Can ultrasound stiffness tests predict fertility?
NCT ID NCT06816381
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study uses a special ultrasound technique called shear wave elastography to measure how stiff the uterus, cervix, and ovaries are in women with and without fertility problems. Researchers will track changes across the menstrual cycle in 40 women to establish normal ranges. The goal is to see if tissue stiffness can help diagnose infertility or predict treatment outcomes.
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 use ultrasound to better diagnose fertility issues or predict IVF success.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (40 people) that only measures tissue stiffness—it does not test any treatment. The findings may not lead to a practical diagnostic tool.
