Comparing two treatments for heavy bleeding due to extra uterine blood vessels
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for heavy bleeding caused by enhanced myometrial vascularity (extra blood vessels in the womb muscle). One option is a keyhole surgery to clip blood vessels, and the other is inserting a Mirena coil (a hormonal IUD). Joining may help you find which treatment works best for your condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with enhanced myometrial vascularity (extra blood vessels in the uterine muscle).
- You have heavy or abnormal bleeding that has not improved with medical treatment and is affecting your daily life.
- You are a woman between 18 and 45 years old.
- You are willing to undergo either laparoscopic surgery or Mirena IUD insertion.
- You do not have other causes of bleeding such as large fibroids, polyps, or bleeding disorders.

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 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 study compares two ways of stopping bleeding after a miscarriage. You would either get a gel to block the bleeding or get the gel plus a small suction procedure. The goal is to see if just using the gel works as well as the combined method, which could mean a simpler treatment.
This trial compares two medications (ergometrine and carbetocin) given during surgery to see which one is better at reducing bleeding while removing fibroids. Both drugs help the uterus contract to control blood loss.
This study compares two ways to take a small tissue sample from the lining of the womb to find out why you have abnormal bleeding. Both methods are quick, and the results can help guide your treatment.
This trial compares two keyhole (laparoscopic) surgeries for removing the uterus in women with non-cancerous conditions like fibroids or heavy bleeding. One method blocks the blood supply to the uterus first, which may reduce bleeding during surgery.
