First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study tests whether membrane sweeping, a simple technique done during a pelvic exam, can help start labor on its own and reduce the need for medical induction in full-term pregnancies. Researchers will track 256 pregnant women to see if the procedure shortens delivery time and lowers the chance of needing labor-inducing drugs. The goal is to improve safety and comfort for both mother and baby.
