Dexamethasone and pregnancy: effects on mothers
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how dexamethasone, a steroid given during pregnancy, affects mothers who have a genetic condition that can cause the baby to have a hormone imbalance. The goal is to better understand the medicine's effects on the mother.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how giving a steroid medicine (dexamethasone) after very early birth affects the baby’s heart function. It may help doctors better understand risks and benefits for babies who need treatment for serious lung problems.
This study tests whether giving a steroid medication (dexamethasone) before spinal anesthesia can reduce uncomfortable side effects like nausea, vomiting, and low blood pressure during planned cesarean delivery. The goal is to help you feel better during and after your surgery.
This trial tests if giving dexamethasone helps start labor in first-time mothers who are at full term (39 weeks or more) and have no complications. It aims to make the induction process more effective.
This study looks at how corticosteroids (medicines given to help a baby's lungs mature) move through the mother's body and affect the baby during pregnancy. It aims to find the best dose and timing for mothers at risk of preterm birth.
This study tests whether a steroid medicine called dexamethasone can help prevent a serious lung problem in very premature babies who need a breathing machine for a long time. It may help babies who are still on the machine after two weeks and need high levels of oxygen.
