Ultrasound-guided microwave ablation for uterine fibroids
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment called microwave ablation that uses heat to shrink uterine fibroids. The goal is to reduce symptoms like heavy bleeding and pain without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 25 or older
- You have not gone through menopause (you still get periods)
- You have fewer than 5 fibroids
- Your largest fibroid is smaller than 10 cm (about the size of a grapefruit)
- You are not taking blood thinners and do not have a bleeding disorder
- You are healthy enough to have anesthesia or sedation

This study tests a minimally invasive treatment that uses heat from microwave energy to shrink and remove a non-cancerous breast lump (fibroadenoma) without surgery. It may offer a safer option with better cosmetic results for women who are bothered by their lump.
This study compares two minimally invasive treatments for uterine fibroids: using microwave energy alone versus combining it with a chemical injection. The goal is to see which approach better reduces symptoms like heavy bleeding or pain, without surgery.
This trial tests a new, needle-based treatment using microwave energy to shrink or destroy breast fibroadenomas, which are non-cancerous lumps. It offers a minimally invasive alternative to surgery, with ultrasound guidance to target the lump precisely.
This study compares two ways to treat adenomyosis to see which works better for symptom relief. You may be offered either microwave treatment or uterine artery embolization (a procedure that reduces blood flow to the affected area).
This study is testing a decision-making tool to help doctors choose the best care for women with small fibroids that cause no symptoms. It also looks at factors that may affect outcomes when using HIFU, a non-surgical treatment that heats tissue with focused ultrasound.
This study tests a new imaging tool (ultramicro-flow technique) to help doctors treat uterine fibroids or adenomyosis with focused ultrasound without surgery. The goal is to make the treatment safer and more accurate, especially for tumors deep inside the uterus.
