About this study

Official title: Analysis of the Use of the Fetal Movement Counting for Prolonged Pregnancy: Prospective Randomized Study.

Prospective mono-centric randomized open-label study (randomization 1: 1, 2 groups) comparing a group of patients who received conventional information to a group of patients who had been sensitized to a fetal active movement count technique.

The study will take place at the University Hospital Center of Saint-Etienne in the gynecology-obstetrics department.

An information brochure on the study will be handed over at the end of the term consultation to 41+0 weeks of gestation. After collecting the consent of the patient, the distribution between the two groups will be done by randomization. Thus, for the fetal active movement count group, fetal active movement count education will be proposed during the term consultation with the submission of an information brochure. The "control" group will also receive a simple information pamphlet with, in writing, what patients currently receive orally: definition of active fetal movements, and the need to consult if the patient perceives less movements of her fetus .The principal objective is to compare perinatal morbidity in relation with the sensation of decrease active fetal movements in case of late pregnancy, according to the fact if the patients use or not the AFM's count.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Classic informationProcedure or surgery

    The team delivers to each patient a unique and standardized information brochure including a definition of fetal active movements, and the need to consult if the patient perceives less the movements of her fetus.

  • Information by detailed brochure on the fetal active movements accountProcedure or surgery

    Delayed single and standardized explanatory card on fetal movements (definition, interests of their follow-up, technique of movements on fetuses, table to fill during the follow-up noting the number of active movements physical feelings at 3 times of the day, managing the decrease in the number of active fetal movements).

What is being measured

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

  1. The presence of more than 2 criteria of a composite perinatal morbidity score.

    The primary outcome will be the presence of more than 2 criteria of a composite perinatal morbidity score:

    • Fetal heart rate anomaly during childbirth.
    • Apgar < 7 at 5 minutes
    • Cord arterial Ph < 7.20
    • Acute respiratory distress with the need for surveillance in neonatal resuscitation

    Measured: At the delivery.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of consultations

    Number of consultations with the sensation of decrease active fetal movements.

    Measured: At the delivery.

  2. Consultation's delay

    Consultation's delay in relation with the sensation of decrease active fetal movements (classified on <12 hours or >12hours).

    Measured: At the delivery.

  3. Ranking of consultations in 'justified' or 'not justified'

    Ranking of consultations in 'justified' or 'not justified' is depending on the result of the complementary examinations practiced (Ultrasound with Manning score, kleihauer test). A consultation for reduction of fetal active movements is considered justified if presence of abnormal fetal heart rate and / or Manning score less than 8/8 and / or positive kleihauer test.

    Measured: At the delivery.

  4. Mode of labor

    Spontaneous or induction of labor, and explications for induction.

    Measured: At the delivery.

  5. Childbirth

    Caesarean, spontaneous outcome, assisted vaginal outcome.

    Measured: At the delivery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Classic information and Information by detailed brochure on the fetal active movements account in people with Prolonged Pregnancy, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 1 site in France.

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 7 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 12 Apr 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 France. 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?

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?

The presence of more than 2 criteria of a composite perinatal morbidity score. (time frame: At the delivery.). 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 12 Apr 2022.
