Long-term effects of HIFU for rectal endometriosis
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study checks how well High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment works over time for people with rectal endometriosis. It's for those who already had HIFU in one of the earlier studies and want to help researchers understand long-term results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have already been treated with High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for rectal endometriosis as part of a specific earlier study (HIFU/F/13.12, HIFU/F/20.01, or HIFU/F/21.12).
- You agree to take part in this long-term follow-up study.
- You have internet access to complete questionnaires online.

This study tests whether using ultrasound during surgery helps doctors better assess and treat deep endometriosis (tissue that grows into the bowel wall). If you have endometriosis affecting your rectum or sigmoid colon and need surgery, this trial may help improve how your surgeon evaluates the extent of disease.
This study follows women with endometriosis over 2 years, using vaginal ultrasounds to track changes in endometriosis lesions and asking about quality of life. It aims to understand what factors cause the disease to get better or worse.
This study tests whether adding ultrasound therapy and TENS (a gentle electrical stimulation) to your usual hormonal treatment can help ease endometriosis symptoms like pelvic pain and painful periods. It's designed for women with endometriosis in the abdominal wall who have mild to moderate symptoms.
This study compares two types of ultrasound imaging—one done during surgery and one done before surgery through the vagina—to see which better detects endometriosis affecting the lower bowel. If you have suspected bowel endometriosis and need surgery, this trial may help doctors plan your care more accurately.
This trial tests an experimental drug called HMI-115 to see if it reduces pain from endometriosis. If you have moderate to severe period pain and non-period pain, and you have a surgical diagnosis, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a focused ultrasound treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. It aims to see if HIFU can safely relieve symptoms like weak urine flow and frequent urination.
