Recruiting studies
- NCT06605118RecruitingPhase 3

HaifaAges 18 years+ - NCT05080309Recruiting
Drinking more carbohydrates during labor to reduce assisted delivery
This study tests whether drinking a higher amount of sugar/carbohydrates during labor (more than 44 calories per hour) can lower the chance of needing an assisted vaginal delivery (like instruments). It may help some people by supporting energy during labor, but it’s only for those with low-risk pregnancies.
CaenAges 18–60 - NCT07278037Recruiting
Tranexamic Acid for Postpartum Hemorrhage Trends

Bangkoknoi, BangkokAges Any age - NCT06693817Recruiting
Wireless sensors for newborns in the delivery room
This trial tests advanced wireless sensors to monitor babies born at 35 weeks or later who are stable at delivery. The goal is to see if these sensors can improve care right after birth.
Londrina, ParanáAges 8 months–10 months - NCT06980025RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin dose trial to prevent preterm birth
This study tests if a higher dose of aspirin can help prevent another early delivery in women who have had a preterm birth before. If you qualify, you would take either a standard or escalated dose of aspirin during your current pregnancy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 14 years+ - NCT05681624Recruiting
Extra oxygen during labor to support the baby
This trial studies whether giving extra oxygen to the pregnant person during labor helps the baby during “intrauterine resuscitation,” when monitoring suggests the baby needs support. It may help babies recover better while still in the womb, especially during continuous fetal monitoring.
St Louis, MissouriAges Any age - NCT06411158Recruiting
Pelvic floor training for urine leakage after first baby
This study tests whether a pelvic floor training program delivered through a smartphone app can help first-time moms who leak urine after childbirth. The program is designed for women who had a vaginal delivery with certain risk factors for ongoing pelvic floor issues.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07025954Recruiting
Delivery at 36 vs. 37 weeks for placenta previa with accreta
This trial compares delivering at 36 weeks versus 37 weeks for pregnant women with a condition called placenta previa with accreta, where the placenta covers the cervix and grows too deeply into the womb. The goal is to find the best time for delivery to improve safety for both mother and baby.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–45 - NCT07140640RecruitingPhase 4
Lowering anesthetic dose for C-section safety
This trial tests if using 20% less of a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) during a C-section can reduce the chance of the spinal block going too high. This may lower risks and improve safety for mothers.
Aswān, Aswan GovernorateAges 18–45 - NCT03232918RecruitingPhase 4
Oxytocin effects on baby’s heart rate during labor
This study looks at how oxytocin (a labor-inducing/strengthening medicine) may affect your baby’s heart rate during labor. It also compares what happens when labor pain relief is given as a spinal/epidural injection.

Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05699005RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized or standard blood transfusion during heart-lung machine
This trial tests whether giving blood in a personalized way, instead of a standard approach, is better for people on a heart-lung bypass machine (VA-ECMO) for heart-related shock. It may help find a safer blood transfusion strategy while you are critically ill.
Lille, NORDAges 18 years+ - NCT07124676Recruiting
Comparing two systems for classifying second-degree vaginal tears after childbirth
This study looks at two different ways to classify second-degree tears that happen during a vaginal birth. The goal is to see which system better predicts problems after delivery, helping doctors provide the best care.

C-section wound closure: standard vs. a new skin closure system
This study compares two types of wound closure after a planned C-section to see which one patients prefer and how it affects healing. It uses a special skin closure system that may reduce scarring and improve your recovery experience.
North York, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05881629Recruiting
Early checks and interventions for baby’s unusual head position
This study looks at whether checking the baby’s head position early during labor and doing a planned intervention can help improve delivery outcomes. It focuses on labor when you are around 6–9 cm dilated and the baby is positioned a certain way (back-of-head toward your belly or back).
