Can a water barrier make microwave ablation safer for the womb?

NCT ID NCT06751264

First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial compares two microwave ablation techniques for treating uterine adenomyosis, a condition where uterine tissue grows into the muscle wall, causing pain and heavy bleeding. One group receives the standard approach with saline injected around the uterus, while the other adds an extra step of injecting ice-cold saline into the uterine cavity to protect the lining. The study aims to see if this added step reduces the risk of endometrial injury and improves symptom relief.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
microwave ablation with improved ultrasound guidance and water isolation
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could make microwave ablation safer and more effective for treating adenomyosis, potentially preserving the uterine lining and reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial, and the added procedure may not significantly improve outcomes or could carry its own risks, such as injury to the endometrium or other complications.
