Predicting preterm birth for threatened early labor
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to predict if you are likely to give birth early, using a simple test when you show signs of early labor. It aims to help doctors decide who really needs treatment and who can be reassured.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new kit (PremaSure) to see if it can accurately predict which pregnant women with early labor symptoms are at risk of delivering prematurely. It aims to help doctors make better decisions about monitoring and care.
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 tests an innovative device that measures risk of preterm birth in pregnant people who come to the emergency room early in pregnancy with signs that labor might start. It may help doctors identify who needs closer monitoring or treatment sooner.
This trial tests a short-term treatment to help stop early labor contractions and delay delivery for a short time. It may help give the baby more time to develop before birth.
This study tests a way to predict early labor risk using a scoring system and an ultrasound measurement of the cervix. If you are at higher risk, you may get extra monitoring and care to help reduce the chance of delivering too early.
This study uses information from a monitor that tracks your baby's heart rate during labor to see if we can better predict their well-being at birth. The goal is to improve care and ensure both you and your baby are safe.
