Independent study reports pain scores declined from a median of 8 on a scale of 0-10 to a median of 0 for patients who had ProSense® cryoablation procedures
ProSense® is FDA cleared and approved in the European Union for gynecological indications
CAESAREA, Israel, Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- IceCure Medical Ltd. (NASDAQ: ICCM) ("IceCure", "IceCure Medical" or the "Company"), developer of minimally-invasive cryoablation technology that destroys tumors by freezing as an alternative to surgical tumor removal, today announced encouraging findings from a recently published, independently conducted study evaluating the efficacy and safety of personalized percutaneous single-probe liquid-nitrogen cryoablation with ProSense® in treating symptomatic abdominal wall endometriosis ("AWE").
AWE is a debilitating condition, often occurring in surgical scars after caesarean sections. It is characterized by cyclic pain and a palpable mass, significantly impacting the quality of life of the individual. Traditional treatments, including hormonal therapy and surgery, have their limitations, which has prompted interest in minimally invasive techniques such as cryoablation.
The peer-reviewed study, published in Journal of Personalized Medicine, titled "Efficacy and Safety of Percutaneous Single-Probe Cryoablation Using Liquid Nitrogen in the Treatment of Abdominal Wall Endometriosis," was conducted at Nîmes University Hospital in Nîmes, France. The study enrolled 14 patients with a total of 23 AWE lesions, who were treated between September 2022 and April 2025.
"We are very pleased to share the results of this independent study which concluded that percutaneous cryoablation with ProSense® is a safe and effective minimally invasive cryosurgical tool for abdominal wall endometriosis, offering significant pain relief and excellent cosmetic outcomes," stated IceCure's Chief Executive Officer, Eyal Shamir. The researchers went on to state it should be considered as part of multidisciplinary care for women with AWE. Evidence of ProSense®'s efficacy in multiple gynecological indications further supports its commercial potential and momentum.
Key Study Highlights include the following:
- Substantial Pain Relief: Median pain scores declined from 8/10 (range: 6–10) pre-treatment to 0/10 (range: 0–2) at 3-month follow-up (p < 0.0001)
- High Procedural Efficacy: MRI confirmed complete coverage of the ablation zone and disappearance of hemorrhagic inclusions in all cases
- Streamlined Procedure: Median ablation and overall procedural times were 15 minutes and 93 minutes, respectively
- Safe and Excellent Cosmetic Outcomes: No peri- or post-procedural complications were reported; no visible scars were observed
- Low Retreatment Rate: Only two patients (14%) required a second treatment using the same modality, both achieving satisfactory outcomes
According to the World Health Organization, endometriosis affects about 10% of women who are at reproductive age globally, or 190 million people. Endometriosis is a chronic disease associated with severe, life-impacting symptoms. AWE has a reported incidence rate of 0.03% - 3.5% of women.
