NCT ID NCT05856838
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a procedure called NovaSure radiofrequency ablation can be done safely and comfortably in an outpatient setting for women with heavy menstrual bleeding. The procedure destroys the lining of the uterus to reduce bleeding. Researchers will measure patient satisfaction and pain levels in 30 women aged 35-50 who have not responded to other treatments.
