (e.g., pacemaker, severe claustrophobia).\n* Inability to provide informed consent.\n* Current use of hormonal treatment, or use in the last 2 months",true,"FEMALE","18 Years","45 Years",{"count":90,"type":91},100,"ESTIMATED","OBSERVATIONAL","Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) affects 1 in 3 women and can significantly impact quality of life.
