Activity and preterm birth with short cervix
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 24 weeks and 34 weeks and 6 days pregnant with one baby.

- You do not have any reason your doctor has told you not to be physically active, like pelvic pain or fall risk.

This study tests a personalized care program to help reduce stress during pregnancy and prevent early birth. It is for pregnant women at higher risk of preterm birth and aims to improve health for both mother and baby.
This study tests if bed rest can help prevent early birth in pregnant women who have a short cervix (the lower part of the womb). If you have a short cervix, this might help you carry your baby longer.
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 tests if taking a combination of magnesium, a natural supplement (palmitoylethanolamide), hyaluronic acid, and vitamins B6 and D can help prevent preterm birth in women with a shorter-than-ideal cervix.
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 compares two treatments for women expecting twins who have a short cervix (less than 30mm). It looks at whether adding a cervical stitch (cerclage) to progesterone hormone therapy works better than progesterone alone to help prevent early birth and improve newborn health.
