Bed rest for short cervix under scrutiny: could normal activity be better?
NCT ID NCT07577388
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether recommending bed rest to pregnant women with a short cervix actually helps prevent preterm birth. Researchers will compare women who are told to rest with those who continue normal daily activities. The goal is to see if avoiding bed rest is just as safe and may reduce side effects like depression and bone loss.
