New IUD combo aims to stop displacement in adenomyosis
NCT ID NCT07680985
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether combining a hormone-releasing IUD with an anchoring IUD can prevent the device from slipping out of place in women with adenomyosis, a condition that causes pelvic pain and heavy bleeding. The study includes 270 women with different uterine cavity depths, comparing the combined device to standard IUDs or hormone therapy alone. Participants are followed for 6 months to check device stability and symptom improvement.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) combined with Indomethacin-GyneFix IUD
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could reduce IUD expulsion rates, making hormone therapy more reliable for managing adenomyosis symptoms like pain and heavy bleeding.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center study with a 6-month follow-up, so long-term benefits and risks are unknown. The device combination may still fail or cause complications.
