There are a number of studies currently recruiting women who suffer from uterine fibroids. Studies range in cost, but many are free of charge or offer treatment at a reduced rate. Eligibility criteria vary.
Several studies are being done using focused ultrasound. Please see the following links:
Multiple States in the U.S. Recruiting: California, Michigan, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia; Not Yet Recruiting: Florida
Additional focused ultrasound studies in San Francisco, CA and Toronto, Ontario
In addition, a comparative effectiveness clinical trial is ongoing to compare focused ultrasound with uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) in Durham, North Carolina and Rochester, Minnesota.
There are additional studies being done around the world focusing on other treatment options for uterine fibroids.
In Mexico, the UK, and the Netherlands, there is a Symptom Effectiveness Study of VizAblateTM Intrauterine Ultrasound-Guided RF Ablation.
Researchers in the Netherlands are evaluating the technical success, safety and procedure feasibility of hysteroscopic cryoablation treatment in women who do not desire further pregnancies.
In Taipai, Taiwan, researchers are holding a study on laparoscopic myomectomies.
In Ramat Gan and Hasaron, Israel, a study is being done to evaluate the effect of a daily dosage of vaginally administered mifepristone on reduction of uterine fibroid size and symptoms.
