Mirror, mirror on the bed: could it ease labor pain?
NCT ID NCT07659249
First seen Jun 22, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether placing a mirror at the foot of the delivery bed helps first-time mothers during the pushing stage of labor. Researchers want to see if seeing the baby's progress reduces pain, increases feelings of support and control, and shortens the pushing phase. Eighty women will be randomly assigned to either use the mirror or receive standard care.
