Recruiting studies
- NCT06676553RecruitingPhase 4

This trial tests a new way to perform a procedure called renal denervation, which uses radio waves to calm overactive kidney nerves that can raise blood pressure. By getting feedback during the procedure, doctors hope to make the treatment more effective for people with high blood pressure.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06689488Recruiting
Microwave ablation for lung cancer via bronchoscopy
This study tests a new, less invasive way to treat lung cancer using microwave energy delivered through a thin tube inserted into the airway. It is for people with small, confirmed lung tumors who are already being considered for surgery, and who cannot or prefer not to have blood thinners.
Amsterdam, The NetherlandsAges 18 years+ - NCT06694636Recruiting
RF Ablation of Nerve for Advanced Liver Cancer
This trial tests whether using radiofrequency ablation (using heat energy) to target specific nerves can help treat advanced liver cancer (HCC) that has spread or grown despite standard treatments.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 25–75 - NCT06699342Recruiting
Pacing and heart ablation for atrial fibrillation
This trial tests a combination of heart pacing and a specialized ablation procedure in older adults with permanent atrial fibrillation that hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to improve symptoms and reduce hospital stays related to heart failure.
Seoul, Jongno-guAges 65 years+ - NCT06705803Recruiting
Prostate cancer ablation registry study
This study collects information from men with prostate cancer who are having or have had a procedure to destroy prostate tumors (ablation). It aims to track outcomes over time to improve future treatments.
Hyde Park, IllinoisAges 22 years+ - NCT07403760Recruiting
Ablation for atrial fibrillation in patients 80 and older
This study investigates whether a catheter ablation procedure can improve wellbeing and reduce the risk of serious events for people 80 and older with symptomatic atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if this treatment offers better outcomes than standard care in this age group.
BeijingAges 80 years+ - NCT06712745RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Personalized lung cancer radiation therapy study
This trial tests a new approach to radiation therapy for central lung cancers, giving high doses in very short bursts to see if it's safe and effective. It may be an option for people whose tumors are not too large and are in a specific central location.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06725576Recruiting
Comparing microwave ablation vs. surgery for low-risk thyroid cancer
This study compares a less invasive procedure (microwave ablation) with traditional surgery for treating a small, low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. If you have a single, small tumor with certain low-risk gene changes, you might be able to avoid surgery and have a quicker recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06729762Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided heat treatment for benign thyroid nodules
This study tests a treatment that uses ultrasound and heat (radiofrequency or microwave) to shrink benign thyroid nodules. It's for people who have a non-cancerous nodule that causes symptoms or worry, and who can't or don't want surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06733753Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided heat therapy for thyroid nodules
This trial tests a procedure that uses heat to treat thyroid nodules that are not cancerous but have uncertain results from a biopsy. It may be an option for people who cannot or choose not to have surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06733740Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided heat treatment for small thyroid cancer
This trial tests a minimally invasive heat treatment (thermal ablation) guided by ultrasound for small papillary thyroid cancers. It may be an option for patients who want to avoid surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06733766Recruiting
Heat therapy for returning thyroid cancer
This trial tests using ultrasound-guided heat (thermal ablation) to treat thyroid cancer that has come back in the neck after a prior thyroidectomy. The goal is to destroy the recurrent tumor using a needle-like device, avoiding another surgery for patients whose cancer has not spread elsewhere.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06762717Recruiting
FARAPULSE pulsed field ablation for heart rhythm problems
This trial tests a new type of energy (pulsed field) to treat abnormal heart rhythms. It may be less damaging to nearby tissues than traditional ablation.
Beijing, China/BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06766643RecruitingPhase 2
Stereotactic radiosurgery vs. radiofrequency ablation for liver cancer
This study compares two nonsurgical procedures for liver cancer: stereotactic radiosurgery (focused radiation) and radiofrequency ablation (heat therapy). It is for people whose tumor is in a tricky spot near major blood vessels or other structures, making surgery difficult, and who have not received prior treatment.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT06776588Recruiting
Microwave ablation with biopsy for ground-glass lung cancer
This trial tests a treatment that uses heat (microwave ablation) to destroy ground-glass lung nodules while also taking a tissue sample (biopsy) to confirm the diagnosis. It's for people whose lung nodules are 3 cm or smaller and who cannot or choose not to have surgery.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18–75 - NCT06784466Recruiting
New ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation
This study is testing a new type of ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It uses special energy to create scar tissue in the heart to block faulty electrical signals. If you have AF that isn’t controlled by medication, you may qualify.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT06790329Recruiting
Weight loss trial using stomach stapling and surface ablation
This trial tests a combined procedure that uses stomach stapling (endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty) plus ablation of the stomach lining to help with weight loss. It is for people with obesity who have not been able to lose weight with diet, exercise, or medication alone.
ShatinAges 18–70 - NCT06801392Recruiting
Pulsed-field ablation for non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
This trial tests a new way to treat non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) using a focused type of ablation (pulsed-field energy) on specific areas of the heart. It aims to see if targeting the left atrial wall and mitral isthmus can improve outcomes for people who have not had this procedure before.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT06825104Recruiting
Long-term comparison of two ablation methods for persistent AF
This long-term study follows people who already completed a 12-month study comparing two types of heart ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation. It looks at how well the treatments worked over time.

Pacing vs medication for heart rate control in AF with heart failure
This trial tests whether a procedure that regulates your heart rhythm (pacing) works better than medication for people who have permanent atrial fibrillation, heart failure with a normal pumping strength, and were hospitalized for heart failure in the past year.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT06856603RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation therapy for people with 6 to 10 metastases
This trial tests a special type of radiation (Stereotactic Ablative Radiation Therapy) for people who have 6 to 10 metastases from a cancer that is growing or has not fully responded to treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ablation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 668 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.
