PGE2 then oxytocin versus oxytocin for starting labor after your water breaks at term.
This test will see whether giving a 6-hour vaginal dinoprostone (PGE2) insert before oxytocin or starting oxytocin right away works better for women 18 and older with a single baby whose water breaks at 37–42 weeks and whose cervix isn't ready.
-
Topical numbing cream for balloon-catheter cervical ripening
This trial will test whether applying a numbing cream (lidocaine‑prilocaine, EMLA) to the perineum and posterior vaginal wall before balloon catheter insertion reduces pain for people 34+ weeks pregnant who need labor induction.
-
How information about planned labor induction affects childbirth experience
This project will see if being well informed about a planned induction of labor and patterns of social media use change the childbirth experience for people having a scheduled induction.
-
Papaverine to shorten the second stage of labor after double-balloon cervical ripening
We will test whether a single IV dose of papaverine given right after removing a double-balloon catheter can shorten labor for term pregnant women having labor induced.
-
Evaluating membrane stripping for cervical ripening in labor induction
This study tests whether a method called membrane stripping works better than a double balloon catheter for helping women get ready for labor.
-
Using Mifepristone for outpatient labor induction
This study tests if using Mifepristone can safely help pregnant women start labor at home instead of in the hospital.
