ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called "Survey Purity 2022," is looking at how common nausea and vomiting are among pregnant women in Switzerland. The last study on this topic was done in 2015, and researchers want to see if new treatments for these symptoms have changed how many women experience them. To do this, they will survey pregnant women who are between 18 and 22 weeks along in their pregnancy.

To participate in the study, women need to be at least 18 years old and having a normal pregnancy—those expecting twins or who used assisted reproductive technologies won't be included. Participants will complete questionnaires in one of several languages (Italian, German, French, or English) to share their experiences with nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. The information gathered will help researchers understand how these symptoms affect women today and could lead to better support and treatments for those who suffer from them.
