NCT ID NCT07615946

First seen Jun 02, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tested whether membrane sweeping, a simple procedure done during a vaginal exam, can help start labor naturally in women with full-term pregnancies. Researchers compared 214 women who received the procedure to those who got standard care. The goal was to see if it reduces the need for medical induction or C-sections and improves outcomes for mothers and babies.
