Summary

This study compared two ways to start labor in full-term pregnancies: a Foley catheter (a thin tube) and misoprostol (a pill). 76 pregnant women took part. The goal was to see which method led to a shorter time from start to delivery. Results help doctors choose the best option for each patient.
