Prick of a finger vs. needle in the arm: which blood test works best for pregnancy?

NCT ID NCT07493720

First seen Apr 16, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study will check if a simple finger stick blood test gives the same pregnancy hormone (beta-hCG) results as a standard blood draw from the arm. About 40 pregnant women will provide both types of blood samples so researchers can compare the numbers. If finger stick blood works just as well, it could make pregnancy testing easier and less painful.
