Ultrasound check to spot early growth problems in twin pregnancies
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound method (speckle tracking echocardiography) to look for early signs that a twin pregnancy may have impaired fetal growth. It may help clinicians detect problems earlier and better understand how twin babies’ hearts and growth are affected.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with either a single baby or twins (dichorionic twins)
- You are between 19 and 23 weeks pregnant at the first study visit
- You are age 18 or older
- Your pregnancy is not a higher-order multiple pregnancy (no triplets or more)
- Your twins are not monochorionic (they should be dichorionic)
- You do not have certain conditions (such as fetal rhythm problems, major baby birth defects, maternal high blood pressure, autoimmune disease, past stillbirth, or diabetes)

This study monitors the baby's heart in the womb during late pregnancy to make sure it is developing well. It may help find any concerns early.
This trial looks at how a structured ultrasound schedule may help track fetal (baby) growth during routine prenatal care. It may benefit patients by improving how pregnancy growth checks are planned and recorded.
This study uses ultrasound to look at blood flow patterns in the heart and major blood vessels of babies who are smaller than expected (fetal growth restriction). It will compare these patterns to those in normally growing babies to see how they change as other growth measurements change.
This trial studies whether a specific ultrasound approach can better detect problems with fetal (baby) growth in the later part of pregnancy. It may help identify concerns earlier so your care team can plan the next steps.
This trial uses an MRI scan to look at placental health in pregnancies where the baby (or one twin) is not growing as expected. The goal is to better understand placental problems and how they may affect baby growth.
This study uses ultrasound to check how well your baby is growing during pregnancy. It helps doctors understand normal growth patterns so they can better care for you and your baby.
