About this study

Official title: Study the Effect of Intravenous Hyoscine Butylbromide Injection on the Duration and Progress of First Stage Labour in High Risk Women

A case control trial Patients who meet the inclusion criteria were asked to participate in the study and a written consent was obtained from each patient after explaining thoroughly the nature and the scope of the study.

Patients were divided into three equal groups:

Group A: included 40 pregnant patients. They received two ml of normal saline intravenously as a placebo.

Group B: included 40 pregnant patients. They received (20mg) hyoscine butylbromide (one ml HBB+ one ml saline) intravenously.

Group C: included 40 pregnant patients .They received two ml (40 mg) hyoscine butylbromide intravenously (HBB).

Read the detailed description

A case control trial Patients who meet the inclusion criteria were asked to participate in the study and a written consent was obtained from each patient after explaining thoroughly the nature and the scope of the study.

For each patient:

  1. Complete history was taking to exclude allergy to hyoscine butylbromide, medical disorders with pregnancy (preeclampsia, diabetes mellitus, heart disease …etc.) and any contraindication for vaginal delivery.
  2. General examination of the patients including (pulse, blood pressure, temperature).
  3. Obstetric Abdominal examination including fetal lie, fetal presentation, head station and uterine contractions.
  4. Vaginal examination including cervical dilatation, effacement and position, state of fetal membranes, presenting part, position of fetal head and pelvic adequacy.
  5. Obstetric ultrasound to detect fetal gestational age, fetal birth weight amount of liquor, site of placental attachment and fetal heart rate.

Patients were divided into three equal groups:

Group A: included 40 pregnant patients. They received two ml of normal saline intravenously as a placebo.

Group B: included 40 pregnant patients. They received (20mg) hyoscine butylbromide (one ml HBB+ one ml saline) intravenously.

Group C: included 40 pregnant patients .They received two ml (40 mg) hyoscine butylbromide intravenously (HBB).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing hyoscine butylbromide in people with Vaginal Delivery, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 7 inclusion and 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Mar 2022. 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 Egypt. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Duration of the first stage of labour (time frame: 24 hours). 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 Mar 2022.
