Recruiting studies
- NCT06323785Recruiting
Whole-body hyperthermia for depression
This trial tests whether safely raising your body temperature (whole-body hyperthermia) can help relieve depression. It's for people with moderate to severe major depression who are not currently taking antidepressants.
ZurichAges 18–65 - NCT06384053Recruiting
Heat plus radiation for skin cancer in older adults
This trial tests whether adding heat therapy (hyperthermia) to radiation therapy works well for older adults with larger non-melanoma skin cancers. It may help shrink tumors without needing surgery.
Aarau, Canton of AargauAges 65 years+ - NCT05402839Recruiting
Screening people who may be prone to malignant hyperthermia
This study looks at people who had a dangerous anesthesia reaction called malignant hyperthermia during or after surgery. It may help teams figure out who might be at risk in the future so they can take safer steps next time.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges birth–100 years - NCT06452485Recruiting
Re-irradiation with or without hyperthermia, or surgery only for recurrent breast cancer
This trial compares three treatment options for breast cancer that has come back in the chest or lymph nodes after previous radiation. It looks at adding hyperthermia (heating the tumor area) to re-irradiation, versus just re-irradiation or surgery alone, to see which offers better quality of life and survival with fewer side effects.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT03238378Recruiting
Radiation boost plus warming for recurrent head and neck tumors
This trial tests a “salvage” treatment that combines targeted radiation (brachytherapy) with controlled body warming (hyperthermia) for head and neck cancer that has come back. It may help by better shrinking tumors while fitting the treatment to the tumor’s exact location.
ErlangenAges 18 years+ - NCT03249519Recruiting
Radiation plus heat for advanced cervical cancer
This trial studies whether adding controlled heat (“hyperthermia”) to radiation therapy (or radiation with chemotherapy) can improve outcomes in advanced cervical cancer. It focuses on people who can safely receive intensive pelvic radiation and heat treatment.
ErlangenAges 18 years+ - NCT05099809Recruiting
Hyperthermia plus treatment for locally advanced cancers
This registry study looks at whether adding hyperthermia (raising body temperature) is safe and effective for people with certain locally advanced, non-spread cancers. It will follow outcomes to help doctors understand who may benefit and what side effects to expect.
Sevāgrām, MaharashtraAges 18 years+ - NCT05366270Recruiting
Testing how mild heat affects depression symptoms and brain signals
This study tests whether controlled whole-body heat can change immune-related brain and body signals in people with major depressive disorder. It may help researchers understand why heat affects mood and who might benefit, while closely monitoring safety.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT05397262Recruiting
Bladder cancer treatment with radiation plus heat therapy
This trial studies adding “heat treatment” (hyperthermia) to standard bladder cancer care using radiation, sometimes with chemotherapy. It may help the radiation work better, but your eligibility depends on cancer stage, your general health, and certain heart and metal-safety issues.
ErlangenAges 18 years+ - NCT05821166RecruitingPhase 2
Whole-body heat therapy to boost cancer treatment response
This study tests whether controlled whole-body heat, given along with standard cancer treatment, can help those therapies work better. It is designed for several specific advanced cancers in situations where care is focused on symptoms and tumor control.
BerlinAges 18–100 - NCT05993910Recruiting
Hyperthermia treatment database for cancer patients
This study collects information from cancer patients receiving hyperthermia treatment, which uses heat to help fight cancer. It helps doctors learn more about how well hyperthermia works and how safe it is.
BerlinAges Any age - NCT06546969RecruitingPhase 1
Combination therapy for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and heat therapy (hyperthermia) with a special radiation technique for advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer that hasn't been treated before. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 21 years+ - NCT06812065Recruiting
Heat and hydrogen peroxide for skin warts
This trial tests whether applying heat combined with a common disinfectant (hydrogen peroxide) can safely and effectively remove viral skin warts. It may be an option if you have common, plantar, or genital warts and are between 16 and 65 years old.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 16–65 - NCT06831981Recruiting
Heat therapy with chemo and radiation for rectal cancer
This trial tests if adding heat therapy (hyperthermia) to standard chemotherapy and radiation helps treat rectal cancer that has high-risk features. Heat therapy is thought to make cancer cells more sensitive to treatment.
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06835049RecruitingPhase 2
Heating therapy before surgery for high-risk soft tissue sarcoma
This trial tests a new approach for high-risk soft tissue sarcoma of the arm, leg, or trunk. Before surgery, you would receive chemotherapy combined with local hyperthermia (a treatment that gently heats the tumor area) to see if this can improve outcomes.
AarauAges 18 years+ - NCT07372300RecruitingPhase 3
Heat therapy plus standard care for advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding modulated electro-hyperthermia (a gentle heat treatment) to standard therapy (radiation and chemotherapy) before surgery helps control locally advanced rectal cancer. It is for people whose cancer has not spread to other parts of the body.
Chiayi City, Dalin TownshipAges 20 years+ - NCT07433036Recruiting
ER treatment study for overheating
This study tests how well emergency room protocols work for treating high body temperature. It is for healthy people who are not taking certain medications or supplements that affect how the body handles heat.
Colorado Springs, ColoradoAges 18–65 - NCT07534865Recruiting
Heat and Hydrogen Peroxide Patch for Common Warts
This study tests a new patch that combines gentle heat with hydrogen peroxide to treat common warts on hands, feet, or fingers. The patch is applied directly to the wart and may help your body clear the infection.
ShenyangAges 6–65 - NCT07565350Recruiting
Heat and hydrogen peroxide for stubborn viral warts
This trial tests combining local heat therapy with a hydrogen peroxide solution to treat viral warts that haven't responded to other treatments like freezing or lasers. The goal is to find a new option for people frustrated by warts that keep coming back.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges Any age - NCT07564440Enrolling by invitation
Safety Study of Controlled Whole-Body Heat Treatment
This study tests whether a temperature management system can safely raise your body temperature to fever levels in a controlled medical setting. Researchers want to understand how your body responds and ensure the procedure is safe for future use.
Aventura, FloridaAges 18–65 - NCT07059819Enrolling by invitation
Local heat therapy for persistent high-risk HPV infection
This study tests whether local heat therapy can help clear a high-risk HPV infection that has lasted at least 3 months. It is for women who have no serious cervical cell changes or only mild changes (CIN) and who are generally healthy.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–65 - NCT05426928Recruiting
Study of body heat modeling during HIPEC surgery
This trial studies how the body’s heat changes during HIPEC surgery for abdominal cancer. It may help improve how doctors plan and deliver HIPEC in the future.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05484739Recruiting
Testing cooling methods for heat waves in older adults
This study looks at how different cooling methods affect older adults during heat waves. It may help identify safer ways to reduce heat-related stress for people at risk.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hyperthermia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 35 recruiting hyperthermia 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 hyperthermia 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 hyperthermia 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.
