Electronic breast pump stimulation during labor to help mothers
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether using an electronic breast pump to stimulate the nipples during labor affects birth outcomes and helps mothers. You might qualify if you are a first-time pregnant person (no prior births) who is planning to start oxytocin (a labor medicine) once labor begins.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have never given birth before
- You are at least 36 weeks pregnant when you join the study
- You are expecting one baby (not twins or more)
- Your care team plans to start oxytocin through an IV during labor
- Your baby is head-down (vertex) at the time you join

This study is testing how well a combination of two medicines (bupivacaine and lidocaine) works for epidural pain relief during early labor. The goal is to find the best dose to help manage labor pain.
This study tests if adding TENS (a gentle electrical stimulation on the back) to standard medication helps start labor more comfortably for women whose labor needs to be induced. It may reduce pain and make the ripening process easier.
This trial tests a gentle electrical device (TENS) to help manage pain during labor. It's for women having their first baby, with a healthy, single pregnancy, and no major health issues.
This trial tests whether giving a preventive dose of ephedrine during spinal/epidural pain relief helps keep your baby’s heart rate tracing reassuring and reduces strong uterine tightening. It may be considered for people already planning labor analgesia with spinal/epidural anesthesia.
This study tests whether gently stimulating the nipples can help trigger labor in pregnant people who are ready to deliver. Researchers want to know if it's safe, effective, and acceptable to patients and healthcare providers.
This study looks at how oxytocin, a medication that helps labor contractions, affects the second stage of labor. It may help researchers understand what leads to safer and smoother delivery for first-time mothers.
