Preterm rupture of membranes study at the Medical University of Graz
Treatments studied
This study looks at what happens when a pregnant person's water breaks early (before 37 weeks) and doctors choose to wait and watch rather than deliver right away. Researchers want to learn more about this approach to help improve care for both mother and baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

This trial tests a personalized treatment plan for people whose water breaks too early (before 34 weeks). The goal is to safely extend the pregnancy and improve health outcomes for both the parent and baby, while reducing the use of antibiotics.
This study tests whether emotional freedom technique (a tapping-based stress-relief method) and music therapy can help reduce anxiety in pregnant women diagnosed with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM)—a condition where the amniotic sac breaks early. The goal is to see if these therapies improve emotional well-being during a stressful pregnancy situation.
This registry is collecting information from pregnant people diagnosed with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) before 37 weeks. It may help researchers better understand PPROM and improve care for future patients.
This study looks at how long women can safely wait before labor starts after their water breaks early (between 28 and 34 weeks). It may help guide care for others in the same situation.
This trial compares different antibiotics given to pregnant people whose waters break early (before 37 weeks) to prevent infection and improve outcomes. It aims to find the most effective antibiotic to protect both the parent and the baby.
This trial compares inducing labor soon after your water breaks to waiting and seeing if labor starts on its own. It aims to find the safest approach for you and your baby.
