Recruiting studies
- NCT07517796RecruitingPhase 4
IV Papaverine to Help Induce Labor in Pregnancies with Broken Water
This study tests whether an IV medication called papaverine can help induce labor in pregnant people at term (37+ weeks) whose water has broken but labor hasn't started yet. The goal is to see if this medication makes labor start naturally and reduces the need for cesarean delivery.
Nahariya, IsraelAges 18–45 - NCT05759988Recruiting
Outpatient cervical ripening with a Foley catheter
This study tests whether using a Foley catheter outside the hospital to help your cervix soften and prepare for labor is safe and effective. You may be offered an outpatient approach if you are eligible for labor induction and have a low-risk pregnancy.
Newark, DelawareAges 18–60 - NCT06199154RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Inducing labor in women with severe obesity
This study tests starting labor in women with a BMI of 40 or higher. The goal is to learn if certain methods are safe and effective for this group.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04603859Recruiting
When to induce labor for people with higher weight
This study looks at the best timing to start labor (induction) during pregnancy for people with a higher body weight. It may help reduce risks by comparing earlier vs later induction in otherwise eligible pregnancies.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT05674487Recruiting
Balloon vs prostaglandin medicine to start labor in small babies
This trial compares two ways to help start labor by the vagina in pregnancies where the baby is measuring small. It aims to see which method works better and is safer for getting birth when needed.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06591247Recruiting
Membrane stripping to prepare the cervix for labor
This trial tests a simple procedure called membrane stripping to help prepare the cervix for labor. It may be an option for women with full-term pregnancies who are already starting to dilate and want to avoid stronger medications.
Kfar Saba, Central DistrictAges 18–50 - NCT07366359Recruiting
Comparing two labor-starting medicines after water breaks early
This study compares two medicines to start labor after your water breaks early: one medicine (PGE2) is given first, then another (oxytocin), versus giving oxytocin alone. It aims to see which approach leads to a safer and smoother delivery.
Hanoi, HanoiAges 18 years+ - NCT06488781RecruitingPhase 2
Antibiotics before labor induction for first-time moms with obesity
This study tests whether giving a single antibiotic (azithromycin) before labor induction can help prevent complications in first-time mothers who have obesity. It aims to make delivery safer for you and your baby.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 15–45
