Microwave with chemical ablation for uterine fibroids
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have uterine fibroids confirmed by MRI or ultrasound.
- You have symptoms like heavy bleeding, anemia, pelvic pain, or pressure.
- You are not near menopause.
- You have a safe spot on your belly for the doctor to insert the treatment needle.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are not allergic to alcohol or the chemical used.

This trial compares two treatments for painful or heavy menstrual bleeding caused by uterine fibroids: high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and myomectomy (surgery to remove fibroids). It may help you decide which option fits your needs.
This study tests a treatment that uses microwave energy to shrink painful or troublesome abnormal blood vessels (vascular malformations). It may help reduce symptoms like pain and swelling without open surgery.
This study looks at whether microwave ablation, a minimally invasive treatment, works as well as surgery for small, low-risk thyroid cancers. It uses special ultrasound and genetic tests to help decide the best treatment.
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.
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 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.
