Treatments tested in this trial

  • Magnesium-PEA-HMW Hyaluronic Acid-Vitamin B6-Vitamin D + Vaginal Progesterone

    Drug

    Participants randomized to the treatment arm will receive a combination oral supplement containing Magnesium (450 mg), Palmitoylethanolamide (200 mg), high-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid (200 mg), Vitamin B6 (2.6 mg), and Vitamin D (50 µg / 2000 IU), administered as two tablets per day. The supplement will be given in addition to standard vaginal progesterone (200 mg once daily). Treatment begins at enrollment (20-34 weeks' gestation) and continues until 37 weeks of gestati

  • Standard Treatment (Guideline-Based)

    Other intervention

    Participants randomized to the control arm will receive standard therapy consisting of vaginal progesterone (200 mg once daily) from enrollment (20-34 weeks' gestation) until 37 weeks of gestation. No additional supplements or investigational products will be administered.
