Is High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) effective for the treatment of Adenomyosis? A systematic review and meta-analysis

ConclusionThis review suggests a potential benefit for HIFU in the treatment of adenomyosis-related symptoms, however findings of the metanalysis were based on fewer, non-uniform studies, which did not equally account for each specific symptom/parameter across the board. Results showed there appears to be a potential of HIFU in the treatment of adenomyosis-related symptoms. To date, there are no comparative and randomized clinical trials comparing HIFU technique to other conservative treatment options. There is as yet insufficient data regarding fertility and pregnancy outcomes.
