NCT ID NCT07690007
First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether using a cervical balloon along with the medication misoprostol on the first day of labor induction can shorten the time from start to delivery in first-time mothers. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either misoprostol alone or misoprostol plus a balloon. The trial measures delivery time and monitors safety for both mother and baby.
