NCT ID NCT06918509
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a new medical device called OdonAssist™ for helping with difficult births in a rural Ethiopian hospital. Twenty women who needed assistance during labor used the device, and researchers checked how well it worked, how safe it was, and how acceptable it felt to mothers and healthcare workers. The goal was to see if this device could be a better option than traditional tools like forceps or vacuum, especially in low-resource settings.

What this could lead to
If successful, this device could provide a safer, simpler alternative to forceps or vacuum for assisted childbirth, especially in low-resource settings.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The device is still experimental and not yet proven effective or safe in larger trials.
