Study on best timing for cervical length ultrasound during pregnancy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at the best time to measure the length of the cervix during a standard anatomy ultrasound. A shorter cervix can be a sign of early labor risk, so finding out the right moment to check may help improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant and between 16 weeks and 23 weeks plus 6 days.
- You are having your fetal anatomy ultrasound at a Henry Ford Health MFM ultrasound unit.
- You agree to have a vaginal ultrasound to check your cervix length as part of your routine care.
- You agree to be randomly assigned to have the cervix measurement at one of two different times during your visit.

This study uses a vaginal ultrasound to measure cervical length in people who previously had a spontaneous preterm birth. It aims to understand who may be at higher risk, so screening and next steps can be better planned in future pregnancies.
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 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 study compares two ways to check how ready your cervix is before starting labor on purpose. It looks at a physical exam score versus an ultrasound measurement to see which better predicts a smooth induction.
This study looks at whether staying active during pregnancy can help women with a short cervix (less than 25 mm) lower the risk of delivering early. If you have a short cervix but are otherwise healthy, the study will track your daily activities to see how they relate to your delivery timing.
This study uses ultrasound scans during labor to see if they can predict how your delivery will go. It may help doctors make better decisions and improve outcomes for you and your baby.
