View clinical trials related to Labor, Induced.
Filter by:The aim of induction of labour is to initiate labour when maternal and fetal conditions necessitate delivery before the onset of spontaneous contractions. Prostaglandins are widely used for induction of labour, and can be administered orally, vaginally, intracervically, endovenously and by extra-amniotic or intra-amniotic routes. Dinoprostone is one of the synthetic prostaglandins most commonly used to achieve cervical ripening and labour induction, and can be administered as tablets, suppositories, gel (vaginal and intracervical) or as a controlled-release intravaginal pessary. The controlled-release pessary has some potential advantages: a single application is required; the insert is easily administered and can be removed as soon as labour starts or if complications ensue. Studies comparing the dinoprostone vaginal insert to other prostaglandin formulations have shown variable results, probably influenced by drug administration regimens, indications for induction, and cervical conditions of the women. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of the induction of labour using dinoprostone in patients with an unfavourable cervix, and to compare the efficacy and the cost of 24-hours controlled-release dinoprostone pessary and intravaginal dinoprostone gel.
The aim of this study is to compare two different preparation
The aim of the study was to evaluate any possible associations between engagement and position of the fetal head and the outcome of labor in women with induced labor, and to compare the value of ultrasound measurements in predicting the time from induction to delivery and operative deliveries.
The goal of this study is to compare the vaginal delivery rates in women undergoing induction of labor with an unripe cervix between oxytocin induction alone and preinduction cervical ripening with prostaglandin El (misoprostol). Secondary goals are to measure and compare the time intervals to delivery between the two methods.
Our purpose was to compare the efficacy and safety of Foley catheter with oxytocin and extraamniotic saline infusion with oxytocin for induction of labor requiring cervical ripening.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the misoprostol vaginal insert (50 mcg and 100 mcg) can safely and effectively speed time to vaginal delivery compared to Cervidil (R) in women who need to have cervical ripneing and induction of labor.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of rhRlx for cervical ripening, when compared to a placebo.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of early amniotomy on reducing both the duration of labor and the frequency of dystocia in nulliparous women undergoing an induction of labor. This research project is a prospective, parallel clinical trial, in which subjects are randomized into one of two treatment groups: those who undergo early amniotomy and those who do not undergo early artificial rupture of the amniotic membranes.
