Pelvic organ prolapse laser trial pulled before enrolling anyone
NCT ID NCT03995797
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study planned to test whether a special laser could help women with mild to moderate pelvic organ prolapse who had not gotten relief from other treatments. It was designed as a sham-controlled trial, meaning some women would get the real laser and others a fake procedure, to see if the laser actually worked. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
