Heat probe zaps HPV: danish trial tests new ablation approach

NCT ID NCT07376031

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a heated probe applied to the cervix (thermal ablation) can help clear persistent HPV infection in women aged 40 and older. A total of 131 women with long-lasting HPV were randomly assigned to receive the treatment or no treatment, and their HPV status was checked at 3, 6, and 12 months. The goal was to see if ablation increases viral clearance and whether DNA methylation patterns predict outcomes.
