ÉchirollesAges 18 years+ - NCT06718192RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bleomycin vs. freezing for plantar warts
This study compares two treatments for plantar warts: a medicine called bleomycin and freezing (cryotherapy). It aims to see which works better and is safe. If you have a plantar wart, you may be able to join and get one of these treatments.
Yiwu, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT06520631Recruiting
Cryotherapy for pain from dialysis needle insertion
This study tests if applying cold therapy (cryotherapy) to the access site before needle insertion can reduce pain during hemodialysis. If you are on dialysis and have an arteriovenous fistula, this might help make your treatment more comfortable.
CairoAges 30–50 - NCT05091255Recruiting
Cold therapy for desmoid tumors in adults
This trial tests whether “cold therapy” (cryotherapy) can shrink or control desmoid tumors. It may help adults whose tumors are located in certain body areas where cryotherapy is considered safe.
Bologna, BOAges 18 years+ - NCT05199376Recruiting
Cryotherapy treatment for painful, hard-to-remove NF1 tumors
This trial tests whether freezing treatment done through the skin (cryotherapy) can reduce pain and discomfort from certain non-cancer NF1 tumors that can’t be safely removed. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with NF1, a painful or bothersome benign lesion, and can safely undergo procedures like MRI.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06618742Recruiting
Cooling balloon for swallowing trouble in esophageal cancer
This study tests a cooling balloon device to treat trouble swallowing caused by advanced esophageal cancer. It aims to open up the esophagus so you can eat more easily.
UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06461442Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Freezing vs. cream for sun-damaged spots
This study compares two ways to treat sun-damaged spots called actinic keratoses: freezing them (cryotherapy) or applying a chemotherapy cream (5-fluorouracil). The goal is to see which works better and is safer for people with many spots on their head, neck, arms, or legs.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06772662Recruiting
Ice machine tubing placement study for knee surgery
This study looks at how teens prefer the tubing placement on their ice machine after knee surgery. It may help improve comfort during recovery.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 10–18 - NCT06955702Recruiting
Cryotherapy to Prevent Eyelash Loss from Chemo
This trial tests if cooling the eyelids during chemotherapy can prevent eyelash loss in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer. It is for those who have not yet started treatment.
Santander, CantabriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07169799Recruiting
Freezing spray for GAVE stomach bleeding
This study tests a freezing spray (Tru-Freeze) to treat GAVE, a condition that causes stomach bleeding. It may help people who need blood transfusions because of GAVE and have had few or no prior endoscopic treatments.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07336368RecruitingPhase 3
Cold therapy plus steroid injections for raised scars
This study tests whether adding a cold therapy treatment (cryotherapy) to standard steroid injections can improve keloids and hypertrophic scars. If you are already getting steroid shots for your scar, you may be able to join and get both treatments on different parts of one scar.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02381990Recruiting
MRI- and ultrasound-guided freezing treatment for low-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests using MRI and ultrasound together to guide freezing (cryoablation) treatment for prostate cancer. It may help target the tumor more precisely while avoiding areas that could cause side effects.
Miami Lakes, FloridaAges 55 years+ - NCT03129854Recruiting
ADT with or without freezing the prostate for spread cancer
This trial compares standard hormone therapy (ADT) alone versus ADT plus a procedure that freezes the prostate (cryoablation) in people whose prostate cancer has spread. It looks to see whether adding freezing improves outcomes while keeping treatment safe.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–90 - NCT07531056RecruitingEarly Phase 1
5-Fluorouracil injections with or without freezing for keloid scars
This trial tests two ways to treat keloids (thick, raised scars that grow beyond the original wound): injecting a medication called 5-fluorouracil alone, or combining it with cryotherapy (freezing). The goal is to see which approach works better for reducing pain, itching, and visible scarring.
Chak Four Hundred Fifty-fourAges 18–50 - NCT07603960Recruiting
Cold therapy to ease endometriosis pelvic pain

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cryotherapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 50 recruiting cryotherapy 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 cryotherapy 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 cryotherapy 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.
