Heat therapy aims to burn away cervical precancer
NCT ID NCT07059819
First seen Sep 02, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether applying local heat to the cervix can clear high-risk HPV and treat early cervical precancerous lesions (CIN I and II). Women aged 18-65 with persistent high-risk HPV will receive heat therapy at 44°C for 30 minutes on several days. The study measures whether the virus clears and lesions improve after three months, offering a potential non-surgical alternative.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Local hyperthermia device delivering heat at 44°C to the cervix
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this heat-based approach could offer a non-surgical option to clear HPV and treat early cervical precancerous changes, potentially reducing the risk of cervical cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial, and the treatment may not work for everyone. Heat therapy can cause discomfort or tissue damage, and results need to be confirmed in larger studies.
