Testing a new device during vaginal childbirth
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a new device (a swab-counter system) can be safely and practically used during childbirth. It focuses on people having planned vaginal births, including how the team can count/track materials during labor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must give informed consent (agree after being fully told).
- Your pregnancy must not be considered high-risk for serious mother/baby worsening during birth.
- You should not need very high-level hospital care during labor (high dependency care).
- You must plan for vaginal birth, not an emergency C-section due to medical concerns.

This trial tests whether showing mothers a real-time ultrasound image of their pelvic floor while they push can help them push more effectively and feel more satisfied with their birth experience. It is for first-time mothers who have an epidural and are carrying a single full-term baby head-down.
This trial looks at how mothers recover after childbirth and may help improve care plans that support faster, smoother recovery. You may be eligible if you recently delivered a single baby at term and can complete study tasks in Chinese.
This study tests a new, noninvasive electrical scan (like a gentle probe) to detect hidden tears during childbirth, comparing it to a standard physical exam. It is for first-time mothers who deliver vaginally.
This trial tests a new sensor system (called INGA) to monitor your baby's heartbeat and your contractions during labor induction. It is for full-term pregnant women with an unripe cervix who are planning to have labor started using a balloon catheter.
This trial tests a new medical device to see if it can help predict preterm birth in pregnant women who are having early contractions. It may help doctors decide which patients need treatment to prevent early delivery.
This trial tests whether a special device that monitors the mother's nervous system during labor can help prevent complications for the baby. The device is a non-invasive belt placed on the mother's abdomen.
