Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to test two innovative devices, the CryoPen® and thermocoagulator, against gas-based cryotherapy to determine whether the novel devices produce equivalent or improved destruction of cervical tissue compared to gas-based cryotherapy. Tissue destruction with single freeze versus double freeze treatments with the CryoPen and gas-based cryotherapy will also be compared.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Mean Depth of Necrosis Achieved With the LMIC-adapted CryoPen and the Thermocoagulator Compared to Mean Depth of Necrosis Achieved With CO2-based Cryotherapy
24-48 hours after treatment
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Mean Pain During Treatment Reported by Patients Treated With Double and Single Freeze CO2 Cryotherapy, Double and Single Freeze CryoPen and Thermoablation
40 seconds to 13 minutes

CO2 standard cryotherapy- double freeze
ACTIVE COMPARATORDouble freeze treatment consists of three-minute freeze, five-minute thaw, three-minute freeze
CO2 standard cryotherapy- single freeze
ACTIVE COMPARATORSingle freeze treatment consists of one five-minute freeze
CryoPen- double freeze
ACTIVE COMPARATORDouble freeze treatment consists of three-minute freeze, five-minute thaw, three-minute freeze
CryoPen- single freeze
ACTIVE COMPARATORSingle freeze treatment consists of one five-minute freeze
Thermocoagulator
EXPERIMENTALSingle heat application at 100 ºC for 40 seconds
Interventions
Provides a means of freezing tissue without the use of gases or liquids
Standard therapy using carbon dioxide for freezing of tissue
The use of heat produced by high-frequency electric current to bring about local destruction of tissues
