Checking IUD position with 3D ultrasound after childbirth
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses a special 3D ultrasound through the vagina to check if the IUD is in the right place 6 weeks after it was inserted following childbirth. This may help ensure your birth control is working correctly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a woman between 18 and 45 years old.

This study tests whether a new inserter tool is safe and works well for placing a copper IUD called GYNEFIX. You may help researchers learn if the placement is easier and the device stays properly in place over 3 years.
This study tests if using ultrasound during IUD (intrauterine system) insertion reduces pain compared to the standard method. If you are getting a Kyleena or Mirena IUD, your experience may help improve comfort for other women.
This study looks at whether listening to music before getting a copper IUD placed can reduce pain in women who have never given birth. If you're eligible, you'll be randomly assigned to either listen to music or not during the insertion procedure, and we'll measure your pain and satisfaction.
This study tests if a gentle vibrating device placed on the belly can reduce pain during the insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD), a type of birth control. If you are scheduled for an IUD placement, this might help make the procedure more comfortable.
This study checks whether placing a 52 mg hormonal IUD soon after sex (up to 5 days) or on the same day (under certain timing) is safe and works as birth control. You may be able to join if you need emergency contraception or want to start an IUD right away and meet clinic and pregnancy-safety checks.
This study compares two types of intrauterine devices (IUDs) – one that uses copper and one that uses a hormone called levonorgestrel – to see how they affect the natural bacteria and protective barrier in the vagina. It aims to find out if one type is better at helping young women stay healthy and prevent infections, including HIV.
