Decision help tool for symptom-free fibroids treated with HIFU
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study is testing a decision-making tool to help doctors choose the best care for women with small fibroids that cause no symptoms. It also looks at factors that may affect outcomes when using HIFU, a non-surgical treatment that heats tissue with focused ultrasound.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 18 to 55 with fibroids found on ultrasound or MRI and you feel no symptoms
- Your largest single fibroid is smaller than 5 cm, and you have 10 or fewer fibroids total on MRI
- You can safely receive numbing/pain-relief medicines (sedation and pain control) for the procedure
- You do not have prior fibroid removal surgery (like myomectomy) by any approach
- You are not currently pregnant and do not have active reproductive tract infections or other conditions like endometriosis or ovarian tumors

This trial tests if the drug letrozole can improve symptoms like heavy bleeding and pelvic pain caused by uterine fibroids. You must be premenopausal with moderate to severe symptoms and not have very large fibroids or certain other conditions.
This trial compares two treatments for painful or heavy menstrual bleeding caused by uterine fibroids: high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and myomectomy (surgery to remove fibroids). It may help you decide which option fits your needs.
This study tests a new imaging tool (ultramicro-flow technique) to help doctors treat uterine fibroids or adenomyosis with focused ultrasound without surgery. The goal is to make the treatment safer and more accurate, especially for tumors deep inside the uterus.
This study tests if watching short videos helps people with uterine fibroids make better treatment decisions with their doctor. You are eligible if you have fibroids and are scheduled to discuss options at a Penn Medicine clinic.
This trial tests using ultrasound-guided microwave ablation to treat uterine fibroids. It may be an option if you have fewer than 5 fibroids, each smaller than 10 cm, and are in good general health.
This observational study looks at outcomes after people choose HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) to treat only a targeted area of the prostate. It may help doctors better understand how well HIFU works and what follow-up imaging or testing shows over time.
