Comparing devices to lift the baby's head during a full-dilation C-section
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two devices used during a C-section when the cervix is fully or nearly fully open, to help lift the baby's head safely. It aims to find which method works better and is safer for both mother and baby.

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 looks at whether checking the baby’s head position early during labor and doing a planned intervention can help improve delivery outcomes. It focuses on labor when you are around 6–9 cm dilated and the baby is positioned a certain way (back-of-head toward your belly or back).
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 if using ultrasound during labor can help correct the baby's head position when it is not facing the right way. The goal is to improve the chances of a normal vaginal delivery.
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.
This trial compares two ways to help start labor by the vagina in pregnancies where the baby is measuring small. It aims to see which method works better and is safer for getting birth when needed.
