Trial Identification

Brief Title: High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation Virus Myomectomy to Treat Uterine Fibroids

Official Title: Safety and Efficacy of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation Compared With Myomectomy in Uterine Fibroids:A Randomized Controlled Study

Study ID: NCT01239641

Conditions

Uterine Fibroid

Interventions

High intensity focused ultrasound

Study Description

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether HIFU has superiority over traditional surgery on satisfaction and adverse impact.

Detailed Description: Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are common in reproductive aged women. Patients are seeking new ways to treat symptomatic uterine fibroids that allow them to avoid surgery. High intensity focused ultrasound therapy (HIFU) is a novel non-invasive method for uterine fibroid. Preliminary clinical studies proved HIFU ablation is a safe and effective technology. However, it is not clear whether HIFU has superiority over traditional surgery on satisfaction and adverse impact.The study is to confirm these questions.
