CT scan before catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation
This trial is testing whether a coronary CT angiography scan, performed before catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, helps doctors find hidden blockages in heart arteries. It may help people without known heart disease avoid unnecessary procedures.
Hellerup, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06056271Recruiting
Tracking AI use during AF ablation in real-world care
This trial is for people with atrial fibrillation (AF) who are having or recently had a catheter ablation procedure. It looks at how using a special artificial intelligence tool, called VX1, during the procedure affects patient outcomes.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 21 years+ - NCT06096246Recruiting
Comparing treatments for persistent atrial fibrillation
This study compares two treatments for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) that lasts more than 7 days but less than 2 years: electrical cardioversion (a shock to reset your heart rhythm) versus catheter ablation (using radio waves to fix the heart's electrical pathways). It aims to find which option works better for patients like you.
LondonAges 18–85 - NCT06099730Recruiting
Pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation
This trial tests a new method called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of irregular heartbeat. It aims to safely stop AF episodes by targeting specific areas in the heart, and may help people with paroxysmal (coming and going) or persistent AF who haven't had this procedure before.
Jonesboro, ArkansasAges 18–80 - NCT06103669Recruiting
Local treatment for limited cancer spread
This trial tests whether using local treatments (like targeted radiation or ablation) on a few new spots of cancer can help people whose cancer is otherwise stable on their current treatment. It enrolls people with various solid tumors, such as breast, gynecologic, head & neck, sarcoma, or other types.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06104592RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation before CAR T-cell therapy for high-risk large B-cell lymphoma
This trial tests if giving radiation to all visible tumor sites before standard CAR T-cell therapy can improve outcomes for people with high-risk large B-cell lymphoma. You may be eligible if you have at least one large tumor (5 cm or bigger) that can be targeted with radiation.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06125925Recruiting
Ablation for AFib in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction
This study tests whether a catheter ablation procedure can help people with atrial fibrillation and a kind of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It looks at whether the procedure can improve symptoms and heart function.
NanjingAges 18–80 - NCT06152406Recruiting
Ablate and Pace HIS for atrial fibrillation and heart failure
This study tests a new approach called 'Ablate and Pace HIS' for people with atrial fibrillation and heart failure who haven't improved with other treatments. It combines a heart ablation procedure with a special type of pacing to help your heart pump more efficiently and reduce symptoms.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18–100 - NCT06157437Recruiting
Focal pulse ablation for atrial flutter
This study tests a new device that uses focused pulses of energy to treat a common type of fast heartbeat called typical atrial flutter. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for people who have had at least one episode in the past 6 months.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06166628Recruiting
Comparing two procedures for knee osteoarthritis pain
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures—embolization (blocking blood flow) and nerve ablation (blocking pain signals)—to see which works better for knee osteoarthritis pain. If you have long-lasting knee pain and are considering knee replacement surgery, this trial may help find another option.
Kingston, OntarioAges 40 years+ - NCT06170736Recruiting
Radiofrequency vs. doppler-guided surgery for hemorrhoids
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures for treating symptomatic grade 2 or 3 hemorrhoids: radiofrequency ablation and doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation. The goal is to see which one works better and is safer.
AmiensAges 18–80 - NCT06212453RecruitingPhase 2
Ultrasound-guided heat therapy for enlarged prostate
This trial tests a new, less invasive treatment for enlarged prostate (BPH) that uses ultrasound and heat to shrink the part of the prostate blocking urine flow. It aims to improve urinary symptoms and avoid the need for more invasive surgery.
ParisAges 40 years+ - NCT06221787Recruiting
Stem cell exosomes for treating facial melasma
This trial tests whether stem cell exosomes, combined with laser or microneedle treatments, can improve melasma (dark patches on the face). It aims to find a better way to lighten these spots.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–60 - NCT06249347Recruiting
New ablation approach for persistent atrial fibrillation with stroke risk
This trial tests a new type of catheter ablation (using heat to create scar lines in the heart) for people with persistent atrial fibrillation who have a higher risk of stroke or bleeding. It aims to see if this approach can help prevent strokes and reduce the need for long-term blood thinners.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06262633Recruiting
Testing targeted microwave ablation for early prostate cancer
This study tests a new, less invasive treatment using targeted microwave ablation (TMA) to destroy prostate cancer tumors. It is designed for men with early-stage, low to intermediate-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread, offering a possible alternative to surgery or radiation.
ShatinAges 45–75 - NCT06274879RecruitingPhase 2
Radiofrequency ablation for bile duct cancer
This trial tests a procedure that uses heat (radiofrequency ablation) to treat bile duct cancer that can't be removed by surgery. If you have this type of cancer and are starting standard treatment, this study wants to see if adding this heat treatment is safe and might help.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06278506Recruiting
Comparing surgery versus ablation for small kidney tumors
This trial compares two standard treatments for small kidney tumors: removing the tumor surgically (resection) or destroying it with heat or cold (ablation). The goal is to see which approach works better for tumors 3 cm or smaller.

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.
