Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the degree of symptomatic relief obtained after treatment with magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery in patients with adenomyosis. Quality of life and pain assessment questionnaires from 35 women, collected on the day of treatment and up to 6 months after treatment, indicated that the treatment was safe and there was a significant reduction in symptoms.
