NCT ID NCT02597699
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding a powerful morphine-like drug (Ultiva) to the standard numbing medicine (Xylocaine) could make the feticide procedure faster and less painful for the fetus. 66 women undergoing late-term pregnancy termination (after 22 weeks) took part. The main goal was to see how quickly the fetal heartbeat stopped after the injection.
