All recruiting trials (4)
-
Ophthalmic Artery Doppler to predict labor problems before induction
This study tests whether measuring the ophthalmic artery Doppler in pregnant people at term who are being induced can help predict intrapartum fetal distress.
-
Natural cervical ripening to delay pharmacological induction of labor
This pilot study tests whether nipple stimulation and membrane sweeping can help some pregnant people go into labor on their own without needing drugs.
-
Propess versus PGE2 gel plus Foley balloon for cervical ripening before labor
This trial tests whether a slow‑release Propess insert or a PGE2 vaginal gel combined with a Foley balloon gets women at term with a single baby and an unfavorable cervix into active labor faster.
-
Using castor oil and a balloon catheter to induce labor in multiparous women
This study is testing if taking castor oil with orange juice along with a balloon catheter can help women who have given birth before have their babies faster and easier.
