NCT ID NCT05782816
First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a higher dose of oxytocin (a medicine to start or speed up labor) helps first-time mothers deliver faster or more safely compared to a lower dose. 170 women were randomly assigned to receive either a low or high starting dose, with increases every 20 minutes. The goal was to see how long it took to deliver and whether the dose affected the type of delivery or caused any problems for mother or baby.
