NCT ID NCT07202221
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a short animated film can help first-time mothers feel more confident when deciding about epidural pain relief during labour. 120 women expecting their first baby will be randomly assigned to receive either standard written information alone or the written information plus the animation. Researchers will measure changes in decisional conflict, anxiety, and satisfaction before and after receiving the information.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that adding a short animation to written information helps expectant mothers feel more confident and less conflicted about choosing epidural pain relief.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (120 participants) that measures decision-making and anxiety, not medical outcomes. The animation may not significantly improve decisional conflict compared to written information alone.
