Understanding how the uterus changes during your cycle
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This research study uses MRI scans to learn how the uterus (womb) naturally changes during your menstrual cycle. Understanding these changes better may help doctors improve fertility treatments and diagnose problems earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This study at the University of Oxford is looking at whether painful periods in teenagers can lead to long-term pain. You will be asked about your period pain and may have an MRI scan of your brain (safe, no radiation). The goal is to find ways to prevent chronic pain later in life.
This study looks at how natural menstrual cycles and ovarian stimulation (which mimics some fertility treatments) affect brain activity and hormone levels. Researchers want to understand normal brain changes during the cycle to help improve fertility treatments.
This early-stage study tests medicines that may help control heavy uterine bleeding by changing how blood clots work in the uterus. If you have regular periods and meet the setup rules, you may be asked to provide menstrual tracking and undergo an endometrial (uterine lining) biopsy.
This study looks at the natural menstrual cycle symptoms and overall health in women who are not using hormonal birth control. It aims to understand how cycle-related symptoms affect daily life.
This study is looking at women who have unusual bleeding or bleeding after menopause to find better ways to diagnose reproductive cancers like endometrial cancer. If you are 45 or older and still have your uterus, you may be able to help.
This study looks at how the mucus in your cervix changes during your menstrual cycle. You will take a medication for a short time to see how it affects the mucus, which may help understand fertility and contraception.
