Timing of oxytocin in second stage of labor
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at when oxytocin is started during the pushing phase of labor to understand if timing affects outcomes for the mother and baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Pregnant with one baby (not twins or more)
- At least 18 years old
- Oxytocin (a medicine to help contractions) was started or increased during the pushing phase

This study looks at whether checking the baby’s head position early during labor and doing a planned intervention can help improve delivery outcomes. It focuses on labor when you are around 6–9 cm dilated and the baby is positioned a certain way (back-of-head toward your belly or back).
This study compares two doses of oxytocin (a medicine that helps labor contractions) to see which works better for women who are overweight or have obesity (BMI 30 or above) when labor is started or strengthened. Participation could help find the safest and most effective dose for this group.
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.
This study looks at how oxytocin (a medicine often used to help with labor and uterine contractions) moves through the body and what it does during a non-emergency C-section. It may help improve how oxytocin is used in the future for safer, more predictable delivery care.
This trial compares two ways of giving oxytocin (a medicine that helps the uterus contract) during a cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. It will check how each method affects your blood pressure and heart rate during and after delivery.
This study looks at how oxytocin (a labor-inducing/strengthening medicine) may affect your baby’s heart rate during labor. It also compares what happens when labor pain relief is given as a spinal/epidural injection.
