Summary

This trial tests a three-part 'Cesarean Bundle' designed to improve communication and trust between pregnant women and their care teams when discussing planned cesarean sections. The bundle includes a discussion guide, a mandatory second opinion, and shared decision-making support. Researchers will measure whether this approach increases patient trust and whether it leads to fewer cesarean sections, especially among low-risk pregnancies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Cesarean Bundle, a structured intervention with a discussion guide, mandatory second opinion, and shared decision-making support
What this could lead to
If effective, this could improve trust between pregnant women and their doctors and help reduce unnecessary cesarean sections, leading to safer births and faster recoveries.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small and focuses on communication, so it may not change actual C-section rates. Results depend on how well clinics adopt the bundle, and individual outcomes may vary.

About 260 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

May 2026

Expected to finish

Dec 2035

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
