WroclawAges 18–85 - NCT07064616Recruiting
Pulsed field vs. cryoballoon ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation
This trial compares two techniques—pulsed field ablation and cryoballoon ablation—to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat that lasts less than a year). The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for patients.
Sagamihara, KanagawaAges 18–85 - NCT06052098Recruiting
Comparing two ablation methods for early-stage lung cancer
This study compares two ways to destroy early-stage lung cancer without surgery: one using a needle through the chest (CT-guided) and another using a thin tube through the mouth (bronchoscopy-guided). It might be an option if you have small, outer-edge lung cancer and cannot or prefer not to have surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07789340Recruiting

Comparing two procedures for persistent atrial fibrillation with enlarged left atrium
This study compares two procedures to treat persistent atrial fibrillation in people whose upper left heart chamber is enlarged: catheter ablation (a minimally invasive procedure using a tube through a vein) versus thoracoscopic ablation (a surgical approach using small chest incisions). The goal is to see which method better restores a normal heart rhythm.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07728539Recruiting
Comparing a faster ablation method for atrial fibrillation

MoscowAges 18–70 - NCT07109141Recruiting
Registry of Heart Rhythm Fix Procedures Using Pulsed Field Ablation in Poland

Study of scar-guided ablation for ventricular tachycardia
This trial is testing a new approach to treating a fast, dangerous heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) that comes from scar tissue in people with ischemic cardiomyopathy. The goal is to use a special mapping technique to guide the ablation (a procedure that destroys the tiny area causing the problem) to stop the arrhythmia.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04823299Recruiting
Atrial fibrillation ablation using two different energy types
This trial tests whether one ablation approach works better than another for paroxysmal (intermittent) atrial fibrillation by targeting the heart’s “triggers” and “substrate” (where the rhythm problem is). If you qualify, you’ll be randomly assigned to one of two ablation energy methods during a pulmonary vein isolation procedure.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05610215Recruiting
Hybrid or catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation in hypertrophic heart
This trial compares two procedures to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in people who also have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (thickened heart muscle). It looks at whether the hybrid approach or a catheter-based approach works better for controlling symptoms and heart rhythm.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07726901Recruiting
Comparing Two Ablation Methods for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
This study compares two techniques for treating persistent atrial fibrillation: one uses standard anatomy-based ablation, and the other uses a special mapping system to guide the procedure. It aims to find which method works better for people who have not had prior ablation.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06711120Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for varicose veins in the lower legs
This study compares two minimally invasive treatments (radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation) for varicose veins in the small saphenous vein. If your varicose veins cause symptoms like pain, swelling, or heaviness, this trial may help determine which treatment works better.
ChengduAges 18–90 - NCT06207383Recruiting
Comparing heart treatments for atrial fibrillation and heart failure
This study compares two treatments for people with atrial fibrillation and heart failure: one is a procedure to fix the irregular heartbeat (AF ablation), and the other involves a different type of pacing for the heart. It aims to find which approach helps you feel better and stay out of the hospital.
GrazAges 60 years+ - NCT07561242Recruiting
Skin response to fractional laser treatments in darker skin tones
This study measures how skin changes after two types of laser treatments (gentler and stronger) on the forearm. Researchers want to understand how these lasers work on darker skin types to improve safety and results.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–60 - NCT07536087Recruiting
Heat treatment for pancreatic cysts and neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure that uses heat to treat certain pancreatic cysts (fluid-filled sacs) and small neuroendocrine tumors (hormone-producing growths). It may be an option if surgery isn't possible or if you prefer to avoid it.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT06791915Recruiting
Comparing breathing method during heart ablation for AFib
This trial studies two ways of using a breathing machine during a heart procedure called radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation (AFib). It aims to find which method is better and safer.

Comparing treatments for frail older adults with atrial fibrillation
This study tests whether combining a heart procedure (catheter ablation) with a device to close the left atrial appendage (LAAO) is safer or better than blood thinners alone for frail patients 75 years or older with atrial fibrillation and high stroke risk. It aims to find a treatment that reduces stroke while lowering bleeding risks.

Comparing ablation with medication care for older adults with atrial fibrillation
This study compares two approaches for older adults with atrial fibrillation: a procedure called catheter ablation (which uses heat or cold to fix the heart's rhythm) versus conservative care (medications and lifestyle changes). The goal is to see which approach is better for improving quality of life and reducing symptoms in people aged 78 and above.

New heart-ablation method for long-lasting arrhythmias
This study tests a new way to destroy the tissue causing dangerous heart rhythms using a detailed model of how the heart's electrical signals spread. It may be an option for people with long-lasting atrial fibrillation or hard-to-control ventricular arrhythmias who are already scheduled for a standard ablation procedure.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ablation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 648 recruiting ablation studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a ablation trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a ablation trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
