Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06486818Recruiting
Ablation for premature heartbeats with unknown cause
This trial studies how well a procedure called ablation works for people with a specific type of extra heartbeat that comes from one spot in the heart and has no clear underlying cause. It looks at what predicts success in the short term.
AsyutAges Any age - NCT06503744Recruiting
Comparing two minimally invasive heat treatments for early lung cancer
This trial compares two types of radiofrequency ablation (a heat-based treatment) for early-stage lung cancer that is located in the outer parts of the lung. One approach uses a needle through the chest wall, the other uses a bronchoscope through the airways. The goal is to see which works better for people who cannot have surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06505798Recruiting
Ablation vs medication for heart failure with atrial fibrillation
This trial compares a procedure called ablation (using cold, heat, or electric pulses to fix irregular heartbeats) with standard medications to see which better treats heart failure in people who also have atrial fibrillation. It may help if your heart's pumping ability is reduced and you still have symptoms despite medications.
HalifaxAges 18 years+ - NCT06543173Recruiting
Preventive heart ablation with defibrillator in high-risk patients
This study tests if doing a special heart procedure (catheter ablation) at the same time as implanting a defibrillator (ICD) can prevent dangerous heart rhythms better than the ICD alone. It is for people with a very weak heart pump due to blocked arteries who are getting a first-time ICD.
Copenhagen, Region HAges 18 years+ - NCT06553625Recruiting
RF ablation study for pain or CNS conditions
This study observes how well a Boston Scientific radiofrequency (RF) system works for treating pain or central nervous system (CNS) conditions. It helps researchers understand real-world benefits for patients scheduled for this procedure.
CologneAges Any age - NCT06560047Recruiting
Early catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation with heart failure
This trial tests whether early catheter ablation (a procedure to fix irregular heartbeats) helps people who have both heart failure and atrial fibrillation. It looks at how this treatment affects your heart function and quality of life.
AalborgAges 18–80 - NCT06563388RecruitingPhase 3
SABR for limited metastatic cancer (ID-COMET trial)
This study tests a precise radiation technique called SABR to treat cancer that has spread to a few spots. It aims to see if this approach can help control the cancer better than usual treatment, especially for lung, prostate, colorectal, or other solid tumors with limited spread.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 1 year+ - NCT06564415Recruiting
Laser treatment registry for enlarged prostate symptoms
This study is a European registry tracking how a laser treatment (TPLA) helps men with an enlarged prostate and bothersome urinary symptoms. It aims to see how safe and effective this new procedure is for daily life.
FlorenceAges 18 years+ - NCT06591260Recruiting
