Measuring uterine tone with a durometer during c-section
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a device called a durometer to measure how firm the uterus is during a planned cesarean delivery. It aims to find if this tool can help doctors better assess uterine health after childbirth.

This study tests if giving carbetocin with calcium helps the uterus contract better after a planned c-section. It's for women at 37+ weeks without high risk for poor uterine tone.
This study tests how several medicines used for blood pressure affect muscle “tightening” in tissue taken during planned C-sections. It’s an in-vitro (lab) study, so it mainly helps doctors understand how to prevent weak uterine contractions (uterine atony) during delivery.
This study looks at how well different doses of a contraction medicine work after an initial dose in women having a planned C-section. It may help find the best way to prevent bleeding after birth.
This study compares two medical devices used to start labor in women who have had one previous C-section and whose cervix is not yet ready. It aims to find which device works best for safely inducing labor.
This study is looking at how well a new, non-invasive monitor measures pain and anxiety in women during a planned cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. It may help doctors better understand and manage pain and anxiety during the procedure.
This study tests a non-drug method using gentle electrical pulses (called TENS) to help manage pain after a C-section. It might reduce the need for pain medication and improve your recovery.
