Preventing preterm birth with targeted cervical screening
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with one baby (not twins or more).
- You are registered at a community health center in the selected districts taking part in the study.
- You have never had a cervical cerclage (a stitch to support the cervix).
- You are willing to sign a consent form and take part in the study.

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 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 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 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 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 study tests if personalized stress-reduction care during pregnancy can lower the risk of preterm birth, especially for those at higher risk. It is for people with a singleton pregnancy between 8 and nearly 20 weeks who receive care at UNC Chapel Hill.
