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 mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Cesarean Bundle, a structured intervention with a discussion guide, mandatory second opinion, and shared decision-making support
- 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.
