Early Amniotomy After Partial Water Break
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether intentionally breaking the remaining membrane (the amnion) after your water has partially broken can help labor start sooner. It is for women who are near their due date, have a single head-down baby, and are not yet in labor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are pregnant with one baby, and the baby is head-down
- Your water broke but one of the two membrane layers is still intact, and you are not in labor yet
- You have had the rupture for less than 12 hours
- You are at least 37 weeks pregnant
- You have no sign of infection, no green/brown fluid, and no reason you cannot deliver vaginally

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at the fluid around the baby (amniotic fluid) in women with a short cervix or with early breaking of the water (premature rupture of membranes). The goal is to better understand these conditions and possibly improve care.
This study compares two medicines to start labor after your water breaks early: one medicine (PGE2) is given first, then another (oxytocin), versus giving oxytocin alone. It aims to see which approach leads to a safer and smoother delivery.
This trial tests two antibiotic approaches for pregnant women at term (37+ weeks) whose water bag has broken. Researchers are comparing ampicillin alone versus ampicillin plus gentamicin to see which approach better prevents infection and leads to better outcomes for mother and baby.
This trial studies whether taking antibiotics can help in pregnancies where the “water” broke early (before 23 weeks) but you don’t have a fever. It aims to reduce complications while keeping both mother and baby as safe as possible.
This trial studies whether magnesium sulfate can help when the pregnancy water breaks early (before full term) between 28 weeks and about 37 weeks. It may aim to improve baby outcomes and help doctors safely manage labor risk.
This trial tests if adding a Foley bulb to oxytocin is better than oxytocin alone for inducing labor when your water has broken early (between 34 and 37 weeks). It aims to find the safest and most effective method to help you deliver.
