Pessary ring for preventing early birth in high-risk pregnancy
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether wearing a silicone ring (pessary) around the cervix can help prevent early birth in women who have had a previous premature baby or late miscarriage. It aims to see if the device is safe and effective for reducing the risk of preterm labor.

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 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 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 tests a new medical device to see if it can help predict preterm birth in pregnant women who are having early contractions. It may help doctors decide which patients need treatment to prevent early delivery.
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.
