BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07363278Recruiting
Study of a new device for atrial fibrillation ablation
This study looks at how often silent brain lesions happen after a new type of heart procedure for atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). The procedure uses a device called the Varipulse catheter to help fix the heart's rhythm.
Seoul, Jongro-kuAges 19 years+ - NCT07376837Recruiting
Radiofrequency ablation for small low-risk thyroid cancer
This study tests whether radiofrequency ablation (a heat-based treatment applied through the skin) can safely and effectively cure small, low-risk papillary thyroid cancers. It is designed for people whose tumors are small, have not spread, and who either cannot have surgery or prefer not to.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07379476RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted treatment for remaining spots in EGFR lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation or surgery to your regular osimertinib treatment can better control any remaining spots of lung cancer. It is for people with a specific EGFR mutation whose cancer has shrunk but left a few active sites.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07392333Recruiting
Nerve ablation for chronic low back pain
This study tests a treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to target specific nerves in the spine that may be causing your low back pain. If you qualify, you would receive the OptaBlate BVN procedure and be followed over time to see how well it works.
Fort Lauderdale, FloridaAges 22 years+ - NCT03355456Recruiting
Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation with low-voltage mapping
This trial studies a catheter procedure that targets areas in the heart that show low electrical voltage to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). You may be eligible if you have non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, have tried heart rhythm medicines, and your scan shows low-voltage areas in the left atrium.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–85 - NCT06178354Recruiting
Freezing or ultrasound for early prostate cancer
This trial is testing whether freezing (cryotherapy) or using high-frequency ultrasound (HIFU) to destroy only the cancer spots in the prostate is safe and effective for men with early-stage prostate cancer. It's a less invasive option that targets just the tumor, not the whole prostate.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06101290Recruiting
Local therapy for progressing spots in genitourinary cancers
This trial explores whether treating only the new or growing spots of cancer (called oligoprogression) with local therapies like radiation or ablation can help you stay on your current systemic treatment longer. It is for people with prostate, bladder, or kidney cancer that has started to progress in a few places.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02759744Enrolling by invitation
Laser treatment for certain prostate tumors guided by MRI images
This trial tests whether a precisely targeted laser procedure—guided by MRI images—can treat prostate cancer. It may help some men who have a certain type and location of tumor while aiming to avoid nearby sensitive structures.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT07433634Recruiting
Tracking recovery after BVN ablation for chronic low back pain
This study looks at how well a procedure called BVN ablation (which uses heat to stop pain signals from the vertebrae) works for people with chronic low back pain that comes from the spine. If you already have this procedure scheduled, researchers will track your recovery and pain relief over time.
