New study tests heat treatment for painful uterine condition
NCT ID NCT05130190
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how radiofrequency ablation (using heat) affects adenomyosis tissue in 15 women who were already scheduled for a hysterectomy. The goal was to see how well the treatment destroys the abnormal tissue by examining it under a microscope after surgery. The study did not aim to cure or treat symptoms, but to gather information on the procedure's effects.
