Local heat therapy for persistent high-risk HPV infection
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether local heat therapy can help clear a high-risk HPV infection that has lasted at least 3 months. It is for women who have no serious cervical cell changes or only mild changes (CIN) and who are generally healthy.

This study tests whether heat therapy (hyperthermia) can help treat viral warts in people who are pregnant, have HIV/AIDS, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, take immune-suppressing drugs, or are children. It aims to find a safe and effective option for these groups.
This trial tests whether applying heat combined with a common disinfectant (hydrogen peroxide) can safely and effectively remove viral skin warts. It may be an option if you have common, plantar, or genital warts and are between 16 and 65 years old.
This study compares using one versus two probes during a heat treatment (thermal ablation) for early cervical changes in women living with HIV. The goal is to see which approach is more feasible and effective, hopefully preventing cervical cancer.
This study compares two treatments—photodynamic therapy using a special light-activated cream and a CO2 laser—to see which works better for clearing low-grade cervical changes caused by a long-lasting high-risk HPV infection. The goal is to find a safe, effective option for women who have had this condition for over a year.
This trial tests a new way to quickly diagnose and treat cervical pre-cancer using a point-of-care device. It may help women who are HPV-positive avoid a separate treatment visit.
This study tests whether using one or two heat probes is better at removing precancerous cells from the cervix in women living with HIV. It aims to find a simpler, more effective way to prevent cervical cancer.
