Manual placenta removal after birth study
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how removing the placenta by hand after a normal vaginal birth may affect the mother. It may help doctors better manage this common procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a full-term, normal vaginal birth without forceps or vacuum.
- You had only one baby during the pregnancy.
- You received an epidural for pain relief during delivery.
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.

This study looks at how the placenta is working in pregnancies that are planned for cesarean delivery after at least 37 weeks. Researchers compare different pregnancy situations (including some common complications) and check placenta function to better understand placental health.
This study tests a safe method using a tourniquet (a gentle band) during planned C-section to help manage placenta accreta, a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus. The goal is to improve outcomes for both mother and baby.
This trial tests if draining blood from the umbilical cord after birth can reduce bleeding during the third stage of labor. It might help make delivery safer and lower the risk of hemorrhage.
This trial tests if draining blood from the umbilical cord after delivery can help prevent postpartum hemorrhage (heavy bleeding) in women having a vaginal birth. It may offer a simple way to reduce risk.
This study looks at placental tissue to better understand pregnancy conditions like preeclampsia and recurrent miscarriage. It may help improve future care for these conditions.
This study compares two surgical techniques to manage placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the womb. The goal is to find a safer way to control bleeding during delivery and possibly avoid removing the womb (hysterectomy).
