First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether showing first-time mothers real-time ultrasound images of their pelvic floor muscles can help them push more effectively during labor. The trial focuses on women at full-term pregnancy who have a specific muscle coordination issue. Participants receive either ultrasound-guided training or standard verbal instructions, and researchers compare how long the pushing stage of labor lasts and whether birth outcomes improve.
