Training for cervical exams in labor and delivery care
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a structured training program helps healthcare staff perform cervical exams more effectively during labor. It may improve how labor and delivery care is delivered at the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a pregnant person receiving care in the Labor and Delivery unit at the Wake Forest Baptist Birth Center.
- You must not have placenta previa (when the placenta covers the cervix).
- You must not have vasa previa (when blood vessels cross near the cervix).
- You must not have any other situation where a cervical exam is not considered safe for you.
- If you are a staff member (doctor, midwife, or labor and delivery nurse), you work in the Labor and Delivery unit at the Wake Forest Baptist Birth Center.

This trial tests whether a patient-centered simulation (practice experience) helps first-time pregnant people prepare for labor and delivery. It may help you feel more prepared and confident for your delivery.
This study looks at different care pathways to help lower the risk of preterm birth (birth too early). It will follow pregnant people with a singleton pregnancy to see which approaches may work best for preventing early delivery.
This study tests whether a mixed reality (combining real and virtual) training tool can help midwifery students learn how to check cervical dilation and effacement during labor. It's for students who are also pregnant women in early labor and want to improve their skills.
This study tests a new training protocol to help obstetric caregivers get better at using ultrasound during labor. If you’re a caregiver who agrees to participate, the goal is to improve skills and potentially the care patients receive.
This study tests whether simulation-based training (practicing on realistic models) helps healthcare workers in delivery rooms and emergency areas provide better immediate care to newborns. It's designed for nurses, midwives, or doctors who work directly with mothers and newborns.
This study teaches midwives hands-on childbirth skills using practice mannequins and realistic scenarios. It aims to see if this training improves how well midwives care for pregnant patients and handle labor complications.
