Safety and effectiveness of a cerclage pessary for high-risk early births
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a device called a cerclage pessary to help prevent an early birth and to treat high-risk situations where the cervix may open too soon. It aims to check whether the pessary is safe and helps improve pregnancy outcomes for people at high risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant and have had a prior spontaneous early birth before 34 weeks and/or a late miscarriage

This trial tests if placing a stitch in the cervix (cerclage) between 24 and 27 weeks of pregnancy can help prevent preterm birth in women whose cervix is short. It may be an option for those who find out late in pregnancy that they are at risk.
This trial tests whether adding a cervical stitch (cerclage) to progesterone treatment helps prevent early birth better than progesterone alone in women with a short cervix.
This trial compares two types of surgery (one done through small cuts in the belly, one done through the vagina) to place a stitch around the cervix and prevent preterm birth. It may be a good option if you and your doctor are unsure which approach is best for you.
This study compares two treatments for women expecting twins who have a short cervix (less than 30mm). It looks at whether adding a cervical stitch (cerclage) to progesterone hormone therapy works better than progesterone alone to help prevent early birth and improve newborn health.
This study tests whether a silicone cervical pessary can help reduce bleeding in pregnant women with placenta previa (a low-lying placenta near the cervix). You may qualify if you are between 20 and 30 weeks pregnant and have been diagnosed with this condition.
This study looks at how women who had an abdominal cerclage are doing in the long term. It aims to understand their health and well-being after this procedure to prevent early delivery.
