Checking Cervical Readiness Before Inducing Labor
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to check how ready your cervix is before starting labor on purpose. It looks at a physical exam score versus an ultrasound measurement to see which better predicts a smooth induction.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are carrying only one baby.
- Your baby is positioned head-down.
- Your pregnancy is at least 37 weeks along.

- You have not had any past surgeries on your uterus (like a C-section).
- You do not have placenta previa, active genital herpes, or HIV.

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 helps doctors predict whether labor induction (starting labor with medication) will be successful for women having their first baby. By understanding which women are more likely to have a vaginal delivery versus a cesarean section, doctors can better plan care.
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 tests a new type of catheter (a thin, flexible tube) called INGA to see if it safely starts labor in pregnant women. If you are planning to have labor induced because your cervix is not yet ready, this trial compares the INGA catheter to the standard method.
This trial tests a new sensor system (called INGA) to monitor your baby's heartbeat and your contractions during labor induction. It is for full-term pregnant women with an unripe cervix who are planning to have labor started using a balloon catheter.
