RESEARCH QUESTIONS:
- What is the clinical-effectiveness of devices for endometrial ablation therapy used in the outpatient setting?
- What is the cost-effectiveness of devices for endometrial ablation therapy used in the outpatient setting?
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS:
There were no relevant health technology assessments, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, or controlled clinical trials identified. One relevant RCT7, three observational studies,9-11 and one economic evaluation were identified and included.12 Five additional observational studies on the Thermachoice system were identified that used earlier versions of the technology and were not included in this report.13-17 The economic evaluation also used an earlier version of the Thermachoice system, but was included as there were no other economic evaluations identified.12
