Comparing two devices for labor induction after one C-section
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and have had exactly one previous C-section (not more than one).
- You are between 24 and 42 weeks pregnant and your doctor decides labor needs to be induced.
- Your cervix is not yet soft or open (a Bishop score less than 6).
- You are not pregnant with twins, and the baby is not in a breech or sideways position.
- You do not have certain complications like infection, bleeding, placenta problems, or a history of other uterine surgeries.

This study compares two plans for first-time mothers: inducing labor at 39 weeks versus waiting for labor to start on its own. It aims to see whether induction lowers the chance of needing a C-section in low-risk pregnancies.
This trial compares two methods to start labor when it hasn't begun naturally: a device called Dilapan-S and a balloon catheter. It aims to see which is more effective and safer for you and your baby.
This study tests a new balloon catheter device (Inga Catheter) to see if it is safe and easy to use for starting labor. It may help women with an unripe cervix who need to be induced.
This study compares different ways to start labor when it hasn't begun naturally. It may help you if your pregnancy is full-term and your cervix isn't ready yet, and your baby is in a good position for a vaginal birth.
This trial tests two different methods of preparing the cervix for labor induction in first-time mothers. The goal is to see which approach is more likely to lead to a vaginal delivery.
This study tests whether using a standardized approach to preparing the cervix for labor induction leads to better outcomes. You would be randomly assigned to receive either a medication (misoprostol) or a small balloon device to soften and open your cervix before labor is induced.
