Finger prick may replace needle for pregnancy blood test
NCT ID NCT07493720
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will check if a simple finger stick blood sample gives the same pregnancy hormone (beta-hCG) levels as a standard blood draw from a vein. About 40 pregnant women will provide both types of blood samples. If the finger stick method is accurate, it could offer a less painful option for pregnancy testing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If finger stick blood works as well as standard blood draws, it could make pregnancy testing more convenient and less painful.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study (40 participants) that only checks if the two methods match. It won't change care on its own.
