Numbing medicines for pain after childbirth with a cut
This trial tests two numbing medicines (lidocaine and bupivacaine) to see which works better for pain after a cut (episiotomy) during childbirth. If you are having your first baby and deliver vaginally with an episiotomy, you may be able to join and receive a local injection for pain relief.

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 - NCT07517978Recruiting
How Vaginal Changes Relate to Delivery Method
This study explores how vaginal tissue changes after childbirth and whether the way you delivered (vaginal birth vs. cesarean section) makes a difference. Understanding these changes may help doctors better support women's health after pregnancy.
AsyutAges 18 years+ - NCT07212361Recruiting
Restoring infant gut bacteria with mother's microbes
This study tests whether giving healthy newborns a special mix of their own mother's friendly bacteria can help build a healthy gut. It is for mothers who had a healthy pregnancy, plan to breastfeed, and live near Helsinki.
HelsinkiAges Up to 50 years - NCT07308977Recruiting
Study of assisted vaginal birth practices in Egypt
This study looks at how doctors in Egypt perform assisted vaginal deliveries. It may help understand current practices and improve training and outcomes.
CairoAges 28–60 - NCT06823349RecruitingPhase 4
Pain relief study for normal labor
This trial compares a single injection of pain medicine into the spinal fluid to other methods during normal labor. It aims to see how well it works for women in active labor with a single, full-term baby in head-down position.
AswānAges Any age - NCT06653270Recruiting
Virtual reality birth simulator for medical students
This trial uses a virtual reality birth simulator to help 4th-year medical students learn about childbirth. It aims to see if this training method is better than traditional teaching.
SingaporeAges 18–50 - NCT07428317Recruiting
Lubricant gel to shorten pushing during labor
This study tests if using a lubricant gel during the pushing stage of labor can shorten the time it takes for a baby to be born vaginally. If you are healthy and have a low-risk pregnancy, this may help make your delivery faster and easier.
Tegucigalpa, Francisco Morazán DepartmentAges 18–49 - NCT07714902Recruiting
Calcium gluconate to reduce bleeding during vaginal birth

HaifaAges 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.
Naples, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06923319Enrolling by invitation
Learning curve for vaginal birth on a mannequin
This trial studies how quickly doctors learn to use different tools for vaginal delivery by practicing on a mannequin. It may help improve training for residents and specialists.
Chieti, CHAges 24–70 - NCT07496879Enrolling by invitation
Virtual tour app for first-time mothers
This trial tests whether a QR-code-based virtual tour of the delivery room can help first-time pregnant women feel more prepared and have better childbirth experiences. You would use your smartphone to take a virtual tour before giving birth.
Erzurum, YakutiyeAges 18–45 - NCT05966649Recruiting
Synbiotics for preventing preterm birth in higher-risk pregnancies
This trial tests whether taking synbiotics (a mix of “good” probiotics and “food” for them) can help lower the chance of going into labor too early. It’s for pregnant people with certain risk factors for preterm birth, and it compares outcomes while you follow the study plan.
Edegem, AntwerpenAges 18 years+ - NCT07499752Enrolling by invitation
Study on fewer tears: Local anesthesia for first vaginal birth
This study tests whether using local anesthesia during your first vaginal birth can reduce the risk of perineal tears. It aims to make childbirth safer and more comfortable.
StockholmAges 18–64 - NCT07258459Recruiting
Vaginal birth after two cesareans
This trial tests if women who have had two previous cesarean sections can safely have a vaginal birth. It includes pregnant women past 34 weeks with a baby in head-down position.
