Cerclage with progesterone vs progesterone alone for twin pregnancy with short cervix
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are pregnant with twins
- Your cervix measures 30mm or shorter on an ultrasound (but you don't have any labor symptoms)
- You are between 16 weeks and 24 weeks pregnant at the time of screening

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.
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 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.
This study tests a device called a cerclage pessary to help prevent an early birth and to treat high-risk situations where the cervix may open too soon. It aims to check whether the pessary is safe and helps improve pregnancy outcomes for people at high risk.
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.
