NCT ID NCT07204028
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether measuring blood flow in the corpus luteum (a temporary gland in the ovary) using Doppler ultrasound can help predict how a pregnancy will progress in the first three months. Researchers studied 120 women with early pregnancies, including some with threatened miscarriage. The goal was to see if this technique could identify pregnancies at risk of complications.
