Adenomyosis diagnosis study for women considering hysterectomy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how well different methods (clinical exams, imaging, and tissue analysis after surgery) can diagnose adenomyosis. It is for women who have heavy bleeding and pain, have completed their families, and have decided to have a hysterectomy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 35 and 55 years old.
- You have heavy menstrual bleeding and painful periods (dysmenorrhea).
- You have completed your family and do not want more children.
- You have tried other treatments that did not work, and hysterectomy is your next step.
- You have not used hormone treatment for adenomyosis in the last 3 months.
- You are able to have an MRI (no pacemaker, no claustrophobia, etc.).

This study tests whether ultrasound can more accurately diagnose adenomyosis, a condition where the inner lining of the uterus grows into the muscle wall. It may help you get a clearer diagnosis without more invasive tests.
This is an observational study, meaning researchers watch and describe symptoms and health information over time without testing a new treatment. It may help researchers better understand endometriosis and adenomyosis and how people experience them.
This study looks at what might make adenomyosis (a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows into the muscle wall of the uterus) get worse over time. By tracking volunteers over a period, researchers hope to find patterns or factors that predict progression, which could lead to better monitoring or management.
This trial tests a treatment for adenomyosis, a condition where the uterine lining grows into the muscle wall. It aims to help women with heavy bleeding, painful periods, or pelvic pain.
This study measures a protein called L-PGDS (lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthase) in blood, urine, and tissue samples to see if it can help diagnose adenomyosis (a condition that causes heavy periods and pelvic pain). Researchers are comparing levels in women with and without adenomyosis who are having a hysterectomy, as well as in women without symptoms.
This study uses advanced imaging and lab tests to better diagnose endometriosis and adenomyosis. Participants must be of European descent, have a clear ultrasound diagnosis, and be undergoing IVF (in vitro fertilization) — specifically a first or second cycle if they have both conditions, or a frozen embryo transfer if they have just one.
