About this study

The EUM100pro (Electrical Uterine Monitor)is a uterine contraction monitor which measures uterine contractions based on the electrical activity of the uterine muscle.The study will compare the EUM100pro measurements to the already existing uterine contractions monitors (tocodynamometer and Intra Uterine Pressure Catheter) in pregnant women with complaints of uterine contractions.

Read the detailed description

The main objective of the study is to demonstrate that the EUM100pro is as good as the current methods for monitoring pregnancy in labor (tocodynamometer, IUPC) in measuring uterine contractions. This will be performed by measuring the expectancy of time differences between the tocodynamometer/IUPC and the EUM in the beginning, end, peak and duration of each contraction. A good correlation will be 0.9 and significance of 95%.

100 women will be recruited to the study. The measurement with the EUM100pro will not interfere with the usual clinical care, meaning- the EUM100pro will be used in addition to the standard care and monitoring.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The study primary outcome is to demonstrate that the EUM100pro uterine contractions measurements is as good as the current methods for monitoring pregnancy in labor (tocodynamometer, IUPC).

    The primary outcome will be measured by correlation of timing of :peak display in beginning, during and end of peak in the EUM100pro versus the timing of the peak display in beginning, during and the end tocodynamometer and or IUPC peak.

    Measured: two years

  2. To evaluate patient safety

    Measurements of device related adverse events throughout the study.

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Correlation of uterine contractions intensity between EUM100pro and Intra Uterine Pressure Catheter measurements.

    The secondary outcome will investigate a correlation between the intensity/peak of contraction of mechanical contraction as measured by Intra Uterine pressure catheter and the intensity/peak of contraction of electrical activity as measured by the EUM exists.

    Measured: one year

  2. To evaluate usability of the EUM100pro

    Measured: one year

  3. to evaluate whether a fetal ECG can be exctraced from the electrical signal of the uterus.

    The electrical signal recorded from the abdomen thechnically contain the uterine muscle electrical activity but also the electrical signal from the fetal ecg.

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pregnancy, run by OB-Tools Ltd. at 1 site in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Tal Shental Biron, MD (972-577482716, Tal.Biron-Shental@clalit.org.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The study primary outcome is to demonstrate that the EUM100pro uterine contractions measurements is as good as the current methods for monitoring pregnancy in labor (tocodynamometer, IUPC). (time frame: two years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Jun 2011.
