NCT ID NCT05880290

First seen Feb 21, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study looked at whether a gynecological exam done while lying on the side (lateral decubitus) works well enough to be a regular option. Many women find the standard exam uncomfortable or embarrassing, which can lead to skipping important checkups. Researchers tested this side-lying position in 547 women to see if it could be a good alternative that respects modesty and comfort.
