Comparing two biopsy methods for abnormal uterine bleeding
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 study compares two ways to prepare the cervix before a hysteroscopy (a camera test) in postmenopausal women. It aims to see which method makes the procedure easier and more comfortable.
This study compares two different devices used to collect tissue samples from the uterus (endometrial biopsy). Doctors use these samples to check for cancer or other problems when women have abnormal bleeding or other concerning symptoms. The trial will help determine which device works better and causes less discomfort.
This trial tests a new way to take a small sample of the womb lining (biopsy) using a thin, flexible tube guided by ultrasound. The goal is to see if ultrasound guidance makes the biopsy more accurate and comfortable in people with post-menopausal bleeding.
This trial tests two ways to take a small sample of the uterus lining (endometrium) when it is thin. The results may help women have a more comfortable and effective biopsy.
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.
This trial tests a new heat-based vapor treatment that removes the lining of the uterus to reduce or stop heavy menstrual bleeding. It may offer an option for women who have not found relief from hormonal treatments and want a non-hormonal approach.
