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 study compares a newer “vaginal NOTES” approach with the standard way of removing the uterus through the vagina. It may help find which method is safer or easier for people who need a hysterectomy for non-cancer (benign) reasons.
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 trial tests a new heat-based vapor treatment that removes the lining of the uterus to reduce or stop heavy menstrual bleeding. It may offer an option for women who have not found relief from hormonal treatments and want a non-hormonal approach.
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 study compares two treatments for heavy bleeding caused by enhanced myometrial vascularity (extra blood vessels in the womb muscle). One option is a keyhole surgery to clip blood vessels, and the other is inserting a Mirena coil (a hormonal IUD). Joining may help you find which treatment works best for your condition.
