Active clinical trials for "Leiomyoma"

Aim and objectives; To compare the efficacy of preoperative administration of dinoprostone 20 mg versus 400 ug misoprostol vaginally in decreasing the amount of bleeding during abdominal myomectomy

Magnetic resonance (MR)-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation is increasingly being used worldwide to treat symptomatic uterine fibroids because of its excellent therapeutic efficacy in controlling symptoms and its excellent safety record. Despite the benefits, it should be recognized that MR HIFU ablation does not always yield good therapeutic outcomes. High signal intensity on T2-weighted MR images and a high volume transfer constant (or Ktrans) on dynamic contrast material-enhanced MR images are the most well-known risk factors for poor ablation outcomes as measured with the non-perfused volume (NPV) ratio (ie, NPV divided by fibroid volume). The aim of this study is to assess the influence of fibroid perfusion (evaluated by MRI and contrast enhanced ultrasound), apparent diffusion coefficient (evaluated by MR-diffusion imaging) and fibroid stiffness (evaluated by ARFI) on ablation efficiency during uterine fibroid treatment by MR-HIFU.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety & efficacy of cryoablation using IceCure medical's IceSense3™ device for the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids in a percutaneous lap-assisted approach.

Adhesions are the most frequent complication of abdominopelvic surgery. They are internal scar tissues which form as a result of surgery which may abnormally join together what were once separate tissues and organs. This study will assess the safety and usability of anti-adhesion agent (gel) when used after laparoscopic surgery. The study will enroll 30 patients, (randomised 2:1) with safety primary endpoint (adverse events in ADBLOCK and surgery only group) assessed at 28 days

To evaluate the variation of AMH levels in women undergoing treatment with GnRHa, and to assess whether this variation correlates with changes in the antral and pre-antral follicle ultrasonographic count (AFC).

The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ExAblate for the treatment of uterine fibroids. Women, seeking treatment for symptomatic uterine leiomyomata will be eligible for the study.Women who agree to participate will sign an informed consent and will be randomized to ExAblate treatment or myomectomy. All patients will be followed through the 36 month visit. Follow-up visits/telephone calls will be completed at 1 week, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months post treatment. Patients will be evaluated by assessing their overall physical and mental health as well as for device/procedure related adverse events.

Fibroids are benign tumors that might results in bleeding. Surgery is their definitive treatment. Some medical therapies have been tried for women who wish to preserve their uterus. Recent reports have demonstrated a role for a new category of drugs called aromatase inhibitor (such as Femara) in the treatment of fibroids. This study is conducted to assess the effect of Femara (letrozole) on the size of fibroids in women around menopause.

The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that a minimum 75% volume radiofrequency ablation of fibroids associated with menorrhagia results in reduction of menstrual bleeding.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether ulipristal acetate is effective in the treatment of females with anemia associated with uterine leiomyomas. The safety of this product will also be evaluated.

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of dexamethasone on inflammatory reactions after uterine artery embolization. The secondary purpose of this study it to investigate the effects of dexamethasone on postembolization syndrome (severe pain, nasea and vomiting).
