Active clinical trials for "Abortion, Missed"

The investigators will study the feasibility of using 90mg ulipristal acetate, a selective progesterone receptor agonist, as an adjunct to 800mcg vaginal misoprostol for the medical management of early pregnancy loss. Patients will be followed to assess effective treatment of early pregnancy loss, additional interventions needed, side effects, adverse events and patient acceptability.

The miscarriage is one of the adverse outcomes of pregnancy and is responsible for stress and anxiety of the couple. there are different types of miscarriages.missed miscarriage also known as early fetal demise is one of the type of miscarriage in which patient is mostly asymptomatic but Ultrasound shows absent fetal cardiac activity.Traditionally surgical evacuation of uterus was the treatment of choice for miscarriage.The treatment of miscarriage has evolved significantly in recent years.medical management using misoprostol is the newest treatment option.Misoprostol is a synthetic prostaglandin E(1) analogue that is commonly used for medical miscarriage It can be given orally, vaginally and sublingually.

The termination of abortion is an important issue that has many controversies. The most common time of serious abortion-related complications is the second trimester. Missed abortion is one of the most common indications of termination of pregnancy in the second trimester. Misoprostol and mifepristone are effective drugs for induction of abortion but these drugs are now expensive, and non-available in many developing countries. The effectiveness of Foley's catheter balloon on cervical ripping for mid-trimester pregnancy termination has been proved before. It can effectually shorten the time of the expulsion of the fetus. Amniotomy defines as an artificial rupture of the membranes; it is an ordinary obstetric practice used mainly in the induction of labor, with good results and less morbidity. The obstetricians used to combine amniotomy with other methods such as prostaglandins or oxytocin to induce labor in a woman with an unfavorable cervix. Despite plenty of studies that investigated the role of amniotomy for induction of labor but the studies which addressed the role of amniotomy in the induction of second-trimester abortion are very scarce in the literature.

The aim of this work is to assess the effectiveness and safety of Ulipristal Acetate in the management of 2nd trimester missed abortion along with misoprostol in pregnant women with previous caesarean section versus the use of misoprostol only with placebo as regards the time needed for abortion,Hypothesis: In pregnant women with 2nd trimester missed abortion with previous caesarean section , Ulipristal Acetate may decrease the time interval to achieve abortion when combined with Misoprostol in comparison to misoprostol alone.the included women divided to 2 groups Group A: will receive Ulipristal acetate 30mg, starting misoprostol 12 hours later 100µg every 6 hours buccal according to FIGO guidelines 2017.Group B: will receive placebo then 12 hours later start misoprostol 100µg every 6 hours buccal according to FIGO guidelines 2017. then we assess Induction-to-abortion interval time.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether oral versus vaginal misoprostol is effective in termination of first trimester missed abortion and to compare between two different routes.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of buccal misoprostol and comparing this with vaginal route of the same drug.

Induction of midtrimester abortion includes cervical ripening and then contraction to induce uterine evacuation. There are several protocols, but most of them include using prostaglandins (PG). The disadvantages of using PG include uncomfortable side effects and limits of using it for women after cesarean section. Mifepristone is an antiprogesterone drug and been used for induction of abortion in first and second trimesters abortions. The aim of this study is to explore the effectiveness of Mifepristone for cervical ripening before high dose Oxytocin drip.

The investigators are conducting a study on pain control for dilation and curettage (D&C). Participants are eligible to enroll if they are a planning to have a D&C in a participating clinic. The investigators are studying how different ratios of medication to liquid affect pain when injected around the cervix. Both potential methods use the same dose of medication, though researchers would like to know which one works better. To be in this study, participants must be over the age of 18 with an early pregnancy loss or undesired pregnancy measuring less than 12 weeks gestation undergoing D&C while awake in clinic.

Termination of pregnancy is an important subject that has complex and emotional controversies. The most common time of termination of pregnancy is the mid-trimester which has two-thirds of all serious abortion-related complications. There are many indications for mid trimester termination of pregnancy such as missed abortion, serious fetal abnormalities and lastly some women do not wish to continue a pregnancy and will often request termination of pregnancy

The aim of this work is to compare the effectiveness of sublingual misoprostol 400 mcg versus 800 mcg for medical treatment of the first trimester missed miscarriage.
