Trial of oxytocin rest to reduce c-section
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking a break from oxytocin (a medicine used to strengthen contractions) can help reduce the chance of needing a C-section. It is for women whose labor has slowed down despite oxytocin.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be carrying one baby who is head-down in the womb.
- You must be at least 36 weeks pregnant.
- Your labor has not progressed past 6 centimeters dilation after 8 hours since your water broke and while on oxytocin.

This study tests if changing the mother's position during a long, slow labor can help speed things up. If your labor is not progressing as expected, you may be able to join and try different positions to see if they help.
This trial tests whether a continuous oxytocin infusion during a C-section helps maintain labor progress in people already receiving oxytocin. It may help reduce labor-related complications, but only if you meet the safety requirements for anesthesia and pregnancy conditions.
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 trial tests a new under-the-tongue tablet (sublingual oxytocin) to prevent heavy bleeding after childbirth. It aims to see if it works safely in healthy women having a vaginal delivery at full term.
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 study tests a medication called oxytocin during labor induction to see if it helps make labor smoother for women who have given birth before. It may shorten labor or reduce complications.
