NCT ID NCT07759622

First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests a three-part 'Cesarean Bundle' designed to improve communication and trust between pregnant women and their care teams when discussing planned cesarean sections. The bundle includes a discussion guide, a mandatory second opinion, and shared decision-making support. Researchers will measure whether this approach increases patient trust and whether it leads to fewer cesarean sections, especially among low-risk pregnancies.

What this could lead to
If effective, this could improve trust between pregnant women and their doctors and help reduce unnecessary cesarean sections, leading to safer births and faster recoveries.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small and focuses on communication, so it may not change actual C-section rates. Results depend on how well clinics adopt the bundle, and individual outcomes may vary.
