NCT ID NCT06904534
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 100 pregnant women between 24 and 34 weeks of pregnancy who are given either nifedipine or magnesium sulfate to stop preterm labor. Researchers use ultrasound to check the baby's heart function before and 48 hours after treatment. The goal is to see if these drugs have any unexpected effects on the fetal heart.
