Recruiting studies
- NCT05707637Recruiting
A heart procedure registry comparing two ablation approaches
This study keeps a detailed record of people with certain abnormal heart rhythm beats who are treated with a catheter ablation. It compares outcomes after a standard “unipolar” approach using radio-frequency ablation and then a further step (“bipolar” radio-frequency ablation) when appropriate.
WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT07106970Recruiting
Comparing two ablation approaches for persistent atrial fibrillation
This trial tests whether adding extra ablation lines to the standard pulmonary vein isolation procedure is more effective for people with persistent atrial fibrillation that hasn't been helped by medications. The goal is to improve symptoms like palpitations, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07077811Enrolling by invitation
Pulsed field ablation for heart failure with preserved pumping strength
This trial tests a new procedure called pulsed field ablation for people who have both persistent atrial fibrillation and a type of heart failure (HFpEF). It aims to see if this ablation safely helps control the heart rhythm.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07068438Recruiting
Pulsed electric field for chronic bronchitis
This study tests a new treatment that uses brief electric pulses to clear blocked airways in people with chronic bronchitis. It might help if you have a long-term cough with mucus and standard medicines aren't enough.
Hefei, AnuiAges 35–80 - NCT06984731Recruiting
Same-day ablation and WATCHMAN closure for AFib
This study tests whether doing a common AFib procedure (radiofrequency ablation) is safe and effective at the same time as closing off the left atrial appendage with the WATCHMAN FLX device. It's for people with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who are already candidates for both treatments.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07051811Recruiting
Blood vessel treatment for hard-to-control high blood pressure
This trial tests a new device that uses ultrasound to treat nerves in the kidney arteries that may be overactive and raising your blood pressure. It's for people whose blood pressure stays high despite taking at least two medications.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07054229Recruiting
Microwave ablation for low-risk thyroid microcancer
This study looks at whether microwave ablation, a minimally invasive treatment, works as well as surgery for small, low-risk thyroid cancers. It uses special ultrasound and genetic tests to help decide the best treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07037264Enrolling by invitation
Laser treatment for thyroid surgery scars
This study tests if a special laser can improve scars from thyroid surgery. It is for people with fresh or older scars in the middle of the neck.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07033572Recruiting
Hybrid scope surgery and ablation for both sides of thyroid cancer
This study tests a combined approach—removing the main thyroid cancer with a tiny camera (endoscope) and using targeted heat to destroy a small nodule on the opposite side. It aims to treat both sides of the thyroid at once with less scarring and faster recovery.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–65 - NCT07024927Recruiting
Heart rhythm disorder registry
This study observes people with atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia who are having their first catheter ablation procedure. The goal is to collect information to improve future treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07018596Recruiting
New pulsed field ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
This trial tests a new type of heart procedure that uses gentle electrical pulses to fix abnormal signals in the upper chambers of the heart for people with a specific type of atrial fibrillation that comes and goes on its own. It may be an option if your AFib episodes stop within 7 days and medications haven't helped enough.
Prague, RoentgenovaAges 18–85 - NCT07016620Recruiting
Laser therapy for BPH after prior treatment
This study tests if laser therapy can help men whose BPH symptoms came back after a previous less invasive procedure. It's a way to treat the blockage without more major surgery.
Cleveland, OhioAges 40 years+ - NCT07006493Recruiting
Radiofrequency ablation for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
This trial tests a new treatment that uses radiofrequency energy (similar to heat) to shrink the thickened heart muscle blocking blood flow. It is for people with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who have symptoms despite medication and are not able or willing to have heart surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05266144Recruiting
Catheter ablation for non-valvular atrial fibrillation
This trial studies catheter ablation, a procedure that targets heart rhythm triggers, for people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It may help improve rhythm control, but you must meet specific heart and testing requirements and avoid certain conditions.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05679427Recruiting
Surgery-like radiation for limited bone spread
This trial compares two types of highly focused radiation (ablative radiosurgery versus stereotactic radiation in 5 sessions) for people with a small number of metastases in the bone. It aims to find which approach controls these spots with fewer side effects while keeping the treatment “radical,” meaning trying to wipe out the targeted lesions.
Milan, MIAges 18–85 - NCT06959121Recruiting
Treating AFib during open-heart surgery with a new device
This trial tests a new device used during open-heart surgery to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib) by delivering tiny, fast electrical pulses to the heart tissue. It is for people who are already having heart surgery and want to also treat their AFib at the same time.
St. Helena, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT06953752Recruiting
Music during atrial fibrillation ablation under light sedation
This study tests whether listening to music during a common heart procedure for atrial fibrillation (called catheter ablation) can improve your experience while you are awake but relaxed. It may help you feel calmer and more comfortable.
Shaoxing, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT06946550Recruiting
Laser treatment for scarring hair loss with gene study
This trial tests if a non-ablative laser can help treat scarring alopecia (a type of hair loss where follicles are replaced by scar tissue). Researchers will also study your hair follicles' genes to understand how the laser works. It may be an option if your hair loss has been stable for at least 3 months.
Elmsford, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06937983Recruiting
Mapping to guide heart rhythm treatment
This study tests a new way of mapping damaged heart muscle to improve the precision of a procedure called catheter ablation, which treats dangerously fast heart rhythms. It may help people with heart disease who need this procedure.
Coventry, West MidlandsAges 18 years+ - NCT06929897Enrolling by invitation
Comparing Two Ablation Methods for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
This study compares two types of ablation (a procedure that uses energy to fix irregular heartbeats) for people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It tests whether adding extra treatment to the back of the heart's left upper chamber helps improve outcomes compared to standard treatment alone.
SeoulAges 20–80 - NCT06869122Recruiting
Microwave ablation for lung cancer in surgery candidates
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure that uses microwave energy to destroy lung tumors. It is for people who are already candidates for surgery but may want a less invasive option.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06864494Recruiting
Testing a protein marker for adenomyosis diagnosis
This study measures a protein called L-PGDS (lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthase) in blood, urine, and tissue samples to see if it can help diagnose adenomyosis (a condition that causes heavy periods and pelvic pain). Researchers are comparing levels in women with and without adenomyosis who are having a hysterectomy, as well as in women without symptoms.
NîmesAges 18–57 - NCT06859801Recruiting
Bone pain study combining ablation and radiation
This study looks at combining two treatments for painful bone tumors that have spread from other cancers. It tests if using both treatments together provides better pain relief than either alone.
