This study is testing whether nipple stimulation works as well as the standard medication (oxytocin) for inducing labor in first-time mothers. Researchers want to see if this natural approach leads to more unassisted vaginal births, better breastfeeding success, and fewer complic…

This study aims to find out which pain relief medicine works better for women in active labor: tramadol or paracetamol. Researchers will compare these drugs against a placebo (saltwater injection) in 300 first-time mothers to see which reduces pain most effectively and whether it…

This study is testing if lying on the left side helps labor progress faster than lying on your back. It involves 188 first-time mothers in Honduras who are in active labor. Researchers will measure how long labor lasts and check if one position leads to fewer C-sections or other …

This study is comparing two methods of epidural pain relief for women in labor. It aims to see if a newer technique called Dural Puncture Epidural (DPE) provides faster and better pain relief than the standard epidural. Researchers will measure pain levels, side effects, and how …

This study is testing whether a TENS device, which uses mild electrical pulses on the skin, can safely reduce pain for women during active labor. It will involve 132 first-time mothers, who will try both the real device and a placebo version to compare pain levels. The goal is to…

This study is comparing two different ways to give epidural pain relief during labor. Researchers want to see which method—regular small doses or a continuous flow—provides better pain control while using less medication and allowing mothers to move more easily. The study will in…
