Microwave vs uterine artery embolization for adenomyosis symptoms
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to treat adenomyosis to see which works better for symptom relief. You may be offered either microwave treatment or uterine artery embolization (a procedure that reduces blood flow to the affected area).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 30 to 55
- You are not through menopause yet (premenopausal)
- Your adenomyosis was diagnosed using a vaginal ultrasound (TVUS)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 35 or lower
- You cannot take blood thinners or you do not have a bleeding problem
- You must be able to safely have either uterine artery embolization or general anesthesia

This trial tests a treatment for adenomyosis, a condition where the uterine lining grows into the muscle wall. It aims to help women with heavy bleeding, painful periods, or pelvic pain.
This trial tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture that uses a mild electric current) can reduce severe period pain caused by adenomyosis. If you have painful periods from adenomyosis and have not used hormonal treatments recently, this study may offer a non-drug treatment option.
This trial looks at whether frozen embryo transfer can help women with adenomyosis (a condition where the inner lining of the uterus grows into its muscle wall) who have trouble getting pregnant. It aims to understand if this method improves pregnancy chances.
This study tests whether ultrasound can more accurately diagnose adenomyosis, a condition where the inner lining of the uterus grows into the muscle wall. It may help you get a clearer diagnosis without more invasive tests.
This study looks at how well different methods (clinical exams, imaging, and tissue analysis after surgery) can diagnose adenomyosis. It is for women who have heavy bleeding and pain, have completed their families, and have decided to have a hysterectomy.
This study tests whether using a hormone medication (GnRH agonist) before a frozen embryo transfer helps women with adenomyosis. If you have adenomyosis and are planning a frozen embryo transfer, this trial will help compare results with or without the pre-treatment.
