Microwave with or without chemical ablation for uterine fibroids
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for uterine fibroids: microwave ablation alone versus microwave ablation combined with chemical ablation. The goal is to see if adding chemical ablation improves symptom relief and safety.
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 symptoms.
- You are not near menopause or currently pregnant.
- You do not have adenomyosis or signs of cancer.
- You are not allergic to alcohol or sclerosant drugs.
- You have a safe route for the needle through your belly, as checked by your doctor.

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 trial tests if microwave ablation can safely treat painful or bothersome vascular malformations (abnormal blood vessel clusters). It helps people who have symptoms like pain, swelling, or ulcers that need treatment.
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 trial compares two ways to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer): microwave ablation and laparoscopic hepatectomy (keyhole liver surgery). It may help find which option works better for tumor control and recovery in people with limited, non-spread cancer.
This trial tests using ultrasound-guided microwave ablation to treat uterine fibroids. It may be an option if you have fewer than 5 fibroids, each smaller than 10 cm, and are in good general health.
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).
