Placenta disorder

This study tests whether a silicone cervical pessary can reduce vaginal bleeding and help women with placenta previa carry their pregnancy longer. About 190 pregnant women with this condition will either receive the pessary or standard care. The goal is to see if this simple devi…

This trial investigates whether giving a thyroid hormone (levothyroxine) to very small preterm infants with mildly low thyroid function can improve their physical growth and brain development by age two. The study includes infants born weighing under 1500 grams who are small for …

This study tests whether infusing fluid into the uterus during labor (amnioinfusion) can reduce brain injury in newborns whose mothers have a uterine infection called chorioamnionitis. The infection can cause inflammation and fever that may stress the baby's brain before birth. R…

This study looks at whether giving two antibiotics (ampicillin and gentamicin) instead of one (ampicillin alone) can better prevent infections in pregnant women whose water breaks before labor starts. About 320 women at term will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments.…

The ROOT study is testing a personalized nutrition program for pregnant women. Participants receive standard prenatal care plus customized diet and lifestyle plans based on their genes and nutrient levels. The goal is to see if this approach can lower the chances of preterm birth…

This study tests whether a special high-energy formula called InfaCore can help undernourished infants (1-12 months old) gain weight and tolerate feeding better. About 35 babies who are not growing well or are at risk will receive the formula. The main goal is to see if their wei…

This study looks at whether adding a special stitch (Hayman suture) to a standard surgery (Kasr Al-Ainy technique) can reduce blood loss during delivery for women with placenta accreta, a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus. About 48 women aged 18-40 wit…

This trial tests whether enoxaparin, a blood thinner, can improve outcomes for babies with poor growth and low amniotic fluid. 108 pregnant women will receive either enoxaparin plus standard care or standard care alone until delivery. The study will measure live birth rates, low …

This study compares two drugs—tranexamic acid and vasopressin—to see which works better at reducing blood loss during planned C-sections in women with placenta previa, a condition where the placenta covers the cervix. 58 women will be randomly assigned to receive one of the drugs…

This study tests whether portable AI-driven ultrasound devices can help frontline health workers in rural Ethiopia detect pregnancy complications early. About 1,059 pregnant women will be split into three groups: two using different AI ultrasound tools and one receiving standard …

This study will test whether detailed 2D and 3D ultrasound scans can accurately tell the difference between two serious pregnancy complications: placenta accreta spectrum and uterine scar dehiscence. Researchers will scan 50 women in their third trimester who have a low-lying pla…

This study will check if a specific ultrasound finding called the 'rail sign' can accurately detect placenta accreta, a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the womb. Researchers will scan 90 pregnant women with placenta previa (low-lying placenta) during their seco…

This study tests whether a simple, low-cost oral health program for pregnant women in rural Nepal can reduce the number of babies born too early, too small, or underweight. About 2,280 women will either receive daily antiseptic mouthwash and intensive oral hygiene education, or j…

This study looks at blood flow in a part of the fetal heart called the aortic isthmus in pregnancies where the baby is not growing well (fetal growth restriction). Researchers will compare Doppler measurements between affected fetuses and healthy ones to see if these patterns can…

This study will follow 5,500 first-time pregnant women to see if blood tests and eye scans can predict complications like preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, and gestational diabetes. Researchers will collect samples and images at different points during pregnancy and compare…

This study tests a new way to estimate a baby's weight before birth using ultrasound. Instead of only measuring bones, it also measures soft tissue thickness in the belly and thigh. Researchers hope this will give more accurate weight predictions, especially for very large or ver…

This study tests whether real-time AI feedback helps healthcare professionals measure fetal size more accurately during ultrasound. 75 participants (novices, intermediates, and experts) will be randomly assigned to use AI assistance or standard methods. The main goal is to see if…

This observational study will follow 200 pregnant women with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) at Sohag University Hospital in Egypt. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure how deeply the placenta invades the cervix and the length of the cervix. The goal is to understand how co…

Placenta accreta is a serious pregnancy problem where the placenta grows too deeply into the womb, raising risks of heavy bleeding and other complications during C-section. This study looks back at the records of 50 women to compare spinal anesthesia versus general anesthesia, fo…

This study looks at how doctors trust artificial intelligence (AI) when it estimates a baby's weight during pregnancy. Over 300 clinicians will review ultrasound cases and choose between AI-based or traditional weight estimates. Some doctors will also see how reliable the AI is. …

This study will use Doppler ultrasound to measure blood flow in the uterine artery before and after removing a molar pregnancy. The goal is to see if these measurements can predict which patients will develop persistent gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, a type of cancer. Resea…

This study reviews 300 cases of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) over 10 years at an Egyptian hospital. PAS is a pregnancy complication where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall, risking severe bleeding. Researchers will compare traditional surgery (removing the ut…

This study looks at whether measuring IL-6 and lactate in cord blood can detect early signs of infection or inflammation in full-term newborns. Researchers will compare 160 women whose fetal heart rate patterns suggest possible inflammation with those whose patterns are normal. I…

This study looks at how often pregnant women who have their water break early carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Researchers will collect samples from 250 women across French hospitals to track these bacteria and identify risk factors. The goal is to help doctors choose better …

This study looks at whether blood flow in a small fetal vein, measured by ultrasound, can predict pregnancy outcomes. Researchers will compare 160 pregnant women with and without intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) between 24 and 37 weeks. The goal is to improve early detectio…
