Comparing two ways to predict how labor induction goes
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to predict how well labor induction will go before it starts. One method uses a pelvic exam score, the other uses an ultrasound measurement of the cervix. Your doctor will use this information to plan the safest induction approach for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with only one baby
- Your baby is head-down
- You are at least 37 weeks pregnant
- Labor is being induced for a medical reason like being overdue, low fluid, high blood pressure, or water breaking early
- You have not had prior surgery on your uterus (like a C-section)
- You do not have certain infections (like genital herpes or HIV)

This study looks at how well doctors can predict whether labor induction will work for first-time mothers. It focuses on women who are at least 39 weeks pregnant with a single baby in the head-down position, whose water hasn't broken, and whose cervix is not yet ready. Participating may help doctors better plan inductions in the future.
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 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 compares two ways of starting labour in full-term pregnancies to see which method is safer and more effective. If you are nearing your due date and need induction, this trial might help determine the best approach for you and your baby.
This study compares two methods used to prepare the cervix before inducing labor at full term: a small rod called Dilapan-S and a balloon catheter. If you're going to be induced, this trial may help doctors learn which method is more effective and comfortable for women like you.
This trial compares different methods for inducing labor to see which works best, is safest, and gives the most satisfaction. It may help you if you need to have your labor started in the hospital.
