Radiofrequency ablation for severe stomach atrophy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a treatment called radiofrequency ablation (using heat energy to remove abnormal tissue) can help people with severe stomach lining thinning and early pre-cancer changes. It is an observational study, meaning the researchers will watch what happens to you while you get the treatment, to see if it is safe and works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- Your last endoscopy (camera test of the stomach) was within the past 3 months.
- You have moderate to severe stomach lining thinning (atrophy) with or without early pre-cancer changes (low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia).
- Your biopsy report shows a certain level of risk (OLGA or OLGIM stage of moderate or severe).
- You do not have H. pylori bacteria (you have tested negative).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have no history of digestive tract cancer or stomach/intestine surgery.

This trial studies whether a condition called atrophic gastritis (thinning of the stomach lining) can help predict who is more likely to develop stomach cancer. It may help with early detection and prevention.
This trial tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with a mild electric current) can help improve chronic atrophic gastritis, a condition where the stomach lining thins. It may help reduce symptoms and slow down the condition's progress.
This trial studies a new stomach procedure called fundus ablation to help with weight loss. The doctor uses a device to treat the upper part of your stomach, and you'll follow a special diet long-term.
This study looks at how different stages of chronic atrophic gastritis relate to digestive symptoms, and how acupuncture might help. It aims to find better ways to treat this condition and improve symptoms.
This study compares two ways to remove tiny, non-cancerous stomach growths—using a gentle heat tool (argon plasma coagulation) or a special scope to cut them out. The goal is to see which method is safer and works better.
This trial tests a new endoscopic procedure called anti-reflux mucosal ablation therapy to reduce acid reflux in people who still have symptoms despite taking acid-reducing medication. The goal is to see if this treatment helps improve heartburn and related symptoms.
