Ultrasound angle may predict IUD displacement risk
NCT ID NCT05556421
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether the uterocervical angle (the angle between the uterus and cervix) measured by ultrasound can predict if a copper IUD will shift out of its correct position. Researchers studied 123 women aged 21-45 who had a T-Cu 380A IUD inserted. They compared the uterocervical angle in women with a displaced IUD versus those with a normally positioned IUD. The goal is to find a simple way to identify women at higher risk for IUD displacement before insertion.
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 successful, this could help doctors identify women at higher risk for IUD displacement before insertion, potentially reducing unplanned pregnancies.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not apply to all IUD types or populations, and the angle measurement may not be reliable enough for routine use.
