Endometrial ablation for heavy periods when medicines don’t work
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at an outpatient procedure that removes part of the uterine lining to reduce very heavy menstrual bleeding. It may help you if birth control or medicines haven’t worked (or you can’t take them) and your uterus tests come back normal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 35 and 50 years old
- Have very heavy periods, measured by PBAC 150 or higher
- Have tried period medicines without success, cannot take them, or don’t want them
- Have finished having children and do not plan future pregnancy
- Your uterus cavity must look normal on a camera exam (hysteroscopy) and the lining test (pipelle biopsy) must be normal

This early-stage study tests medicines that may help control heavy uterine bleeding by changing how blood clots work in the uterus. If you have regular periods and meet the setup rules, you may be asked to provide menstrual tracking and undergo an endometrial (uterine lining) biopsy.
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.
This study tests a minimally invasive surgical procedure to treat heavy menstrual bleeding caused by thickened uterine muscle tissue. The goal is to reduce bleeding and improve quality of life in women who haven't benefited from medication alone.
This trial tests an investigational medication called BT-114143 for people with heavy menstrual bleeding (abnormal uterine bleeding). The goal is to see if it is safe and effective in reducing blood loss during periods.
This study compares two different ablation techniques used during surgery to remove endometriosis lesions. It aims to see which method works better for relieving pelvic pain symptoms.
This trial tests if a non-invasive treatment using electrical pulses can help the lining of the uterus recover faster after a surgical abortion. The goal is to improve future fertility and uterine health.
