New study tests propofol vs spinal analgesia for breech baby turn
NCT ID NCT06449430
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two pain relief methods—propofol sedation and spinal analgesia with bupivacaine—during a procedure to turn breech babies (external cephalic version). The goal is to see which method leads to more successful turns and fewer complications. 270 pregnant women with breech babies will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
propofol and bupivacaine
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that propofol sedation is a better option for turning breech babies, potentially reducing the need for C-sections.
What could go wrong
This is a moderate-sized trial with no phase designation, so results may not be definitive. Both sedation and spinal analgesia carry risks like allergic reactions or temporary side effects.
