Ultrasound and nerve treatment for facet-joint low back pain
This study tests whether a procedure that uses focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) and/or a radiofrequency nerve treatment can reduce long-lasting low back pain caused by facet-joint arthritis. It may help people whose pain improves strongly after a targeted numbing injection to specific back nerves.
Taipei, Please SelectAges 20–79 - NCT06553625Recruiting

CologneAges Any age - NCT05337241Recruiting
Saline enhanced needle ablation for stubborn heart rhythm
This trial studies a special “needle” ablation method (with saline) to treat a dangerous, repeat heart rhythm problem called monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT). It’s for adults whose VT keeps coming back despite prior treatments and who may not benefit from another standard ablation.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07195305Recruiting
Treating adenomyosis bleeding with heat or artery blocking
This study compares two treatments for heavy bleeding caused by adenomyosis: a procedure that uses heat to remove the inner lining of the uterus (endometrial ablation) and a procedure that blocks blood flow to the uterus (uterine artery embolization). If you have been diagnosed with adenomyosis and have tried medication without success, this trial may help decide which treatment is best for you.
BordeauxAges 30–50 - NCT03035747Recruiting
Registry for treatment of varicose veins
This study collects information about people who have varicose veins with abnormal backflow in the leg veins. It’s meant to track how treatments for chronic venous problems are working over time, which can help improve care for others in the future.
Saint PetersburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07211763Recruiting
Comparing carbon dioxide checks during jet ventilation for liver tumor ablation
This study looks at two ways of measuring carbon dioxide levels during a special type of breathing support called jet ventilation. The goal is to see if less invasive checks work as well as standard ones for people having a procedure to treat liver tumors with heat (radiofrequency ablation).
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT03506594Recruiting
Radiofrequency treatment for menopause-related genital symptoms
This trial studies whether a non-surgical heat-based treatment (radiofrequency) can improve genital and urinary symptoms caused by menopause. It may help if your symptoms are bothersome and you meet the study’s safety and health requirements.
Salvador, Estado de BahiaAges 45–65 - NCT06199180Recruiting
Comparing two ablation methods for repeat atrial fibrillation treatment
This trial tests a newer type of energy (pulsed field ablation) against the standard heat-based method (radiofrequency) for people who have already had one ablation and now have atrial fibrillation again. The goal is to see which works better for keeping your heart in a normal rhythm.
GroningenAges 18–80 - NCT06383975Recruiting
Two new treatments for AF that returned after first procedure
This trial tests two new treatments for persistent atrial fibrillation that came back after an initial procedure. One uses a targeted chemical injection, the other uses a special energy field to re-isolate the veins involved.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT07159048Recruiting
Heat therapy for liver tumors
This trial tests a heat-based treatment for liver cancer tumors that uses multiple methods to destroy cancer cells. It may help people with liver tumors that haven't spread and who are healthy enough for treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05266144Recruiting
Catheter ablation for non-valvular atrial fibrillation
This trial studies catheter ablation, a procedure that targets heart rhythm triggers, for people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It may help improve rhythm control, but you must meet specific heart and testing requirements and avoid certain conditions.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07563257Recruiting
Comparing Two Mapping Catheters for Heart Rhythm Ablation
This trial compares two types of specialized catheters used during heart rhythm ablation procedures to help doctors confirm they've created the right burn patterns. If you're having ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation or flutter with complex burn lines planned, this trial may help improve how your procedure is done.
Be’er Ya‘aqovAges 18 years+ - NCT07156877Recruiting
Balloon Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
This study tests a new balloon catheter that uses pulsed electric fields to isolate the veins that carry blood from your lungs to your heart. It may be a treatment option for people with atrial fibrillation who are scheduled for an ablation procedure.
BrugesAges 18 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 - NCT06503744Recruiting
Comparing two minimally invasive heat treatments for early lung cancer
This trial compares two types of radiofrequency ablation (a heat-based treatment) for early-stage lung cancer that is located in the outer parts of the lung. One approach uses a needle through the chest wall, the other uses a bronchoscope through the airways. The goal is to see which works better for people who cannot have surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07441382Recruiting
Comparing treatments for frail older adults with atrial fibrillation
This study tests whether combining a heart procedure (catheter ablation) with a device to close the left atrial appendage (LAAO) is safer or better than blood thinners alone for frail patients 75 years or older with atrial fibrillation and high stroke risk. It aims to find a treatment that reduces stroke while lowering bleeding risks.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 75 years+ - NCT06303609Recruiting
Radiofrequency treatment for pelvic pain during sex
This study tests whether a special type of radiofrequency (a gentle heat treatment) can help women who have pain during vaginal penetration. You will not receive any other treatment for your pain during the study.
Salvador, Estado de BahiaAges 18–45 - NCT07090122Recruiting
Spinal tumor treatment: ablation plus radiation vs radiation alone
This study compares two treatments for cancer that has spread to the spine. One group receives radiofrequency ablation (a heat-based treatment to destroy tumor cells) plus bone strengthening, followed by radiation. The other group receives radiation alone. The goal is to see which approach better controls pain and prevents spine problems.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07237373Recruiting
Heat ablation for benign thyroid nodules

BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT04730700Recruiting
Radiofrequency treatment test for facet back pain
This study compares a nerve procedure (radiofrequency “neurotomy” using an expandable electrode) to non-procedure medical care for long-lasting low back pain from facet joints. It aims to see whether the procedure helps more safely than conservative treatment.

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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for radiofrequency ablation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 114 recruiting radiofrequency 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 radiofrequency 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 radiofrequency 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.
