WHO Labor Care Guide to Reduce Cesarean Births
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.

This study tests a structured guide for how to provide labor and birth care while you are actively in labor. It’s meant to improve support and care during delivery at participating hospitals.
This study tests a special care model during childbirth based on World Health Organization guidelines. It aims to see if this approach helps with labor pain, comfort, satisfaction, and lowers the risk of postpartum depression.
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 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 study looks at whether using a new “labor chart” (called a partograph) during active labor can improve outcomes for newborns. If you’re currently in active labor, this trial may check whether the new chart helps care teams make better decisions.
