About this study

Official title: Sleep Disturbances and Depression of the Mother Affect to the Pain During Balloon Catheter Induction of Labour

Randomised trial comparing double balloon catheter for induction of labor between inpatient and outpatient groups. The investigators assess how sleep disturbances and depression of the mother affect to the pain during balloon catheter induction of labour.

Read the detailed description

Participants included to this randomised study are women with uncomplicated singleton pregnancy with ≥ 37- ≤ 41+5 weeks of gestation. Participants are randomised to two groups: one hundred are randomised to the inpatient and one hundred to the outpatient group.

The main outcome measure is the pain evaluated by VAS at one, five , nine and 13 hours after the placement of double balloon induction catheter. The investigators assess also the effect of the sleep disturbance and depression of the mother to the pain during balloon catheter induction of the labour.

The total hospital stay and induction to delivery interval time is measured. Also the mode of birth as well as maternal and neonatal morbidity and patient satisfaction are recorded.

Being tested
Intervention for outpatient group was to go home, Intervention for inpatient group was to stay at ward

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03380897, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
