Measuring the Cervix in Placenta Accreta
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study follows pregnant women who may have placenta accreta—a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus. Researchers will measure the length of the cervix and how deeply the placenta is attached using ultrasound to help guide care during pregnancy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant, between 18 and 45 years old, and your doctor thinks you may have placenta accreta (a condition where the placenta attaches too deeply).
- You are between 18 and 32 weeks pregnant so the study team can monitor you over time.
- You are carrying only one baby.
- You have at least one of these risk factors: you have had multiple C-sections, you have had bleeding during this pregnancy, or your placenta is in an unusual position on ultrasound.
- You do not have a weak cervix (cervical incompetence) or a cervical stitch (cerclage) already in place.
- Your prenatal records are complete and available from the clinic where you have been receiving care.

This trial looks at how to diagnose and what happens to pregnant women with a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus (placental accreta). It may help doctors better understand the condition and improve care.
This study looks at placenta accreta spectrum (a serious placenta problem) using ultrasound or MRI images. It may help by classifying the condition in a more detailed way so surgeons can plan the right operation during surgery.
This trial is studying a new approach to prevent and treat a pregnancy complication called placenta accreta spectrum (where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus). It aims to help pregnant women diagnosed with this condition improve their outcomes.
This study tests a planned surgical approach for placenta accreta (when the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall) in women who have had a previous c-section. If you are at least 28 weeks pregnant and have been diagnosed with this condition, the trial aims to see if a conservative surgery can help safely manage it.
This trial compares two surgical methods for managing placenta accreta spectrum (a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall). It tests whether a less invasive approach (tamponade) works as well as removing part of the uterus (partial myometrial resection) in women having a cesarean section.
This trial tests a new classification system for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall. It aims to see if this system helps predict outcomes and improve care for pregnant people who need surgery for PAS.
