Imagery training for children with brachial plexus injury
This study tests whether graded motor imagery training — a type of mental practice involving imagining movements — can help children aged 7–18 with a brachial plexus injury that happened at birth. It could offer a new way to improve movement without needing hands-on therapy.
Izmir, MenemenAges 7–18 - NCT06925152RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve block for C-section pain in complex surgery history
This study tests a targeted numbing injection (a nerve block) in the belly wall during C-sections to improve pain control and recovery for people who have had multiple or complex abdominal surgeries. It aims to see if this approach reduces the need for strong pain medicines.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18–50 - NCT06506721Recruiting
Comparing two devices for labor induction after one C-section
This study compares two medical devices used to start labor in women who have had one previous C-section and whose cervix is not yet ready. It aims to find which device works best for safely inducing labor.
BernAges 18–60 - NCT06382636Recruiting
Helping pregnant people make decisions about genetic testing
This study is for pregnant people who were offered prenatal genetic testing. It aims to help them make informed decisions about these tests, with the goal of improving pregnancy outcomes.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–50 - NCT07430358Recruiting
AI risk assessment for first-time mothers in labor
This trial tests whether artificial intelligence can help predict how labor will go for first-time mothers and whether a C-section might be needed. It involves women who are at full term with a single baby in head-down position and plan to deliver vaginally.
Jerusalem, IsraelAges 18 years+ - NCT03198702RecruitingPhase 3
Early botulinum shots to prevent shoulder shape problems
This trial tests whether early injections of botulinum toxin into a baby’s arm muscles can prevent the shoulder from changing shape in infants with obstetrical brachial plexus palsy (OBPP). It also checks that the injections are safe and effective over time.
BrestAges 10 months–11 months - NCT05444504Recruiting
Test a small device to help treat vaginal fistula
This study looks at whether “insertable cups” are helpful and acceptable for treating obstetric vaginal fistula (a hole between the birth canal and urinary tract). The trial checks if the device can close the problem and whether participants feel it’s safe and practical to use.
MankessimAges 15 years+ - NCT04109365Recruiting
Study of epidural placement technique during labor
This trial studies an approach to placing an epidural (pain medicine placed near the spine) during early labor. It aims to improve how safely and accurately epidurals are positioned, which may help with comfort during childbirth.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05264779Recruiting
Decision help tool for very early delivery planning
This study tests a decision-support tool (a structured way to guide conversations) for parents facing a high risk of delivering very early (about 22–26 weeks). It may help you and your baby’s care team make clearer, more aligned choices about neonatal (newborn) treatment.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06049784Recruiting
Visual biofeedback before labor using a self-operated ultrasound device
This trial tests whether using a self-operated ultrasound device to provide visual biofeedback before labor can help with the birthing process. It is for low-risk pregnancies planning a vaginal delivery.
Petah TikvaAges 18 years+ - NCT06485323Recruiting
MRI vs CT for pelvic measurements in pregnancy
This trial tests whether an MRI can replace the usual CT scan to measure the size of your pelvis before a planned C-section. It aims to avoid radiation exposure during pregnancy.
BrusselsAges 18–99 - NCT07068022Recruiting
Organ function score for pregnant and new mothers in ICU
