Twin trouble? scientists hunt for hidden clues in the vagina

NCT ID NCT06053697

First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looks at 120 women with twin pregnancies to see if the tiny organisms living in the vagina are linked to giving birth too early. Researchers will take swabs and measure cervix stiffness to find patterns that could one day help predict and prevent preterm birth in twins. The goal is to gather knowledge for future treatments, not to test a new drug or cure.
