Cervical stitch with progesterone for short cervix
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old and pregnant with one baby.
- A vaginal ultrasound has measured your cervix as 25 mm or shorter between 16 and 24 weeks of pregnancy.
- You do not have any current infections, bleeding, or signs of labor.
- You do not already have a cervical stitch in place.
- You are not allergic to progesterone.

This study tests whether placing a “cervix stitch” (cerclage) can reduce the risk of very early birth in twin pregnancies. It is for people whose cervix is shorter than expected or has started to open before 24 weeks.
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 tests whether a risk scoring system for preterm birth can help guide cervical length screening and reduce early deliveries. If you are a pregnant woman with one baby and no history of cervical cerclage, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether taking progesterone for longer during an IVF pregnancy can help lower the risk of preterm birth (birth too early). It is for people who are pregnant from a fresh embryo transfer of a single embryo.
This study looks at different care pathways to help lower the risk of preterm birth (birth too early). It will follow pregnant people with a singleton pregnancy to see which approaches may work best for preventing early delivery.
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.
