Summary

This study tested whether a heated probe applied to the cervix (thermal ablation) can help clear a persistent HPV infection in women aged 40 and older. 131 women with long-lasting HPV but no severe cell changes were randomly assigned to receive the treatment or no treatment. Researchers tracked HPV test results at 3, 6, and 12 months to see if the heat treatment helped the body clear the virus faster.
