Gentler labor start for overdue babies? study tests two methods

NCT ID NCT02907060

Summary

This study compared two methods to help start labor in pregnancies that have gone past 41 weeks. Researchers wanted to see if using a mechanical balloon device was gentler and led to fewer C-sections for suspected fetal distress than using a hormonal pessary. Over 1,200 pregnant women participated in this completed Phase 3 trial.
