Short-term treatment to delay preterm labor
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a short-term treatment to help stop early labor contractions and delay delivery for a short time. It may help give the baby more time to develop before birth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You are pregnant with one baby (not twins or more).
- Your pregnancy is between 24 and 34 weeks.
- You are in early preterm labor with regular contractions and your cervix has started to open, but your water has not broken.
- You do not have any infections, heavy bleeding, or medical conditions that would make delaying labor unsafe.

This study tests if taking a combination of magnesium, a natural supplement (palmitoylethanolamide), hyaluronic acid, and vitamins B6 and D can help prevent preterm birth in women with a shorter-than-ideal cervix.
This study tests whether a low dose of a steroid medicine given to pregnant people late in pregnancy can help a baby’s lungs if delivery happens early. If you’re due for late-preterm delivery soon, the trial may help reduce breathing problems in the newborn.
This trial tests an innovative device that measures risk of preterm birth in pregnant people who come to the emergency room early in pregnancy with signs that labor might start. It may help doctors identify who needs closer monitoring or treatment sooner.
This study tests whether taking a low dose of aspirin daily during pregnancy can help prevent another preterm birth (when the baby comes too early). Aspirin is a common medicine that may reduce inflammation and improve blood flow. If you've had a preterm birth before, this trial could help you carry your baby longer.
This study tests a new device that measures how stiff the cervix is in women who may be going into labor early. The goal is to see if this measurement can help tell which women are truly at risk for preterm birth.
This study tests a new way to predict if you are likely to give birth early, using a simple test when you show signs of early labor. It aims to help doctors decide who really needs treatment and who can be reassured.
