Viagra during labor? study tests unusual approach to prevent birth complications

NCT ID NCT06377098

Summary

This pilot study aimed to test whether giving sildenafil citrate (the active ingredient in Viagra) to mothers during labor could reduce fetal distress and birth complications in hospitals with limited resources. Researchers planned to compare sildenafil against a placebo pill in mothers during early labor, tracking both immediate birth outcomes and child development up to three years later. The trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, but was designed to gather information for a larger future study.
