NCT ID NCT06438575
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a rapid point-of-care test (Xpert® Xpress MVP) helps doctors diagnose vaginal infections more accurately than usual methods. 351 women with symptoms like discharge or itching were randomly assigned to either usual care or the rapid test. Researchers then checked if the prescribed treatment matched CDC guidelines, and followed up after two weeks to assess satisfaction and symptom relief.
