Surgery for Heavy Bleeding Due to Thick Uterine Muscle
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a minimally invasive surgical procedure to treat heavy menstrual bleeding caused by thickened uterine muscle tissue. The goal is to reduce bleeding and improve quality of life in women who haven't benefited from medication alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with enhanced myometrial vascularity (abnormally thick uterine muscle with extra blood vessels)
- You experience heavy menstrual bleeding or abnormal uterine bleeding that significantly affects your daily life and hasn't improved with medical treatment
- You are between 18 and 45 years old
- You are willing to have one of two surgical procedures: either laparoscopic clipping of blood vessels or IUD insertion
- You are in generally good health and able to safely receive anesthesia and minimally invasive surgery
- You do not have other causes of bleeding such as large fibroids, large polyps, or bleeding disorders

This trial compares two surgical techniques to reduce bleeding during surgery to remove fibroids (benign tumors) from the uterus. The goal is to find the safest, least-bloody approach for women who need this procedure.
This trial tests whether temporarily clamping the main blood vessels to the uterus during laparoscopic fibroid removal can reduce blood loss. It is for women with up to four fibroids who are planning this type of surgery.
This early-stage study tests medicines that may help control heavy uterine bleeding by changing how blood clots work in the uterus. If you have regular periods and meet the setup rules, you may be asked to provide menstrual tracking and undergo an endometrial (uterine lining) biopsy.
This trial tests different methods to minimize blood loss during laparoscopic surgery to remove uterine fibroids. It may help women with heavy bleeding or trouble getting pregnant.
This study compares two treatments for heavy bleeding caused by adenomyosis: a procedure that uses heat to remove the inner lining of the uterus (endometrial ablation) and a procedure that blocks blood flow to the uterus (uterine artery embolization). If you have been diagnosed with adenomyosis and have tried medication without success, this trial may help decide which treatment is best for you.
This study follows people with adenomyosis to see which treatments work best for pain and heavy bleeding. It may help doctors find better ways to manage symptoms.
