Symptom improvement after Essure implant removal
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at women who are having symptoms from their Essure contraceptive implant and want it removed. It will measure how their symptoms improve after removal and may also include a special brain scan (MRI-PET) to check for changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 35 and 75 years old
- You have at least one Essure implant that is causing symptoms and you want it removed
- The surgery to remove the implant will be done through the vagina, keyhole surgery, robot, or a special scope (not open surgery)
- To qualify for an extra brain scan (MRI-PET), you must not have had a hysterectomy, and you need to stop any pain or psychiatric meds 2 days before the scan
- You cannot have metal implants in your body (like a hip or knee replacement, heart stent, or tubal clip)
- You are not pregnant, don't have cancer, and can understand the study information

This trial tests a new type of PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer to find endometriosis lesions. It may help surgeons see exactly where the disease is, which could lead to more complete treatment.
This study uses a combined PET/MRI scan to better see endometriosis in people who are already scheduled for laparoscopic surgery. It may help find spots of endometriosis that are hard to see with other tests.
This study uses a special MRI to look for nerve problems caused by pelvic endometriosis. It may help doctors better understand and treat nerve-related symptoms.
This trial studies whether special scans (PET/MRI) can help predict how well endometrial cancer patients will do. You may be asked to get these scans before surgery, and your results may help classify your cancer risk.
This study looks at an MRI-type scan (called MRE) to measure stiffness and “adhesion” around spinal cord tumor surgery. It may help doctors plan surgery better by predicting what the tumor area will feel like and how it may stick to nearby tissues.
This trial tests whether taking a medication (Rel-CT) after surgery helps improve outcomes for people with endometriosis. It may reduce the chance of symptoms returning after the tissue is removed.
